Matheus Nunes aims dig at Porto signing: better off at Sporting | OneFootball

Matheus Nunes commented on the arrival of Hwang In-beom in Portuguese football, with the South Korean being one of Porto’s most recent signings. The Portuguese midfielder, who is currently in South Korea with the English club for the pre-season tour, also recalled the quality shown by the player at the 2022 World Cup and said he would have preferred him to join Sporting.

Asked about Hwang’s adaptation, the Portugal international highlighted the difficulties he felt when facing him in Portugal - South Korea: "I feel he will adapt very easily, because I remember he was probably the toughest player on the pitch and very good", he said at a press conference.

The Manchester City player’s response then took on a light-hearted tone when Sporting came into the conversation, in a reference to Matheus Nunes’ past at the Alvalade club: "But I would say that, to help him adapt, maybe it would have been better if he had gone to Sporting (laughs), but he went to Porto."

Despite the joke, Matheus Nunes had a positive message for the Dragons’ new signing, also highlighting the city Hwang In-beom will find during his time in Portugal. "But yes, I think he will enjoy it, especially living in Porto, it’s a good city. He will have a good experience and I wish him good luck."
