Seba Coates sends message and Sporting stalwart replies: We have plenty | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand - who was called up to represent Denmark - played his 100th game with the lion on his chest in the National - Sporting match of the third round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The green and white midfielder was presented with messages from various captains of the different green and white teams, including a few words from Seba Coates, a former central defender for the lions.

Sporting shared a video through their official channels where Morten Hjulmand is faced with several questions from different figures of Sporting. The lions' midfielder began by responding to Salvador Salvador about locker room speeches: "I haven't given a speech in Portuguese yet. I still feel more comfortable in English. So I speak in English".

"I always try to bring positive energy when things don't go well. It doesn't happen often, but I always try", he replied next to João Matos, before explaining to Diogo Ventura, from the basketball team, what he felt when he entered the field in the match against Gil Vicente last season.

"I was still calm. But I also understood the importance of that game. I think it's also our quality to stay calm when the situation is difficult. We were almost losing the championship, but we stayed calm and won the game". He then recounted that the most important game "was against Vitória last year, when we won at our stadium and I won my first title as captain", not forgetting the most memorable moment when he arrived at Marquês in 2024.

He then responded to three former Sporting captains. "For me, it's always important to win titles. So I will try to win more titles at the club. It's my goal: to win more titles", he explained to Adrien Silva, then told Iordanov that he understands the responsibility of his role at Sporting, where he is happy. Lastly, he spoke with Coates, whom he praised for being a reference for him, not forgetting: "I always need to help the youngsters in the locker room. We have many".

To conclude, he responded to his current teammates. With Gonçalo Inácio, he joked about the Portuguese central defender's clothing, before finishing with a response to Daniel Bragança: "It's much harder to understand Paulinho's jokes. But I'm trying. He talks with his hands and arms. It's difficult. I want to thank the captains for the questions. I'm very happy to have played 100 games here! Thanks to my teammates, staff, and fans".
