Diamantino Miranda complains about Sporting player: He gets on my nerves | OneFootball

Diamantino Miranda harshly criticized Morten Hjulmand’s behavior – who will miss the clash with PSG. The former Benfica footballer complains that Sporting’s midfielder is constantly arguing with referees whenever a foul is called against the Alvalade club.

“Hjulmand is always involved in arguments with the referees whenever there’s any foul against Sporting. But that’s the only reason he annoys me, just like Maxi Araújo annoys me in many situations,” said the commentator, who is associated with the red club, on the program ‘Liga D’Ouro’ on CMTV.

He also made a point of emphasizing that this annoyance is, for the most part, a matter of club affiliation and perspective: “It only bothers me that he’s always waving his arms in the air, going straight to the referees. Now, if he speaks politely, there’s nothing wrong with that,” he pointed out.

Even so, the former Eagles player distinguishes between body language, which can be interpreted as pressure or protest, and verbal communication, as long as the latter is kept respectful and polite towards the referees of Portuguese football.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Morten Hjulmand – valued at 50 million euros – has played in 21 matches: 13 in Liga Portugal Betclic, six in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Super Cup. In the 1,888 minutes he spent on the pitch, the Lions’ captain scored two goals and provided two assists.

José Mourinho also criticized Hjulmand:
