Diamantino Miranda on Sporting player: he gets on my nerves | OneFootball

Diamantino Miranda made comments about Morten Hjulmand's behavior. According to the former Benfica player, the footballer from the lion's emblem is constantly arguing with the referees whenever a foul is called against Sporting.

The commentator's statements come in a context where the Dane's attitudes continue to be a topic of debate and have already prompted criticism from figures like José Mourinho: "Hjulmand is always involved in discussions with the referees when there's any foul against Sporting. But that's the only reason it annoys me, just like Maxi Araújo annoys in many situations," he mentioned on CMTV.

Diamantino Miranda made a point of emphasizing that this annoyance is largely a matter of club affiliation and perspective: "It only annoys me that he's always with his arms up straight to the referees. Now, if he speaks politely, there's nothing wrong with that,” he highlighted.

With these words, the former Eagles player differentiates between body language, which can be interpreted as pressure or protest, and verbal communication, as long as it is maintained in a polite and respectful manner towards the referees of Portuguese football.

It should be noted that Morten Hjulmand escaped a yellow card at 21' of the derby, when, by holding Richard Ríos, he prevented the Colombian from appearing at the entrance of the lion's area. In the press conference, José Mourinho stated that, at Sporting, "there is an untouchable player, who controls the game, commits fouls as he wishes, and pulls opponents without seeing a yellow card."
