José Nunes on Hjulmand: Tension between Sporting and player | OneFootball

When addressing the recent and controversial case involving the name of Sporting’s captain, Morten Hjulmand, José Nunes believes there is “a sense of discomfort and embarrassment” between the Alvalade Club, the coach, and the player regarding his exclusion from Sunday’s match against Nacional.

“It’s clear that there is a sense of discomfort and embarrassment on all sides—Sporting, the coach, and I presume Hjulmand as well. I recall, in any case, Gyökeres. The way things played out at the end of his time with Sporting points somewhat in this direction,” he began, in a comment on NOW channel.

“In this specific case, it is evident that there is a situation of discomfort for everyone, from the moment Sporting decided to remove him from the league match against Nacional, a game that, by the way, Sporting managed to secure all three points,” the journalist highlighted.

“We don’t know what would have happened if Morten Hjulmand had been on the field. But, in any case, a player who always plays being excluded in this way—I would say compulsively—from the team, to the point that he didn’t even watch the game, even as captain, and didn’t even go to Estádio José de Alvalade, obviously that caused something,” José Nunes concluded.
