Morita on his way out of Sporting, asked about next club | OneFootball

Hidemasa Morita experienced a particularly emotional moment in Sporting’s win over Gil Vicente (3-0). The Japan international, named man of the match, received a huge ovation from Sporting fans and could not hide his emotion. The player was asked about the next club in his career, but said he does not know what the future holds.

After the match, he was keen to dismiss the idea of a final farewell, preferring instead to speak of a future reunion. “I’m not saying goodbye, it’s more of a see you soon,” the midfielder told SportTV, while also sharing heartfelt words for the fans and the atmosphere at Alvalade.

“This stadium is unique because Sporting fans always drive us forward with their support, helping us. All I can say is that I feel honored to have played here,” he said, clearly moved by the tribute he received from the stands.

The player has yet to decide on his next step, but made it clear that his bond with Sporting will remain intact: “This Club is everything to me, it is a family. I will come back,” promised the Japanese player, who left the pitch in tears and embraced Rui Borges when he was substituted.
