Morten Hjulmand reacts to Sporting setback: Tough defeat, but... | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand, as well as some of the leaders of Sporting's locker room, have already shared their reactions to the defeat in the match against Porto, part of the fourth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The lions were defeated 2-1, but the players showed a desire to keep fighting for the championship title.

The group of captains of Sporting felt the defeat against Porto and let the dust settle before commenting on the result with the team or sending any message to the fans - unlike Rui Borges, who did so on the day of the match. More calmly, last Monday, September 1, the first messages reflecting the players' state of mind began to emerge.

Morten Hjulmand, Sporting's captain and midfielder who was honored at Alvalade before the classic against Porto for reaching 100 games with the lion on his chest, wrote the following on his social media: "It was a tough defeat. But we will never give up, Sporting fans. Never!".

"A tough defeat against a good rival. Now we have to chase to get ahead. Thank you, Sporting fans, together we will succeed!", were the words shared by Pedro Gonçalves, another member of the group of captains, who seemed to endorse Morten Hjulmand's words.

Geny Catamo, the Mozambican winger who started in the Sporting - Porto classic, also shared a message of strength with the fans: "Side by side until the end. We have a lot of work ahead and we know we will turn things around. Let's go, Sporting fans!".
