Morten Jylmand says he came to Sporting to find “family”. “Here we have the feeling that no one is above the group,” the Danish midfielder told Sporting TV. The player admitted that in the first few weeks he experienced difficulties with the lion on his chest. “Physically speaking, yes, I needed to improve. But the way we play here in Portugal is also different from a technical point of view, so I had to improve that too. I needed to improve in these two dimensions, physical and technical, and I think I achieved that. But of course I think I can do better,” said the player, who is not afraid of comparisons with the other two holding midfielders who have recently come through Alvalade (Paliña and Ugarte): “I know that there have been great players in my position. in front of me, but I believe in myself and believe that I can have my best season and show that I can play for Sporting. Julmand also praised coach Ruben Amorim and the “demands” he places on his players. “He really loves tactics. Therefore, his ideas are very clear for each player and how he wants the team to play,” emphasized the player who cost 18 million euros from the Italian club Lecce. DETAILS
