FRANKFURT – Excited for himself but above all for the country, closer to qualifying for the round of 16 after the draw against England. Morten Hjulmandformer Lecce midfielder, speaks with pure nostalgia about his times in Salento: “I miss the club, I miss the city, my friends, the food, the sea…”. But then why did he leave? He smiles, he doesn’t say it but it’s easy to understand. His professional growth path led him to Sporting Lisbon, to the happiness of Pantaleo Corvino which generated an amazing capital gain.
Hjulmand’s sentence on Serbia
But now his mind is obviously all on the European Championship: “It’s a shame we didn’t win because we had some chances. But I think our chances of moving forward are good, even if it will be very tough against Serbia.”. He scored the furthest goal of the European Championship, kicking from 28 meters: “I didn’t know that, I’m glad“. But who played better between him and Hojbjerg in midfield? Hjulmand has no doubts: “Him!”.
