Diego Simeone, coach of Atlético de Madrid, spoke publicly about Morten Hjulmand, the Danish midfielder who represented Sporting before transferring to another club. His comments come within the context of a comparison between different football leagues.
The Argentine coach praised Hjulmand's qualities as a midfielder, recognizing his technical and tactical abilities. However, Simeone made an observation about the pace of play in LaLiga, suggesting that it is a championship where the game proceeds more slowly.
Simeone explained that Hjulmand is still adapting to Spanish football and that he continues to seek to find the ideal pace to compete in LaLiga. This statement suggests that the Danish player's transition from Portuguese to Spanish football has not yet been fully completed.
The former Sporting player, who recently left the Portuguese club, now faces the challenge of establishing himself in one of the most competitive championships in Europe, with Simeone acknowledging that the adaptation process takes its time.
