Rasmus Højlund has revealed what Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim told him after he missed two clear opportunities in their recent match — words that left the Danish striker upset and caused him to lose respect for his coach.
Speaking after the game, Højlund said, “I don’t want to come across as unprofessional, but what Amorim said to me after I missed that chance is something no player would accept. We’re all human and bound to make mistakes. I respect him a lot, but what he said made me lose respect for him.”
The 21-year-old forward missed two key chances that could have changed the game’s outcome. Instead of encouragement, Amorim reportedly responded with a harsh critique. Although the exact comments haven’t been made public, Højlund’s willingness to speak out indicates the impact of the manager’s reaction.
This incident has sparked concerns about possible tension between the player and the coach, and some wonder if it might affect Højlund’s future at the club. Sporting CP fans are now waiting to see how the club addresses the situation
