Over the last few days, images of Sporting player Viktor Gyökeres smoking a water pipe, known as shisha, in a Lisbon nightclub have been circulating on social media, prompting a series of criticisms and comments about the player’s behaviour.
“It’s a bit unexpected that this has come to light, but it’s not something I think about. People can think what they want and it’s not something that worries me,” he said at the end of the Nations League match against Estonia (0-3).
“It’s more dangerous to find me on the pitch. Maybe that’s what they should be thinking about, not the fact that I’ll be doing it at some point,” he added when asked about the harm that doctors have pointed out. This season, Gyökeres has 16 goals and six assists in 15 games, split between the national team and Sporting.
