Nordic opens up on difficult spell at Benfica: It was hard | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup is enjoying the best months of his career; however, he has not forgotten the dark period he recently went through. In the aftermath of the match against the Netherlands, the Benfica winger admitted that he went through difficulties while dealing with a legal case.

"What I went through was tough. But I managed to overcome it and now I’m in a good moment", the Benfica player began by admitting, in a conversation with the newspaper VG in the mixed zone, after scoring his first goal for Norway’s senior national team.

"In situations like this, when I come in on my right foot and strike the ball, I know it’s going to be a goal. I’ve practiced this for about ten thousand hours on the artificial pitch at Aspmyra", Schjelderup added, while describing the move in question, for which he was highly praised by some of his national-team teammates.

"I immediately left that behind me.", said Benfica’s number 21, noting that the legal proceedings are an episode that now belongs in the Nordic footballer’s past.
