Schjelderup sends message to Bruno Lage ahead of Benfica return (Video) | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup shone in the friendly match between Norway and Finland, which ended with a victory for the team of the Benfica star, 1-0, with a penalty goal by Erling Haaland. However, the main highlight of the match was indeed the young player under Bruno Lage's command, who was named the best on the field.

It was Andreas Schjelderup who won the penalty, later converted by the Manchester City star. Nevertheless, the Benfica winger didn't stop there and continued to stand out, notably being the player with the most chances created and achieving 100% success in the crosses he made and the duels he engaged in.

It remains to be seen if Andreas Schjelderup will be a starter again in Norway's home match against Moldova, scheduled for September 9th at 19:45, in a World Cup qualifying game. The Nordic team of the Benfica star is in first place in group I, with 12 points in four games.

In the recent past, Andreas Schjelderup hasn't always been Bruno Lage's initial choice, who faces a challenging task ahead. However, these performances by the 21-year-old winger are a clear 'message', in a good sense, to the coach of the Eagles, despite the arrival of Dodi Lukebakio and Sudakov possibly complicating this goal.

This season, wearing the Benfica jersey, Andreas Schjelderup – valued at 15 million euros – has played six matches: three in the Liga Portugal Betclic and three in the Champions League. In the 344 minutes he was Bruno Lage's option, the winger scored two goals and made two assists.
