Andreas Schjelderup hailed as world class by Norway team-mates after Portugal loss | OneFootball

Benfica winger Andreas Schjelderup is earning rave reviews inside Norway’s camp after another eye-catching turn, even as Portugal won 2-1.

The 20-year-old started on the right of the attack and again impressed, with his progress increasingly noted by senior team-mates.

“Almost extraterrestrial. When we arrived for World Cup preparation I immediately thought, ‘wow, something has happened here’. He was already ridiculously good then, had a fantastic World Cup and is now showing he is a world-class player,” said midfielder Patrick Berg, speaking to NRK.

Berg also highlighted Schjelderup’s explosiveness and a more ruthless edge in one-on-ones, adding that his training levels can feel scarcely believable at times, comments carried by Nettavisen.

Genoa defender Leo Ostigard echoed the sense of awe from recent sessions. “If you had seen him in training, you would not be shocked by this. We played five against five on a small pitch the other day. Plenty ended up eating a bit of grass and other things,” he said.
