Benfica man on how Schjelderup hurt Nacional's defence: The aim was... | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup was once again one of Benfica's standout players, this time against Nacional. After providing the assist for Richard Ríos' goal against Casa Pia, the Norwegian winger was the one who opened the scoring against the island side. At the end of the match, José Mourinho explained how number 21 and Prestianni dismantled the black-and-white side's defense.

"He was getting through. We have two youngsters in good form, Prestianni and Schjelderup. We can say they’ve grown, and it seems like they just keep growing," José Mourinho began by saying in the quick interview area, speaking to BTV, where he had also given his analysis of the match played at the Estádio da Luz.

"Not only are they doing better what they already did well, they’re also doing things they couldn’t do before. We created a lot down that side. The goal was to come out with intensity, pin the opponent back, and not let them play out. That’s what we did," applauded the Special One, acknowledging that the two wingers have developed very well in recent months.

"We had so many chances for the third goal in the first half... and in the second as well. We missed the penalty, and we had other great chances. The 3 points are what matter, but we wanted to do more and do better. We had some very good spells," concluded José Mourinho, speaking to BTV.

So far this season for Benfica, Andreas Schjelderup - valued at €20 million - has already made 38 official appearances: 23 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the League Cup. .
