Benfica star couldn't care less about Nations League: I want the title | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup has put the Nations League behind him and is now fully focused on Benfica. The Norwegian winger acknowledged Portugal’s superiority (2-1), but with his international duties now over, he made no secret of the fact that his main goal is to become national champion.

Norway failed to produce the level they were aiming for, and the winger admitted that the Seleção were better: “Yes, overall. It wasn’t a game with many chances for either side, but I think Portugal had the upper hand,” he admitted.

The player also acknowledged the fatigue caused by a demanding run of matches: “Yes, there were four highly intense games in a short period of time, but every team felt that too, and besides, it’s not easy to play against Portugal in Portugal. I think expectations have to be like that, high. We’ll keep working to improve.”

As for the controversy surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo, he preferred not to add fuel to the fire. “We read the news, we know what’s going on, but I don’t want to comment because I don’t really know what the situation is,” he said. From now on, however, his focus is clearly defined.
