Norway hails Schjelderup as Benfica winger racks up praise | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup has been the center of attention in recent days, after putting in a superb display against the Netherlands. In the aftermath of the match, the Benfica winger received plenty of praise from his national teammates and from Norway coach Ståle Solbakken.

"He is extremely strong. He is a fantastic player. He is not afraid of anything and went straight at Dumfries. It is good to have players like that in the team," began national team striker Alexander Sorloth, praising the way Schjelderup played against the Netherlands.

"In life, mistakes are made. He was condemned and certainly learned from it. Doing so well at Benfica shows how strong he is, and he is delivering game after game. It is very good for us," said Ørjan Nyland, the Nordic side's goalkeeper, full of praise for the 21-year-old star.

"That is not how it works. They will play ten to fifteen matches for their clubs before we meet again at the end of May. Then Nusa will play against Switzerland. Maybe then ask me if he is the first choice," Solbakken explained in comments to the Norwegian press, seeking to avoid premature euphoria.

This season, playing for Benfica, Andreas Schjelderup — valued at €14 million — has already made a total of 36 official appearances: 21 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup and one in the League Cup. .
