Regarded as one of the first players to leave José Mourinho's squad, Andreas Schjelderup is set to travel to his home country, having been called up by Norway. However, controversy has already arisen, as Stale Solbakken, the Nordic team's coach, has responded to the Special One's comments regarding the number 21 of Benfica.

Following Mourinho's statements, where he explains that the young player is not capable of playing 90 minutes, Solbakken does not entirely disagree, however, he issues a warning: "I agree with much of what Mourinho says. But it also has to do with the fact that he never plays 90 minutes".

Despite partially agreeing with what the Special One said, the national coach of Norway believes that the responsibility for the young player's development lies in the hands of the Eagles' helmsman: "Therefore, it's the club coach's responsibility to give him 90 minutes, it would be easier that way".

In conclusion, Andreas Schjelderup's helmsman believes that he will never reach this level if he never gets a chance to do so, once again highlighting the responsibility of Benfica's coach: "If he never plays 90 minutes, he will never become a 90-minute player. I think Mourinho knows that too".
