Schjelderup’s teammate on Benfica winger: It’s very clear | OneFootball

Morten Thorsby sided with Andreas Schjelderup regarding the controversy involving the Benfica player. Recall that the Norwegian winger is going through a difficult period after the scandal involving the sharing of inappropriate videos with minors, which allegedly happened two years ago. The player’s presence in the national team was even called into question.

For Morten Thorsby, the Norwegian midfielder who plays for Genoa in Italy, there is no doubt. The player, a teammate of Schjelderup on the national team, stated that the group took “good” care of the Benfica player, and that the confession and apology were “very important.”

“Andreas apologized for what he did. We just have to support him and make him focus only on football and his work. That is very clear and easy for us. We support everything Solbakken said,” said Morten Thorsby, following the words of the Norwegian coach, who also declared his support for Schjelderup.

Recall that Andreas Schjelderup started Norway’s match against Estonia on the bench. The player was brought on in the 69th minute, and felt the warmth of the Norwegian fans, who made a point of showing their support for the player.

The local press reported a huge ovation from the Norwegian crowd when Andreas Schjelderup entered the field. The match ended with a 4-1 victory for the Nordics, who are in a great position to secure qualification for the 2026 World Cup in the next match against Italy.
