Stale Solbakken did not mince words when reacting to the latest controversial case. The Norway national team coach could not remain indifferent to the situation involving Andreas Schjelderup and considered that the Benfica winger had an 'extremely stupid attitude' and will have to accept the associated consequences.

Through a statement issued by the Norwegian federation, the press gained access to the national coach's remarks. "Andreas spoke to me about this on Friday. There is no doubt that it was an extremely stupid attitude from one of our young players," Stale Solbakken began, referring to the controversial case.

On the other hand, the coach was more reassured by what Schjelderup has done: "I am glad that he has expressed so clearly that he regrets what happened and for the people affected, and that he has cooperated with the Danish authorities."

In the same statement, the national coach revealed some details about the conversation he had with Benfica's number 21: "He confessed to the incident that happened two years ago and is taking responsibility for the consequences. I am fully confident that he has learned from this and that he will never do anything like it again."
