On loan at Nice, Tiago Gouveia comments on Benfica team-mate's rise | OneFootball

Tiago Gouveia was not indifferent to the success Andreas Schjelderup has been enjoying. In an interview, the Portuguese player, on loan at Nice from Benfica, spoke about the development of the 21-year-old winger — who has stood out for the national team — and revealed that continuity and consistency are the secret behind the Nordic player’s growth.

"Schjelderup would play 10, 15 minutes, then not play, then play 5, then play 10. I’m not saying this to criticize the coach’s decision and choice. That Schjelderup should play and not Fredrik [Aursnes] or Sudakov on the left. I’m talking about the reality of the facts", Tiago Gouveia began by saying on the program Zona Frontal.

"The key, for me, is continuity. And continuity includes a lot of things. It includes confidence. Playing 10 minutes, 15 minutes, it’s very difficult to show everything he has. And I went through that myself. So I know perfectly well what that is like," explained the Portuguese player, currently playing in Ligue 1.

It should be remembered that the Nordic winger was close to leaving Luz in the January transfer window, but managed to convince José Mourinho. Last Friday, March 27, the number 21 scored for the national team for the first time, and his performance received lavish praise even from members of the opposing team.

This season, playing for Benfica, Andreas Schjelderup — valued at 14 million euros — 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. .
