Benfica starlet on Schjelderup: He does the impossible | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup scored one of the goals in the victory against Alverca (2-1), in the 22nd round of Liga Portugal Betclic, confirming his good run of form. Tomás Cruz, the attacking midfielder who plays for Benfica B, admitted that the moves the Norwegian winger pulls off are unimaginable.

"A player I saw doing things I didn't even know were possible was Schjelderup. In one training session, another player and I were cornering him, really trapping him in the corner, it was two against one. Then I don't even know what he did, but he managed to get out of there and even scored a goal," he revealed in an interview with the 'Carpool Sessions' program on Liga TV.

It’s worth remembering that Tomás Cruz, 20 years old, was highly rated abroad in the final days of the winter transfer window. According to the newspaper Record, clubs from Germany, Denmark, and Kazakhstan were keeping an eye on the Luxembourg international.

Andreas Schjelderup will not soon forget how tumultuous the winter transfer market was. In recent weeks, the winger’s departure from Benfica seemed certain, but as time went on, the player showed his worth and ended up convincing José Mourinho, who backed the Nordic player.

This season, playing for Benfica, Andreas Schjelderup – valued at 14 million euros – has already played a total of 28 official matches: 15 in Liga Portugal Betclic, eight in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the League Cup. In the 1,384 minutes he’s been on the pitch, the Nordic player has recorded five goals and three assists.
