Benfica Nordic on speaking to Mourinho: worst day of my life | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup was full of praise for José Mourinho. Currently with the Norway national team, the Benfica winger gave an interview in which he spoke about the work he has been doing with the Special One, recalling the conversation he had with the Portuguese coach.

"A legendary coach, from whom I learned a great deal", the 21-year-old player began by admitting in an interview with TV2, in a lengthy conversation where he spoke about his journey, his current stage in his career, his ambitions for the World Cup, and also Barcelona’s interest.

"It’s a bit surreal how things have changed over the last few months", Schjelderup admitted, when addressing the less happy spell at Luz last January, when he was close to leaving Benfica, since he was not part of José Mourinho’s plans.

"If what we spoke about at the beginning was my worst day, then this was probably the best day of my life", the Nordic winger revealed, as he explained what the conversations with José Mourinho were like, before and after the decision to stay at Luz, at the Special One’s request.

So far this season for Benfica, Andreas Schjelderup — valued at 14 million euros — has 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. .
