Benfica star is tearing up the Nations League: unreal, world-class! | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup is increasingly impressing for the Norway national team, and the Benfica winger’s development has not gone unnoticed by his own teammates. The player started on the right side of the attack against Portugal in the match that ended in a 2-1 win for the Portuguese, and once again showed promising signs.

He is one of those who knows the transformation of the Benfica player best and assures that the progress was already evident before the World Cup. The midfielder recalled the first training sessions in preparation for the competition and was surprised by what he saw in the young winger.

“Almost extraterrestrial! And when we arrived at training during the World Cup preparations, I immediately thought: ‘Wow, something happened here.’ He was already ridiculously good at that point, had a fantastic World Cup, and is now showing that he is a world-class player”, Berg said in comments to NRK.

What’s more, he also highlighted two characteristics that, in his opinion, help explain the transformation: “It’s partly his explosiveness. He has also become more ruthless. In one-on-one situations, he maintains a level in training that sometimes seems almost impossible to believe,” he explained, as quoted by Nettavisen.
