Fredrik Aursnes full of praise for Benfica’s key man: It’s an honour | OneFootball

Fredrik Aursnes did not hide his admiration for José Mourinho. The midfielder from Benfica showed himself to be won over by the Special One, offering high praise for the work he has done at the Estádio da Luz. In addition, the Norwegian explained that it has been excellent to train under the orders of the coach from Setúbal.

In an interview given to Betano, the Eagles’ number 8 spoke about the work José Mourinho has been doing at Benfica. “While I was growing up, I watched him on television, on the biggest stages,” Fredrik Aursnes began, clearly impressed by the figure that is the Special One.

“It’s an honor, it’s been really good working with him, seeing how he works, his ideas, and the person he is, it’s been fantastic,” added the 29-year-old player, in conversation with Betano, at a time when the Eagles are preparing for the derby against Sporting.

“The way he is as a human being, everything about him is very natural and you feel that when you’re a player,” said the former Norwegian international. It should be remembered that Aursnes, according to reports in the press, is José Mourinho’s big trump card for the clash this Friday, December 5, against Rui Borges’ team.

“That’s why it’s very easy. He’s very honest and I think everyone appreciates that,” admitted the number 8. In the current season, Fredrik Aursnes — valued at 20 million euros — has been one of the most important players for the Portuguese coach. “I think he has excellent ideas about football, it’s something we see every day on the pitch,” he concluded.
