José Mourinho has never had any problems pointing out the negative aspects of his players in order to motivate them to be better. However, the Benfica coach now finds himself embroiled in a heated controversy with the Norway national team manager regarding comments about Andreas Schjelderup, who has already spoken about what has happened.
In statements to the Nordic national team’s media, the winger did not remain indifferent to the situation and emphasized that he has a ‘great relationship’ with the Portuguese coach. However, he took the opportunity to stress that he would like to play as many games as possible.
Quoted by local media, the Norwegian recalled that, like him, there are many professionals who sometimes do not get as much playing time as they believed they would: “Like all football players, I want to play as much as possible and contribute as much as possible.”
However, Andreas Schjelderup did not stop there and added that at Seixal – Benfica’s training center – he has shown that he is a name to be considered for the Eagles’ matches: “I have to do everything I can every day in training to show that I deserve to play.”
