Norway won over by Schjelderup as Benfica winger earns praise | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup has been the center of attention in recent days, after putting in a superb display against the Netherlands. In the aftermath of the match, the Benfica winger was highly praised by his international teammates and by Ståle Solbakken, Norway’s coach.

"He is extremely strong. He is a fantastic player. He fears nothing and went straight at Dumfries. It’s good to have players like that in the team," began national team striker Alexander Sorloth, praising the way Schjelderup played against the Netherlands.

"In life, mistakes are made. He was judged and has certainly learned from it. Doing so well at Benfica shows how strong he is, and he is delivering game after game. It is very good for us," pointed out Ørjan Nyland, goalkeeper of the Nordic side, full of praise for the 21-year-old star.

"That’s not how it works. They will play ten to fifteen matches for their clubs before we meet again at the end of May. Then Nusa will play against Switzerland. Maybe then you can ask me if he is the first choice," Solbakken clarified in comments to the Norwegian press, seeking to avoid premature euphoria.
