Schjelderup aims dig at Benfica stalwart: I think he saw it | OneFootball

After a good performance for Norway, Andreas Schjelderup, Benfica's forward, teased José Mourinho, the Eagles' coach.

Norway drew 1-1 with New Zealand, with Andreas Schjelderup providing the assist for the equalizing goal. At the end of the match, the Benfica player teased José Mourinho, stating he believed the Special One was attentive to his performance.

"I think he watched the game. From Portugal? Yes. I'm looking forward to returning to the warmth [of Portugal]. There are many cool games ahead, so it will be good," said the red forward, teasing the coach, after he stated that the Nordic player "is not a 90-minute player."

The Benfica forward described the match as "a bit strange," despite his good individual performance: "Eleven new players played [compared to Norway's last starting eleven] and we only had one training session to prepare. It was a poor first half from us, and then we were much better in the second. We created much more and put on a bit of a show for the stadium, but of course, we're sad not to have won."

The Benfica player ended up being substituted in the 81st minute, when the game was 1-1 - the result with which the match would end. It should be noted that Norway is very well positioned to qualify for the World Cup, with six wins in as many games, currently having three more points than Italy in their respective World Cup qualifying group.
