While he is focusing on the Norwegian under-21 team, Andreas Schjelderup gave an interview to TV2released this Monday, where he took the opportunity to talk about his adventure at Benfica, highlighting his idol Ángel Di María… without forgetting his compatriot Fredrik Aursnes.
“Di María is a fantastic person and an even better player. He is a great example. There is one thing he cannot teach, talent. It is absolutely sickening. The fact that he continues to play at the level he does at that age is really impressive . He’s a born winner”, said the young Nordic, about the Argentine star.
“I’m happy. It’s a good city and a good club. Aursnes? We’re neighbors. It’s nice to have a Norwegian right next door who I can talk to and relax with off the pitch. We live in an apartment complex, so you just walk across the hall Maybe I’m the one who goes there most often. When I get a little bored, I take a trip there”, joked Schjelderup.
Remember that, after a first season in which he was loaned to Nordsjaelland, the 20-year-old striker is now having an opportunity under Bruno Lage and admitted to having fulfilled “a dream at Luz”, when he scored one of the goals in the rout against Rio Ave (5-0), having played six games in the current season.

Andreas Schjelderup’s Adventure at Benfica: A Delightfully Cheeky Perspective!
Oh, the joys of football! It’s like a soap opera, isn’t it? With all the drama, the heartache, and the occasional kick to the shins. This week, we turn our focus to the delightful world of Andreas Schjelderup, a young Norwegian lad who seems to be living the dream over at Benfica. After all, what could be better than a sunny spot in Portugal, the thrill of the game, and a dash of celebrity idol-worship? Answer: Nothing! Well, maybe a foot massage… but let’s not get sidetracked.
In an interview with TV2, Schjelderup spilled the beans on everything from his footballing journey to the joys of sharing an apartment complex with compatriot Fredrik Aursnes. Let’s face it, having a fellow Norwegian nearby must be comforting, especially when you’re trying to decipher a menu full of Portuguese delicacies. “Oh, what’s that? Oh, just some dried fish! Well, there goes dinner!”
He waxed poetic about his idol, Ángel Di María, saying, “Di María is a fantastic person and an even better player.” I mean, who wouldn’t want to hear that? It’s like being told you’re the best thing since sliced bread by the baker who makes the bread! Schjelderup continues to shower praise on Di María, stating that the Argentine is a “born winner” and that he continues to impress, even at his age. Honestly, talk about having high standards! If I were Di María, I’d start playing with one leg just to keep things interesting. “You think this is talent? Just wait ‘til I really try!”
And then we have the charming bit about how Schjelderup and Aursnes are neighbors, which sounds suspiciously like the plot of a sitcom. ‘Two Norwegians in Lisbon’ – it’s practically begging for a laugh track. “Hey, Fredrik, can I borrow a cup of lingonberry jam?” “Sure, Andreas, but I need it back by 5!” Those are the riveting conversations footballers engage in off the pitch, ladies and gentlemen.
In his first season, Schjelderup had an adventurous detour to Nordsjaelland but is now making waves under the watchful eye of Bruno Lage. And can we just take a moment to appreciate that he scored during the 5-0 drubbing of Rio Ave? Not just any goal — a dream goal! Or as I like to call it, “The best way to make the highlights reel.” Six games into the season, and he’s living his best life, like a toddler in a candy store who has just spotted a five-foot-tall chocolate fountain.
So, here’s to Schjelderup! A young man navigating the cheeky waters of football fame, sharing a laugh with a fellow Norwegian, and learning from one of the best in the business. I mean, when all is said and done, aren’t we all just a few good neighbors and some sweet goals away from happiness? And as for Di María, let’s hope he keeps running circles around us all — because we could use the entertainment!
And that, dear friends, is how you make a mundane football interview full of life, wit, and the occasional giggle. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I think I need to settle down with some lingonberry jam and consider my own career in home sports commentary!
In the spotlight of the Norwegian under-21 team, forward Andreas Schjelderup recently granted an interview to TV2 this Monday, where he reflected on his journey at Benfica, expressing admiration for his idol, Ángel Di María, and acknowledging his fellow countryman, Fredrik Aursnes.
“Di María is a fantastic person and an even better player,” Schjelderup said, marveling at the Argentine star’s talent. “There is one thing he cannot teach, talent. It is absolutely sickening. The fact that he continues to play at the level he does at that age is really impressive. He’s a born winner,” he added, highlighting the impact Di María has had on him as both a player and a role model.
“I’m happy. It’s a good city and a good club,” Schjelderup continued, sharing his sentiments about life in Lisbon. “Aursnes? We’re neighbors. It’s nice to have a Norwegian right next door who I can talk to and relax with off the pitch. We live in an apartment complex, so you just walk across the hall. Maybe I’m the one who goes there most often. When I get a little bored, I take a trip there,” he joked, illustrating the camaraderie and friendship they share beyond the football field.
Remember that, after a first season in which he was loaned to Nordsjaelland, the 20-year-old striker is now having an opportunity under Bruno Lage and admitted to having fulfilled “a dream at Luz,” when he scored one of the goals in the rout against Rio Ave (5-0), having played six games in the current season.

What impact do our life choices have on our happiness and relationships?
Own life choices. Because if two young footballers in Lisbon can find joy in the simple things, then surely we can find a bit of happiness in our everyday lives as well. So, let’s raise a toast to the delightful chaos that is football, to new friendships, and to chasing our dreams—preferably with a side of comedy and maybe just a sprinkle of lingonberry jam for good measure!
After all, it’s all about the journey, and if that journey includes scoring goals, making unforgettable memories, and enjoying a good laugh with your mates, then who could ask for anything more? Cheers to that!
