Marco Silva, Benfica's coach, came forward to publicly assure that young winger Schjelderup is "very happy" at the club, denying any rumors about a possible player discomfort. The coach made these statements at a time when the player's situation has been the subject of speculation.
The coach recalled that the player himself acknowledges he "wasn't in a great moment" when he arrived at Benfica, after having had an excellent World Cup. Marco Silva highlighted that Schjelderup was "often decisive" in that competition, demonstrating the quality the player possesses.
Despite the criticism that has arisen regarding Schjelderup's performance, Marco Silva expressed confidence in his player and didn't hesitate to point out what he expects from him. The coach intends for the winger to elevate his level consistently throughout the rest of the season.
The Benfica coach also demonstrated confidence in Sudakov, another player who has been under media attention. Marco Silva maintains the conviction that both players can make important contributions to the team throughout the season.
