Due to the dispute between Schjeeldrup and Mourinho, the Norwegian coach: The latter has always been my role model

October 9th, Benfica coach Mourinho said that Norwegian international Schjeldrup could not play the full 90 minutes. In response to such remarks, Norway coach Solbakken responded that it is indeed difficult for a player to have such ability if he has never completed such playing time, which caused a sharp response from "Special One". He said: "I hope that when the players are at Benfica, the national team coach will not interfere and stay in his position." At a press conference, Solbakken said that he had been misunderstood and that there were no problems between him and the Portuguese coach.

Solbakken said: "This is a strong interpretation. I said I agree with everything Mourinho said and agree with his summary of Schjeldrup's career, but if he has never played a full 90 minutes, it is difficult to make him a player who can play the whole game. Other than that, you will not get the answer. I completely agree with him about Schjeldrup. "I don't want any conflict, but I can't say nothing. Mourinho has been a role model for me for many years, especially in the way he handles important games. Maybe we will see what he will do."
