In the last round of World Cup qualifying early this morning, Norway defeated Italy 4-1 away from home. Norway coach Staal Solbakken was interviewed after the game.
Starr Solbakken first said: "When I saw the group draw results of the World Preliminaries, I was almost certain that Italy would advance. But in the end we became first in the group, which makes us very proud. During this World Preliminaries journey, I want to I asked the players to pay a lot, they gave me a lot, and they did a great job."
Starr Solbakken continued: "Haaland is a scoring machine, and I am very happy that the Italian home fans are also applauding him. This is a group that has been there for many years. Fans who have come to see many great players play at San Siro, I am very happy that they also recognized Haaland's performance."
Finally, Starr Solbakken said: "We are a combination of physicality and technology, and we must remember our game tonight. Captain Odegaard is absent. We chose two hard-working midfielders, but they also have excellent technical levels. No team relies solely on one aspect of their quality. Perhaps only Barcelona coached by Guardiola is a team that relies 100% on technology."
