Norway and England meet in quarterfinals
One of the most attractive series of the quarterfinals pits Norway against England. The Norwegian captain, Martin Odegaard, appears calm but confident.
Premier League advantage
Odegaard highlighted that many of his teammates play in the Premier League, which gives them extra knowledge of the rival.
“Many of us play in England and we know those players very well. We have competed against them many times, but we must analyze the opponent as we always do and believe in ourselves. We have shown the world that we are a good team and in football anything can happen,” commented the captain.
No favoritism or pressure
After eliminating Brazil in the previous round, the Arsenal midfielder pointed out that unexpected turns can occur on the field.
“I think the same thing happened with Brazil: we were not favorites and, as we saw, in football anything can happen. We have to believe in ourselves. We have shown the whole world that we are a good team. In football, anything is possible,” he asserted.
Adaptation to climate
Regarding the environmental conditions, Odegaard added: “We are from Norway and we are not used to this type of climate, but we arrived earlier and we are already adapted.”
Norway will seek to repeat the feat against the English in a duel that promises strong emotions.
