Manchester City's leading striker, Erling Haaland, shared his first thoughts on the Norwegian national team's qualification for the 2026 World Cup. According to him, this victory brought not only joy, but also relief, as it freed him from the burden of responsibility that had been on his shoulders for many years.
According to Haaland, Norway has chosen a consistent path in recent years, achieving significant growth both individually and collectively. Especially the rapid growth of young stars like Nuca and Bobb, as well as Oscar's entry into the main squad at Manchester City, further strengthened the national team's potential.
The striker emphasized that defeating Italy by a large margin at home demonstrates how strong and dangerous Norway has become. He assessed this victory as the result of the team's hard work, discipline, and psychological preparation.
"Our 4-1 victory over Italy shows that our team has reached a new stage. We are now strong enough not only to qualify, but also to compete seriously in the national team. Let everyone understand this," he said.
For information, in the decisive match, Norway defeated Italy away with a large score of 4:1 and joined the ranks of the next participants of the 2026 World Cup.
