July 6, 2022 at 21:03 Norway chose not to inspect the pitch before the opening match The Norwegian national team decided to train on the training field for Brighton instead of taking the last training session at St. Mary’s Stadium where the match against Northern Ireland is played. They still had the opportunity to get out on the lawn and walk around the arena, but they have also chosen not to use that opportunity. – The majority did not feel that we did not need to see the course. More people needed treatment, it was a longer journey, and a worse time. Those who wanted to be here have come here, but there were not many, says Sjøgren. He believes the need to feel the stadium and the facility is less now than before. – Many of those we have are used to playing in large arenas. Therefore, it is not as important now as it was in 2017 or even earlier for that matter. National team captain Maren Mjelde also did not feel any call to inspect the pitch. – For me, it’s one fat really. We all have different needs, and if the schedule had looked different, perhaps more people would have chosen to go here, says Mjelde. Norway opens the European Championship against Northern Ireland tomorrow. The match starts at 21.00.
