– It’s embarrassing and embarrassing, said Sander Berge when he was the first of the players to stand up for an interview on TV2’s live broadcast after Norway was outclassed 5-1 by Austria. Eventually, several of the Norwegian players appeared to answer critical questions from both the TV rights holder and other media. However, the captain of the schooner did not.

We would very much like to hear from him in such a situation. Yes, it’s fun with a scoring record and everything that happened on Thursday, then he should be praised for showing up. But it is so interesting to hear his assessments and thoughts when things go badly. It is in adversity that you want answers from those involved, so it is not good that he does not answer the questions we have, says Løkberg. – He is the captain. Does he have an extra responsibility to stand up then? – The captain is often the one who receives huge praise and stands as a shining example when things are going well.. Then you have an additional responsibility to stand up for the media, it is part of that role, Løkberg believes. – You stood in the mixed zone yourself and saw Haaland go straight past. What did you think then? – I was pretty sure he was going to run. Many others stood up, and then he perhaps felt that they spoke for him. But after being so good in the press conference before the Austria game last time and after the match against Slovenia, I had hoped that he would turn up today. I can give enormous credit to David Møller Wolfe, who straight-facedly answered questions after having his worst international game. It must have been tough, but very important for everyone around you to give so much in the face of adversity. It builds team and respect for the whole group. Sander Berge will not criticize the captain’s choice. – I don’t think anything of that. I was just told to go here now, so yes. That’s what I’ve done in the past. Players do what they want, we’re done with this. Now it’s just a matter of getting back to club life, he says to news. Solbakken: – Not what I work on the most While Haaland was in the shower, national team manager Ståle Solbakken was asked at the press conference whether Haaland would appear for the media. – That’s not what I work on the most, Solbakken replied. – Do you think he should? asked news then. – Hasn’t he been quite active in the press area this week. It’s the first loss, so we’ll see, said Solbakken. On Thursday, Haaland took plenty of time to talk to the media, after Norway beat Slovenia 3-0 at Ullevaal. In that match, he scored two goals and became historically the top scorer of all time in the Norwegian men’s national football team. In Sunday’s match in Lienz, the record holder was considerably less prominent. Published 13.10.2024, at 23.53 Updated 13.10.2024, at 23.55
