news can learn that several players, among them big profiles, would withdraw from the national team if there were no changes. Several of the players would have been open to continuing under national team manager Hege Riise, but expected changes in both the form of communication from the coaching team and the football department. The dialogue between the players and Riise must have been troubled before her departure, and according to news’s information, several players must have been clear that they would leave the national team if the dialogue does not improve. EXPLAINED: Klaveness believed the resignation was due to different views on what is required from a national team role. Photo: Terje Pedersen / NTB – As I said, I do not comment on individual parts of the evaluation and conversations with the players, answers football president Lise Klaveness when news confronts her with the information about dialogue and communication. According to news’s information, Riise had to change the form of communication and restore faith in the project in the future, in order to keep the players. It didn’t turn out that way. On Friday, it became clear that Riise was done as national team manager. Riise was asked the following question by news on Friday. – Several sources inform news that your communication style was a problem for several of the players. Have you received feedback about it and how do you reflect on it afterwards? NEW JOB: The NFF stated that they would like to further use Riise’s experience and expertise in a new position as subject manager in the NFF Photo: Lise Åserud / NTB – I cannot, and do not wish to comment on any of that. It’s a bit like I said, the thing about openness and trust and that things should be taken internally, is something I stand for. Therefore, such speculations are difficult to answer, Riise replies. Nettavisen mentioned on Wednesday that several national team players considered their future on the Norwegian national team. Postponed evaluation news learned already during the WC that there was dissatisfaction with Riise and her team from several players. The players must have reacted to a lack of match management, unclear messages and receive concrete measures and feedback when plan A does not work. Initially, the evaluation was to have been presented to the media earlier this week, but only on Friday did the news come that Riise is stepping down from his position as national team manager for Norway. – I am a little relieved and also think it is heavy and boring. At the same time, it has been demanding over time. It’s fine as far as it goes, Riise told news. Now that the WC evaluation ended in changes to the coaching team, sources inform news that several players are open to continuing. Reacted to half-time talk Several episodes during the football World Cup are said to have caused reactions among the players. Sources inform news that the players called for tactical feedback during the break in the opening match against New Zealand. This was discussed in the dressing room, and Riise is said to have given the players feedback that they had to fight harder and stick to the plan. Then a high-profile player must have reacted to the lack of concrete feedback, and demanded an answer from the coaching team in plenary. The player asked clear questions to the coaching staff and called for more concrete tactical feedback than what they had already received. – Everything that happens in a dressing room, stays in a dressing room. We handle internal matters internally. It will also be difficult to deal with. We had this up in the WC as well. You won’t get another answer from me now, Riise responds to the incident. Norway ended up losing the opening match against New Zealand 1–0. Player was asked about stock market grade A player experienced that someone from the coaching staff informed her that she received a bad stock market grade in the media after a match, with questions about how it felt. This despite the fact that the players had been told to stay away from reading media during the championship. The player therefore did not know the stock market grade he had received in the match until the coach brought it up. The player, and others, must have reacted strongly to the incident. news has repeatedly tried to get a comment from the person concerned, without success. Gro Tvedt Anderssen, director of communications and public relations at the NFF, has been in contact with the person concerned. Anderssen answers the following about news’s information: COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR: Gro Tvedt Anderssen. Photo: Erik Flaaris Johansen / NTB – Taking a line with the use of anonymous sources gives neither readers nor those involved any opportunity to know whether the claims are false or true. It does not inspire confidence. The NFF does not comment on anonymous sources or internal conversations. Regardless of these claims, speculating about individuals in the media based on anonymous sources is destructive, both for the people you meet, the environment and the ability to have good transparency going forward. We cannot participate in that. In the WC’s first match against New Zealand in the group stage, Norway suffered a surprising 0-1 loss. After the match, news expert Bengt Eriksen describes that the team appeared paralyzed and terrified.

Now Norway had to win the last group stage match against the Philippines. news reveals dissatisfaction with Hege Riise in the WC squad. Several of the Norwegian players are said to have been very critical of the lack of match management, unclear messages, that it is too quiet in the dressing room and that there were too few concrete measures and feedback.

Hege Riise changes the formation before the decisive round of 16 against Japan. Norway lost 1-3 and Riise was again met with criticism. news expert Kristoffer Løkberg, among other things, missed previous offensive moves and described the loss as incomprehensible. Football president Lise Klaveness tells TV 2 that the national team is in the process of evaluating the WC. This will consist of a questionnaire for all the players and several one-to-one conversations with key players. The Norwegian Football Association announces that the press conference in connection with the World Cup evaluation will be postponed. This happens nine hours after they originally called for a press conference. The reason was, among other things, that the association needed more time. The Norwegian Football Association confirms that Hege Riise has finished as manager of the Norwegian national team. – Through this evaluation work and in conversations with Hege Riise, we see that we have different views on the role of national team manager for this team in the further work, says football president Lise Klaveness in a press release.
