– He is Norway’s best dribbler, stated news expert Carl-Erik Torp. Bobb was the big player on the field when Norway took a typical 2-0 victory at home against the Faroe Islands in Thursday’s private international match after what was one good and one less good half by the Norwegian players. – The future looks bright The big holding was Oscar Bobb. In just his third international match, he recorded both goals and points and thus bounced back strongly after a weak game when he was thrown to the wolves against Spain last time. – A future star, Manchester City wrote on the club’s official Twitter account to its 17 million followers on Thursday evening. It is clear that the big club follows its Norwegian profiles. BRIGHT FUTURE? These two can at least count on having a central role in what Norway will achieve in the future. Photo: Vegard Grøtt / BILDBYRÅN Bobb, who has been nicknamed “Oski” by Haaland and the other Norway players, showed again what a super talent Norway has produced in the young City winger. – There is no shortage of jewels, the future looks bright. Oscar Bobb follows up where Antonio Nusa began earlier this autumn, said TV 2’s Øyvind Alsaker about Bobb’s rampages against the Faroe Islands. “No look shot”: – Everyone was surprised The replays of Norway’s 2-0 scoring made the commentators grin. It showed that Bobb was looking a completely different way than towards the goal when the shot was fired. You have previously heard of “no look pass”, this was a “no look shot”, pointed out TV 2’s commentary team Øyvind Alsaker and Jesper Mathisen. – Everyone was surprised. It came out of nowhere, that finish, said Jesper Mathisen on TV 2. – You score goals like this on the fly when you’re going to mess with your friends, says Carl-Erik Torp about the unusual scoring. See the score here: Bobb was allowed to play the first hour before he was allowed to save energy before Sunday’s meeting with Scotland, but there, news expert Løkberg believes that Bobb should be given more time to show off. – The place is also yours against Scotland, said Løkberg as Bobb left the pitch in the second half. Scoring after two minutes As for the match itself, it only took two and a half minutes for Norway to take the lead. Norway first got a corner when the Faroe Islands goalkeeper brilliantly saved a good attempt from Aron Dønnum, and on the subsequent corner kick it became dangerous. A short variation by Oscar Bobb led to the City player getting the ball back and pulling nicely free before playing on to Jørgen Strand Larsen, who clinically put the ball into the net from close range. Norway thus secured a dream start to the match. – Strand Larsen stands there like a striker should and just extends the ball into the goal. It is well rehearsed from my former assistant coach at Viking, Pål Fjelde. He is responsible for set pieces in the national team. He is delighted now, commented news expert and Viking player Kristoffer Løkberg. CAPTAIN: Erling Braut Haaland got to wear the captain’s armband in the second half in Martin Ødegaard’s absence. Photo: Cornelius Poppe / NTB – Simply world class Norway had a good opportunity to increase the lead when debutant David Møller Wolfe found the same Strand Larsen with a beautiful cross after ten minutes, but goalkeeper Bardur Reynatrod saved well. After 25 minutes, Norway increased the lead, and again Bobb was involved. The City technician received the ball on the right, moved towards the center and hammered home 2-0 with a shot from 20 meters which went over the post and in. – What Oscar Bobb does there is simply world class. He turns up and pulls himself inside. That finish there: rap with the left foot, right inside the root of the post. It is fantastically done, commented Løkberg on news Sport. Thus it was 2-0 when the teams went to the break. After the break, Solbakken made four changes, including Erling Braut Haaland being replaced by a good Jørgen Strand Larsen. Jærbuen was captain for the occasion in Martin Ødegaard’s injury absence, but struggled to make his mark on the match in one half, Norway dropped several notches in terms of play. Haaland strike In the 86th minute, Haaland came close to scoring when he was played free in front of goal by Mohamed Elyounoussi, but the striker was just too late and slipped the ball straight wide. Haaland, who is chasing Jørgen Juve’s goal record, is thus left with 27 goals in 29 international matches. Worse is that Haaland suffered a slight twist as he lunged forward to reach the ball. – He looks completely crushed here, said Alsaker on TV 2. – Unfortunately, it looks as if he is tightening the knobs, said Løkberg. But luckily for Norway, Haaland ran out onto the field again after a few minutes of treatment, which is a good sign for everyone who wants to see more of the striker in the future.
