Solskjær says so in an exclusive interview with news’s new football podcast “Backroom”, which can be heard in the news Radio app on Monday morning. After Norway suffered a horrible 1-5 loss against Austria, with Haaland as captain, the star striker passed straight through the press zone. That made the experts frown. news’s football expert Kristoffer Løkberg was very critical. Former national team captains supported the criticism, and national team manager Ståle Solbakken said afterwards that he “understands the discussion”. Ole Gunnar Solskjær, who himself trained Haaland in Molde, is aware that the 24-year-old will have to make changes for next time. – It is as Løkberg says: Take the next responsibility as well. I expect Erling to be able to do that, says Solskjær before we immediately start a new national team meeting. FORMER STUDENT: Ole Gunnar Solskjær trained Erling Braut Haaland in Molde.

There he talks to Åge Hareide, Kristoffer Løkberg, Andrine Hegerberg and Emil Gukild. – As captain, you have to. Whether Haaland can do it or not, we will probably get the answer during the national team meeting next week. Martin Ødegaard is usually captain, but Norway’s midfield general has been out with an injury since September. He has not yet been selected for this week’s matches, and now he may have to hand over the captain’s armband to vice-captain Haaland again. – Martin Ødegaard sets up loss, win, draw, sun or rain. As a captain, you have to. You just have to do it. That’s how it is when you’re a coach and you’re 3-0 down. Then you don’t go and sit down on the bench. You just have to stand there, unfortunately. You just have to stand there until the match is over, says Solskjær. CAPTAIN: Erling Braut Haaland wore the captain’s armband at the last national team meeting in October. Photo: Fredrik Varfjell / NTB – What do you think of him as captain for Norway? – He has the personality for it, says Solskjær. But now he expects that Haaland has learned from the mistake for the upcoming collection. – It’s learning for him, too. It is the first time he has been captain, and such a 1-5 loss. It’s a bit like that in affect, maybe, and then I think that next time I think he’ll probably stand up. The national team manager agrees with Solskjær Haaland’s passage through the press zone after Austria naturally became a topic when Ståle Solbakken selected the national team squad for the matches Slovenia and Kazakhstan. When Martin Ødegaard was absent from the squad, questions about Haaland arose, and Solbakken replied that they should resolve that situation. – What do you mean by that? – He will line up whether he is captain or not, which he has done fantastically over a long period of time. He was a very good captain last time. I think he has never stood up for the media as much as the last gathering, says Solbakken. – He stands up, and he did that throughout the last meeting. More than he has done for a long time, and you have to realize that it was not only negative, continues the national team manager.

What do you think about it? – That is what we have said: we have had that discussion and we will resolve it. – Do you agree with Solskjær? – Yes, we already said that the next day when we met you at Gardermoen, asserts Solbakken.
