“And wait, Carlo Ancelotti, we are coming for you.” This was Ståle Solbakken’s end of the speech to his own players in the dressing room after the victory against the Ivory Coast. This was met with wild cheers from the Norwegian players, and we could hear from the atmosphere that Norway goes into this match with full faith that Brazil’s history as a football nation will not save them from defeat on Sunday. We understand that the Brazilians have also been frightened by the Norwegian game, and not least the Viking monster at the top.
In a few days, we will go up to the round of 8 against Brazil, the most winning national team in World Cup history with 5 titles. Erling Haaland posted a picture of himself, smiling in a Norwegian shirt and Viking helmet after his victory in the round of 16 on social media, as a celebration and a clear warning to the Brazilian players. A Brazilian Real Madrid star, who is not involved due to injury, heard the message and responded.

“You’ve worked so hard, maybe take a break on Sunday?”, Rodrygo commented on Haaland’s post.
You wish.
Erling Haaland has 5 World Cup goals. And wait, Carlo Ancelotti, he is coming for mor!.
