The newspaper writes that Ødegaard appeared as a playmaker while his strength lasted, but was invisible after the break. Ødegaard was replaced in the 67th minute.

National team assistant Per Joar Hansen does not completely agree with that assessment.

– It had no optimal load. He’s been mildly ill in the past week and has struggled with a jumper’s knee injury in the run-up. Real Sociedad is low and difficult to face. Depending on the conditions, Martin can be satisfied, Hansen explains to Dagbladet.

– It is incredibly important for Norwegian football that he can start in the Real Madrid tier. I don’t know if people in Norway understand how big it is, it’s just looking at the names around it, he continues.

– A very special match for me, against good friends. It felt good to play, but today we lacked victory, Ødegaard summed up in an interview shown on Strive.

– Were you surprised that I had to start?

– No, he has played games again, replies Lagerbäck’s assistant.

The Spanish newspaper Marca disagrees, writing that it was a surprising choice for Zinedine Zidane to include Ødegaard in the starting eleven.

– How do you assess your chances of keeping your position on the team?

– I think the chances are good. When you train more and become more familiar with your teammates and their style of play, it will only get better, Hansen says.
