See Austria vs. Norway on TV 2 and Sumo on Wednesday from 20:00.
Leif Gunnar Smerud, who is usually the coach of Norway’s Under-21 team, was able to present the emergency team facing Austria on Monday morning.
– We are used to working on short terms during the national soccer team. The most important thing is that the boys are positive, and they come not only to line up, but to do well, says Smerud at the press conference.
Top soccer coach on quarantine breach: – Has no consequences
Smerud says he primarily took the ring round on Sunday to assemble the new national team team.
Most of the players made themselves known through the press on Sunday.
General Secretary Pål Bjerketvedt says the players’ clubs have been cooperative and positive.
Entire troops: Per Kristian Bråtveit, Anders Kristiansen, Andreas Hanche-Olsen, Ruben Gabrielsen, Daniel Granli, Andreas Vindheim, Julian Ryerson, Jørgen Skjelvik, Tobias Børkeeiet, Kristoffer Askildsen, Fredrik Ulvestad, Kristian Thorstvedt, Sondre Trongenhaller, Hørjen Strahidarsen Lørjen Strahiden Latsen Matsen Matsen and Hørjen Strahidarsen Lørgen Matsen Veton Berisha.
– Not a sixth division gang.
During Monday, players will come to Gardermoen, where they will meet under strict infection control rules.
– We can also play soccer. We haven’t assembled a 6th division team. We are here to compete. We are looking forward, says Toulouse cap Ruben Gabrielsen to TV 2 upon arrival in Gardermoen.
– It is fun. We will be a good group, so we will keep going, says Mats Møller Dæhli on TV 2.
During Tuesday, the players travel to Vienna. Smerud said at the press conference that it is unclear whether the team will have time to train together.
That’s why Martin Ødegaard doesn’t play against Austria
– We see several players in this squad and the eleven who have a very good level inside. We are not without an opportunity. But we have gone from being the weakest to the great, says TV 2 soccer expert Jesper Mathisen.
– They have few opportunities to train together, but I think they will do well. Many have played together before. These are smart players.
In contact with several players
On the original team, three of the players have previously tested positive for the coronavirus, but none of them are part of Smerud’s new team.
Jens Petter Hauge was not relevant because his test was false positive, while Morten Thorsby had long held the crown. Martin Ødegaard has returned to Real Madrid after “an overall assessment”, said soccer manager Lise Klaveness at a press conference.
– We had a dialogue about Per-Egil Flo, Jo Inge Berget, Noah Holm and Ulrik Yttergård Jenssen. All of them are injured or disabled by the club. Tokmac Nguen, whom many have loved on the national team and have loved themselves, has the injury problem. We also had Håvard Nielsen, Thomas Rogne and a few others in the “question,” says acting director of the national team, Leif Gunnar Smerud.
Viking forward Veton Berisha is the only Elite Series player selected on the team. He had the coronavirus earlier this fall and will therefore be quarantined when he returns to Norway.
On Sunday, Norway would play away from Romania in the Nations League, but after Omar Elabdellaoui’s positive corona test, the entire team was quarantined and Norwegian health authorities refused to travel to Bucharest.
