Norway coach Stale Solbakken has urged his players to stick to their identity ahead of Friday’s FIFA World Cup quarterfinal against England. Playing in their first World Cup quarterfinal in 28 years,
Norway faces a formidable England side led by Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham. Solbakken stressed the need for disciplined defending while maintaining Norway’s attacking style.
Star striker Erling Haaland, who has scored seven goals in four matches, described the clash as “special” because he was born in England and will face several Manchester City teammates. Solbakken believes Norway can progress if his team performs at its best.
