Norwegian talent Martin Ödegaard plays everyday in Spanish Real Sociedad - just like the Swedish talent Alexander Isak, who made two hits against the Faroe Islands on Thursday. At today's press conference, Ödegaard says that he has had contact with the club mate.
- We wrote a little yesterday and I wrote among other things that I hope he does not play, jokes Ödegaard.
- We didn't really write anything special but I congratulated him for his two goals and he congratulated me for the victory.
The Norwegian Confederation Captain Lars Lagerbäck is also impressed by the 19-year-old Swede.
- He has done amazingly well. Already during the AIK era I saw that he had talent and it became a pretty good player, you can say. The development is there, says Lagerbäck.
Although it was 3-3 the last time Sweden and Norway met, Ödegaard admits that Sweden is a big brother in football. However, something he wants to change.
- We have been a little brother for a long time now and there is going to be a change in it so we can start tomorrow.
Ödegaard is looking forward to playing in front of over 40,000 spectators at Friends Arena tomorrow.
- It gets really special. A great match and cool to play against a teammate.
