“Erling and Ødda, which they call each other might have been the two best players this season [in premier league] . Haaland with 25 goals and 4 assists and Ødegaard with 8 goals and 5 assists.
Erling spoke about his friend in the clock podcast where states;
‘It’s amazing to watch Martin succeed as much as he has in Arsenal. He’s found the perfect fit with this club and it allows him to utilize /show off his best qualities. It’s amazing for us Norwegians to see it and it’s special and cool in my eyes since we also play together. The fact that we are rivals and compete against each other this year also adds onto the coolness.’
The two Norwegian superstars will probably be very important in the match which could end up being essential in the title race for Premier League. However regardless of the outcome it’ll take a lot more than this to affect the two’s friendship.
Erling continues;
‘I’m good friends with Martin. He’s an amazing guy and I wish him all the success he can have. It’s incredible when Norwegians do so well and I hope there’ll be more of us going forward who gets to want to follow us.’
The podcast hosts asks;
‘Do you text or snap after a match?’
He responds;
‘Yes, we mess with each other a lot. We talk pretty much every day and it’s very cool. Obviously it’s making me very proud as a Norwegian.’
Taken from a news bureau we have a statement from Ødegaard regarding his relationship with Erling.
‘We’ve spoken a lot with each other, but not about this match. It’s an important match between two teams that have a lot of history with each other. ~ I’m not surprised over what Erling has achieved. I’ve followed his journey for many years and I know he’s an amazing player and incredible striker.’
The trainer for the Norwegian national team is very pleased that his captain and vice captain get along well, he states;
‘It probably comes down to them spending a lot of time together and being close in age. They been in touch a lot over a long period of time so it’s come very natural to them. In addition they live in a world not many can relate to so it might be good for them to be able to talk to each other about it.’”
That’s the highlights pretty much, the rest is more filler about the premier league at that time. It’s probably a bit awkwardly translated in parts it’s a bit difficult to translate certain things without changing the meaning too much.
