Manchester City forward Erling Haaland hilariously mocked Norwegian skipper Martin Odegaard, while on international duty for the upcoming matches. The 24-year-old forward has been named the captain for the national team, in the Arsenal star’s absence due to an injury.
Martin Odegaard suffered an injury while on international duty with Norway, last month, and is expected to be out for the next few months. He has suffered an ankle ligament injury, and faces a significant spell on the sidelines for both club and country. In the Norwegian skipper’s absence, star forward Erling Haaland has been handed the captain’s armband for the national team’s upcoming matches against Slovenia and Austria in the UEFA Nations League.
Taking a dig at an injured Arsenal star, Haaland shared a video of a phone call with the Arsenal star, where he seemed to jokingly ask him whether the Gunners would ever win the UEFA Champions League title. Moreover, he later spoke to reporters about his new role as well as on Odegaard’s absence. He exclaimed that the team would miss their captain, highlighting his amazing nature as well as his brilliant footballing skills. He added that the team would try to succeed without their skipper.

Meanwhile, Haaland, himself is just short of breaking the Norwegian highest goal-scoring record. He is a goal behind former Norwegian forward Jorgen Juve, who has 33 goals from 45 matches. The record has remained untouched in the last 90 years.

He also added that such things are quite common on the football pitch, and he does not regret any of the things that he had done.

It was in the heat of the match and a bit of everything happened in that match. What happens on the football pitch, happens on the football pitch. That’s the way it is. I don’t regret anything in life.
