Haaland explodes: “I'm in a bad mood”

Erling Haaland's Norway stays out of the European Championship after the 1-2 loss to Serbia, a reality that has not sat too well with a boy accustomed to achieving what he sets out to do. For this reason, the young Borussia Dortmund striker did not hesitate to express his feelings after the umpteenth failed qualification for a European Championship (the last time Norway participated in one was in 2000) and exploded before the cameras, hinting that he was not at all satisfied with the performance of his teammates.

“I didn't feel involved in my team's game“were the words of the fashion forward of the continent.” I am very angry. We just weren't good enough. It is a tremendous disappointment. We had a good chance to qualify for the Eurocup“, he stressed during his appearance on the Norwegian channel TV2. The madridista Martin Ödegaard Nor did he hide his frustration and added: “It's a pretty hard blow. We couldn't be more prepared for the game, but too many players didn't have their best day“.

For the Norwegian coach Lars Lagerbäck it could have been one of his last games at the helm. The criticism after the blow suffered in the playoffs focused on the 72-year-old veteran coach, who would not hesitate to accept the consequences of failure. “I don't have any kind of problem when it comes to taking a step to the side if that's what those above want“said Lagerbäck. Of course, first he wants to close the national team break with” two victories “in the Nations League against Romania and Northern Ireland. Two games that will not serve as consolation to Haaland
