Odegaard: “Haaland at Madrid? I ask him sometimes …”

Martin Odegaard and Erling Haaland share spotlights these days in Marbella. The pair are concentrating on their national team to prepare for the friendly matches against Luxembourg and Greece on Wednesday and Sunday respectively. The complicity between young people can be observed through the multiple publications on social networks in which they appear together, something usual, and, therefore, when it comes to attending the press, questions about the possible common future in Madrid cannot be absent. However, Martin, despite having spent the second half of the season on loan at Arsenal, wanted to remember that he is a “Real Madrid player”.

“Would you like to play with Haaland at Real Madrid?”, they asked him at the post-training press conference, to which Odegaard replied: “Of course. I ask him about it sometimes, but he doesn't say too much about his future. At least, nothing that he's going to share with you here.”. The Dortmund forward is the white desire for the 2022 market, since the 2021 effort corresponds to Kylian Mbappé, although if the PSG player moves away they could advance the bet on the Paseo de la Castellana …

Although that was not the only Real Madrid key issue that the midfielder had to face. The journalist Arilas Ould-Saada, from the Norwegian medium 'VG', wanted to know his opinion on the farewell letter that Zidane he wanted to share exclusively through Diario AS. In this case, Odegaard decided to haggle in his answer: “I've seen her. Those are her opinions and her words. I don't want to comment on it, it's her own experience.”. Previously, God thanked the Marseillais, but wanted to emphasize that “it is not ideal” to change so much equipment and that what he is looking for is “stability”.

Odegaard accepts Haaland's challenge

The one who spoke the day before was Haaland, who in addition to explaining a secret related to his physique, expressed that both he and Odegaard should assume the leadership of the team, a glove that the Madridista has picked up. “We have to step forward, yes. Bring out the best in everyone (…). We were not at the level we should have been last time. I accept the challenge”. Now, the couple must focus their efforts on qualifying for the next World Cup of 2022, after having stayed at the gates of this European Championship …

What's more, He recalled in the previous concentration he played weighed down by an ankle injury: “I knew I was in pain and that I was not 100%.” That decline in his level was accompanied by some criticism, something that, as he adds, does not “matter to him, there are many things that are not seen and that people do not understand.” In fact, he felt “pain for a time.”
