In the European qualifiers of the World Cup, Norway defeated Italy 3-0 at home. Norwegian striker Haaland was interviewed after the game.

How do you feel about the victory in this game?

Feels great! There is really nothing to complain about today.

Norwegian national team is now more confident than ever

We scored three Italian goals in the first half by counterattacking. It's really crazy, it's a historic day.

Is this the most exciting national team game you have ever played?

In general, yes, there is no doubt. The match against Sweden a few years ago was great, and I wouldn't deny that. But this time it's the World Cup qualifier.

What does it mean to you to participate in the World Cup with Norway?

is of great significance. This is what I lack in my football career, and only in the World Cup can I say I have done most of the work. I'm not arrogant.

So do you think Norway must enter the World Cup?

We are too good to miss the World Cup. I will participate in the World Cup and the European Cup, not to put pressure on myself, but I can definitely do it.
