Erling Haaland discusses Norway's victory

Hi, Erling. Uh, congratulations for, uh, for sure.

Can you tell us about how important these two goals are for Norway football,

and how you feel after this brace? Thank you very much.

Yeah, first of all, how I feel, it's, it's quite--

I feel quite good after scoring

two goals against Brazil and winning two-one against them,

first of all.

Uh, how much it means for Norway, I think, uh,

I've said it before now, but I think we, we are changing the nations.

First of all, I said that we, we've been growing balls now over time,

uh, on

playing football and all these kind of things.

And, uh,

I think, uh, the way we played today

shows that

Norway is, is a fantastic football team, and that we--

we're actually one of the better teams in teams in Europe and in the

world, because, uh,

what we've been doing is, is amazing, and it took twenty-eight years.

It took some time. Uh, I'm twenty-five years old, so,

uh, you can't really blame me for that.

Um, you can blame me for, for coming here, but, uh,

but yeah, I mean, it's, it's unbelievable, and I'm, I'm, I'm proud.

I'm proud of, of my country, and I'm,

I'm proud of everyone.

Is it the best feeling of

all?

Erling, uh, when you-- when the final whistle blew, we saw a lot

of emotions going through your face.

Can you describe what was going through your mind in

that moment and how you're

feeling?

Yeah, I, I couldn't quite believe it because I,

I didn't dream of this ever

in my life. Uh, I dreamed, dreamt of playing in the World Cup with,

with Norway and taking them to, to the World Cup,

but I never expected to win against

Brazil, let's be honest and say that.

So

again, I, I mean, um,

I thought it was not possible to do some things, but

I guess I'm wrong.

Yeah.

Hi, Erling. Hi, how are you? So it's been twenty-eight

years. You know, what you just did is remarkable.

Uh, just give me your thoughts on the meaning

of the win today and just, you

know,

everyone looks at you as the present and future of the game.

Just how much does that mean to you and the win today?

First of all, it's incredible to win.

I mean, I've said it now again and again.

I, I never dreamt of this.

And, uh,

I'm-- I mean, it's a bit, uh, surrealistic to, to

be in the moment, to be with, uh, with the biggest players, uh, in the

World Cup. Uh, of course, as a football player,

you want to be in the World Cup and

you want to,

to perform. But to,

let's be honest, to score seven goals for Norway

in the World Cup is quite, it's quite special.

So, um, it's, it's unreal, and I, I don't have words.

It's difficult to put words in

what I'm feeling, what I'm

doing, you know, because it's, it is unreal.

And, uh,

I need to pinch myself sometimes in the arm because, uh,

'cause it's,

it's, uh, it's, it's big, you know?

All right. Thank you.

Thank you, guys.

Thank you.
