‘Belief and Focus’ Fueled Haaland as Norway Shocked Brazil
Erling Haaland says Norway’s stunning win over Brazil in the World Cup round of 16 owed as much to belief as finishing. The Manchester City striker scored twice to send the five-time champions packing and secure Norway’s first quarter-final appearance. “It usually ends up as a goal when I get a chance,” Haaland told FIFA. “It’s all about staying focused. I tell myself the chance will come, and then I know right away if I don’t score.” He also urged young fans to cherish national-team duty. “I hope when you get older, you’ll see playing for Norway as the proudest thing you’ll ever do,” he said. The victory has given Norway real momentum and rewritten their World Cup story.
