00:11It's a special game, yeah definitely I think for me it's super special because I
00:28play in England and I'm born in England and yeah you also play against teammates and everything so
00:35it's a bit it's not weird but it's I don't know the the name in English
00:45really low still so yeah I think there's some clear favourites out there England's one of them so
00:54I think all of you should put every single pressure on the English lads.
01:03Oof, I enjoy so much things first of all to just be able to play in the World Cup is
01:14for me
01:14a huge honour and it was a huge goal for me in my career so to be able to be
01:20here and play on the
01:23biggest stage with my Norwegian friends against the best teams in the world is really special so
01:28I think for me if I have to take one thing it's kind of you know when I played against
01:33Iraq the
01:34first game was just to look around you in the stadium and just kind of it's difficult to take
01:40everything in because you need to kind of just play the game like it's a like it's a training session
01:45that's what I try to do so it's difficult to take everything in but you also kind of need to
01:50and
01:50when it's the World Cup.
01:54in the world you think that maybe there's a key to be where you are now and the other thing
02:05is real now for you?
02:08If it's what sorry?
02:09If it's real?
02:10You say two days ago that this isn't real for you but now it is real?
02:17I mean it's important to joke around I think. I think every one of you kind of know me now
02:24that I like to joke a little bit and I like to have fun so I think that's the key
02:28to for my daily life to joke around and of course train good, of course focus well and prepare well
02:37but you also need to joke around and you need to enjoy the moment and that's what we've been doing
02:42now and just as we play in the world.
02:46We just have to enjoy it because nothing lasts forever and we have to just enjoy while we're here.
02:55A lot of Americans have gotten to learn more about you in the last couple of weeks, they've become big
02:59fans, what does that mean to you to people around the world to learn who you are and what you're
03:05all about?
03:06I think it's a good thing because I like the Americans, I think they are kind of hilarious as well
03:14and they are funny so I like the way they are so I think it's just good and it's been
03:21honestly on every single thing with the World Cup so far here has been amazing.
03:27From the games to the stadiums to everything has been amazing, training ground or where we train has been amazing
03:37so I'm super happy and it's been impressive.
03:40Thank you very much.
03:41Thank you guys.
04:03Hey guys, I'm sorry, please keep it down.
04:04Hey guys.
04:20Yes.
04:28Yes.
04:31Thanks.
04:34Yes.
04:34Yes.
04:58I would prefer Erling all day long, what he's done for us and what he's showing
05:03week in, week out is amazing, so we're super happy to have him.
05:20They're a really hard-working team, so it's a difficult place to go, playing away in Mexico,
05:30all the fans against you, but they showed real character winning that game and yeah, they
05:37really impressed.
05:38And if you could ask what the mood is inside the team after that victory against Brazil,
05:43it's like you're in heaven right now, just how do you open your eyes after you sleep?
05:51No, it was an amazing feeling, so we're all super happy, enjoying playing music, dancing,
05:59so yeah, it was a really euphoric moment for us and now we've come down to the ground again
06:05and ready to focus again on Saturday.
06:08I'm from Brazil, so I'd like to ask you what has changed in your life after being in Brazil?
06:14What has changed in my life?
06:19What has changed?
06:20I can say that I'm in the quarter-final in the World Cup, other than that, not much.
06:28We're of course super happy to be where we are and really proud that we managed to beat
06:34Brazil, a great Brazilian team, so yeah, that's all I can say.
06:39The perspective inside the group, how has changed from a month ago to right now?
06:44I wouldn't say it has changed that much, we've always had a big belief in ourselves,
06:50we knew that on our day we can beat any team, so the last year or so we really showed
06:59that
06:59we are a top quality team and yeah, we go into every match thinking that we can win every game.
07:07Do you beat Brazil already in the next stages in England and then it may be in Argentina?
07:16Do you dream to play against some particular players in this world?
07:20No, not really, I wouldn't say there's any special players, we're really focusing on game-by-game and
07:28taking it as it comes, so yeah, we just see what happens but we go into every game trying to
07:35win.
07:39I want to ask you about, I don't know if you have a lot of time to watch another matches,
07:45and what do you prefer or what do you think about the other selection, the other national team?
07:51I don't know, what I've seen so far is that every team are playing good, that it's whoever opponent you
07:58play,
08:00it's going to be a tough match. I think in the group stages what I saw was that many of
08:09the games that you thought
08:10maybe were going to be easy for one team were more close than what you would think before the game,
08:17so many teams have showed a good impression and yeah, for example,
08:25Cup World against Argentina was a surprise, so yeah, it's a close World Cup.
08:47I haven't really noticed any change for me, he's always had that winning mindset.
08:52He's a top, top player that I've played with for some years now and I've seen his quality
08:58is always amazing on the pitch but also for us outside the pitch as well, a great leader,
09:06leading by example always and yeah, a player that young players can look up to.
09:16Most English fans might remember your dad playing in England, have you spoken to him a bit about his time
09:21playing in England
09:22and is he giving you any advice about what it's like to take on England as well?
09:27Yeah, of course, I've spoken to him many times about how I was playing in England and yeah,
09:34he had a great period over there but he hasn't given me any particular tips on how it is to
09:41play against England
09:42but yeah, we've spoken a bit.
09:45Last question.
09:47So thank you, thank you.
09:49You do have a man in your team that's going for the golden booth but as one of everyone seeing
09:54the funny side of Vernon,
09:56he's a fierce competitor.
09:57He talks so much about younger and the other elements of the game to bring calm to his mind to
10:04perform at the level.
10:06How much is that helpful for all of you to learn from him taking that time out and then becoming
10:12a beast on the field?
10:13I know you're all professionals and you all kind of cherry-pitching each other but is he helping you understand
10:18what this madness is like?
10:20Because it follows him everywhere.
10:22Nah, I think...
