The straightforward Norwegian national team captain enters the debate on whether all re-offers mean that Sweden has lost strength ahead of the meeting in Oslo.
He’s tired of the excuses.
Several Swedish players have been forced to leave the collection due to injuries, including midfielders Alexander Milosevic, Joakim Nilsson and Carl Starfelt and winger Jesper Karlsson.
It does not give Solbakken much for.
– I think you complain too much about this, says Stålbakken and then starts blabbering on about which Swedish team he should take out.
Robin Olsen in goal, Ludvig Augustinsson and Emil Krafth as fullbacks.
– I would have liked to have had (Victor) Lindelöf as center back, but he is not here. But next to him, it’s even.
In midfield, Solbakken would have chosen Jens Cajuste, Emil Forsberg and Victor Claesson. On top Anthony Elanga, Dejan Kulusevki and Alexander Isak, he explains.
– I think everyone plays and then you have problems in one position, the Norwegian continues.
– You also have two brilliant coaches, a short trip here, great routine and have done very many championships. Stop making excuses! Now we play football and see who is the best.
Norway won the last meeting with Sweden in Solna on Sunday with 2-1 after two goals by superstar Erling Braut Haaland. Unlike his Swedish colleague, Solbakken has a completely injury-free squad ahead of the match, which is played on Sunday.
CORRECTED: An earlier version had an error. Jesper Karlström has not left the national team collection, it was Jesper Karlsson who was intended.
