In the last round of World Cup qualifiers held early this morning, Norway defeated Italy 4-1 in an away game and successfully qualified for next year's World Cup. The media revealed Norwegian coach Starr Solbakken’s speech to the team before the game.
This game will be held at the San Siro Stadium in Milan. As long as Norway does not lose to Italy by 9 goals in this game, it will definitely qualify for the World Cup.

Half of the people in the world will pay attention to us... So we must play well and give a wonderful game. I know this I won't let you be afraid."
Starr Solbakken continued: "We can't ruin our wonderful journey because some of you may be afraid... If that happens, I will go crazy. You have to play well and perform well from beginning to end. My only worry is that some of you may be afraid. There may be one or two players who cannot perform as well as they should..."
Starr Solbakken finally said: "It is normal to feel nervous in this situation, but each of you must take your own responsibility. We have experienced a perfect journey in the World Cup qualifying matches, and it must not be because of one or two people. Abnormal performance ruined it all. If it really happened, I would go crazy."
In the end, Norway defeated Italy 4-1 in the away game. In this World Cup qualifier, Norway won 8 consecutive games, scored 37 goals and only conceded 5 goals. It won the first place in the European Group I and successfully qualified for the 2026 World Cup. Norway qualified for the World Cup again after 28 years.
