Norway international Sander Berge, who plays for Fulham, has heaped praise on his teammate Erling Haaland. Berge emphasized that Haaland is efficient and lethal to opponents, capable of breaking through at any moment and scoring goals, always deciding matches and ready for any challenge.

Interestingly, Berge also revealed Haaland's personality off the pitch – he is the most relaxed of all, and before the referee's first whistle, you would never guess a match is about to start. But when the game begins, Haaland shows hunger and becomes a 'beast'.

Coach Ståle Solbakken stated before the World Cup that Haaland is the best goal scorer in the world. Haaland himself responded that he considers himself one of the best, but noted that this season other players like Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappé have scored more, so statistically he is not the best.

However, Haaland's achievements with the Norwegian national team are impressive – 57 goals in 51 appearances. Norway's upcoming matches include games against Iraq, France, and Senegal.
