Will Norway go to the World Cup?

This poll does not show what the population thinks about the question. The results show what those who have chosen to vote think, and the poll does not have a sample that makes it representative of everyone living in the country.

Østigård will probably be demolished

Therefore, everything indicates that Leo Østigård (25) will be dropped from the central defense in the very decisive match against Italy.

Østigård, who has played 29 times for Norway, has had a tough season at Hoffenheim, where he has had to endure some criticism for his performances in recent months.

Instead, Ståle Solbakken seems to be choosing inexperienced Torbjørn Heggem (26) in central defense, even though the West Bromwich stopper only has five international caps.

At the press conference on Wednesday, the teasing of Heggem and Ajer became a topic. Solbakken then responded briefly:

– We train a little differently. Torbjørn was trained, but so were 14-15 others, said the national team manager.

– I didn’t expect this

NRK expert Kristoffer Løkberg follows the national team closely, he is surprised that Solbakken probably does as well as he does in central defense.

– I didn’t think so. I thought he would play it safe in Østigård, the one who has the most experience and played the most under Ståle. Leo also knows the way he plays defense. But he clearly hasn’t been convinced by Østigård, while Heggem must have been convinced in the last meetings he’s been involved in.

POSITIVE: Kristoffer Løkberg thinks the eleventh option looks reasonable.

– Same eleven two training sessions in a row. How confident are you that this is the team?

– I’m still unsure who will start, but Heggem played a good game against Israel. He’s a really nice guy. I get along well with him. But Leo, Jostein (Gundersen) and Colin (Rösler) have also played incredibly well for a long, long time, says Ajer.

Torbjørn Heggem answers questions from NRK about why Solbakken should choose him against Italy:

– It’s up to him. What I can do is show my best side in training. Show that I’m in shape, and show that he can trust me in that match, Heggem tells NRK.

– The only right thing

Løkberg believes it would be a sensible choice to go for Ajer together with Heggem against Italy.

– This is the best Norwegian eleven to date. The big question has been who would be Ajer’s stopping partner, but I think it is right to choose Heggem, who came off a very good season at West Bromwich, versus Østigård, who has varied more in his performances, says Løkberg.

– From the training, it seems like he’s giving Nusa a chance from the start, despite little playing time lately. What do you think of that choice?

– It’s the only right thing to do now that Nusa has returned to the count’s time. I imagine a Nusa who can cause trouble for Italy in the first hour, but when he gets tired we have alternatives. But that Nusa will start for Norway when he is injury-free and ready to fight, that goes without saying, he believes.
