Berg 'can't imagine' pressure Norway teammate Haaland lives with

Bodo/Glimt midfielder Patrick Berg can't imagine the pressure Norway teammate Erling Haaland feels.

Berg is with the Manchester City star this week as part of Norway's squad.

He told TV2: "It's a completely different world. I can't even imagine what it must be like.

"I can walk around Oslo. I know he can't with all the hysteria around him. Just the fact that you never get peace. It must be really demanding for many. That is perhaps the biggest challenge for him.

"I think he handles it really well. I don't think many people think about how demanding it is to be in such a situation, so you should have respect for that.

"We have not had someone like him in Norway before, so it is a bit difficult to know how the Norwegian people will handle it and how Haaland himself will handle it.

"But for now, I think he is the same person he has always been. He is hungry and he will contribute to our development as a team."
