Solbakken: Norway failed to make most of Man City striker Haaland

Norway coach Stale Solbakken regrets not making the most of Manchester City striker Erling Haaland during their Euros qualifying campaign.

Norway missed qualifying for next summer's Euros.

Solbakken reflected on TV 2: "We must make better use of Erling in the transition phases. Against Spain, he could have received the ball twice and then been alone with the goalkeeper.

"We have to make sure that happens.

"We allow few chances against us, but still it is a bit of a disturbance that we do not like to suffer. In a qualification with so few games, we must enjoy the suffering. To like and defend in periods when the opponent is good. We have to work on that."
