What's your opinion on the game? Do you consider the outcome fair? “ I think we deserved to have won today because we were by far the best team.”
On what is it based to say that Norway was better than Portugal? “ We've had more goal opportunities and longer ball ownership. We were the best team on the field, but we couldn't score enough goals to win the match. That happens sometimes. We made a tremendous mistake right after we tied up, but I think we were clearly the best team.”
Do you feel Norway has to win the next two games out? “ Obviously, it will be even more complicated to win Wales and Portugal out.”
