Football World Cup: Dissatisfied with hotel: Norwegians move before quarter-finals

The news portal “VG” reported that the original accommodation was surrounded by a large construction site and a busy road. Coach Stale Solbakken was quoted as saying that there were “too many little things overall”. Among other things, the team wanted to have a common lounge and meeting room. “It’s not that you can’t live there, but we should be a team, stick together and form a unit,” Solbakken said.

Meanwhile, Solbakken moderated rumors about an alleged wave of illness in the Norwegian team. All players are currently available. There are isolated cases of illness among the supervisory staff. But the reports from various English media were exaggerated, he said.
