Odegaard on ‘Massive Result’ against City | Video | News

Martin Odegaard was all smiling to the last flute of Sunday’s sensational victory over Manchester City.

It was our captain who made the ball roll where he scored in the second minute when our aggressive start paid off. But it was the other half when we really clicked into gears and the net four more after City had briefly drawn the level.

“Yes, it was good,” he said afterwards. “A massive performance, massive result and the atmosphere were incredible. Such a nice game to play in with the supporters on fire, a big result in the end.

“I think it’s a big boost, but to be honest, faith and everything was there even before the game. Of course, a great result helps and gives energy and faith to everyone. It was already there, but this is another extra lift hopefully.

“It was good to get the early goal, and we were so good in the high press, we won a few balls there, scored a goal after that and should have scored another. So it was a good start. “

Odegaard also praised the way the team fought back after Erling Haaland’s equalization – with an immediate response from Thomas Partey.

“After their goal, the way we reacted was brilliantly,” he said. “Immediately we go and we are on the front foot, scored immediately and then we did not stop. The way we played and the way we ended the game was amazing. “

The third goal was also a particularly special moment when Academy Product Myles Lewis-Skelly scored its first senior goal. Moments later his close friend Ethan Nwaneri also entered the action.

When he talked about Myles, Odegaard said, “I’m really, really happy for him. You can see he is a great personality, comes on the ball, makes things happen, from the left back to do what he does with and without the ball at his age, incredible. Ethan, who also moves on, with the effect right away, two good players we have there! “
