🚨 Erling Haaland refuses to throw Sørloth under the bus after Norway's defeat to England. 🇳🇴

🗣️ Erling Haaland:

Alexander Sørloth is a great player and, more importantly, a very good friend of mine. Football is a game of decisions, and sometimes you make the right one, sometimes you don't.

People watching from home have time to slow everything down and analyse every angle, but on the pitch you have a split second to make a decision. That's football.

I'll never blame him for that moment because we've all been in those situations. Every player has made a decision they wish they could take back.

I'm proud of what we've achieved as a team. Reaching the World Cup quarter-finals was something very few people believed we could do before the tournament started.

We gave our country something to be proud of. We fought for every badge, every shirt and every supporter who believed in us.

Losing to England wasn't because of one pass or one missed opportunity. We created chances throughout the game. We had moments where we could have scored, and they had moments where they punished us.

That's football. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but you never point fingers at one teammate. We win together, and we lose together.

I'll always stand by Alexander, just as I know he'd stand by me. That's what being teammates is all about.

We leave this tournament disappointed, but also proud. This is only the beginning for Norway, and we'll come back stronger.
