挪威队战胜意大利队锁定世界杯资格，厄德高赛后接受采访时表示，参加世界杯是他的梦想。
Odegaard said: "The World Cup is one of the most important events in the world. This has been my dream since I was a child, to play for the national team and participate in the World Cup. I have experienced a lot, including many lows. We have played in the playoffs and experienced many difficult moments. So it feels really great to be able to get to this point now."
Odegaard was unable to play due to injury. In this game, he said: "I came here to support the boys. We have worked hard for this for a long time. It is very important to me to be with them."
Talking about his knee injury, Odegaard said: "The situation is improving. Today's game is still a bit early, but the situation is starting to improve. I hope I can return to the game soon."
