Martin Odegaard and Erling Haaland are close international team-mates. But it was not that way initially.
The Arsenal skipper said he did not always see eye-to-eye with the Man City forward when he first met him.
“You have changed a little,” Odegaard told Haaland. “You were more like a little ******* in the beginning. You were so childish. You have grown up more in the last couple of years.
“But you saw it in the first (international) camp, in the videos when you dance and sing. It looks like you are 12 years old and the biggest little *******. Honestly! I don’t think he does things because he thinks they are really cool.
“But maybe he wants to get a reaction and maybe be a little funny. I just laugh at him. I do not take it seriously when he does crazy things. He could walk in with some sick shoes on or a sick bag, but I don’t think ‘here’s Erling, he loves this’.”
