Speaker A
Wayne Rooney, I expect you to go out on a rowing trip. Brazil is a football nation which is almost maybe the first football nation you kind of get to know because of all the legendary players that played there.
Speaker A
Just jersey, the country, the passion. Even 2014 with Neymar and [music], you know, with all them big players they had and they have, it's just like it's a bit unrealistic to play against them. No matter where you go, you kind of see a
Speaker A
Brazil shirt. And yeah, that's why I have so much respect for Brazil as a country, but especially as a football nation.
Speaker A
Ah, so nice. So nice, man. [Laughter] Ah, beautiful. You remember I played against you in 1997 in the—Yes, yes, of course.
Speaker A
[Laughter] A nightmare, no? I told you we wanted to party, more party in Oslo afterwards instead.
Speaker A
Yeah. [Laughter] We remember now of the only a friendly game. After match and matter of memories.
Speaker A
Yeah. [Laughter] The match. I mean Ronaldo is a special player as well, we all know. El Fenomeno. I think Zlatan said it like he is the inspiration to everyone that starts with football because the way he was dribbling, the way he was just
Speaker A
enjoying football and everything. Good luck. Thank you very much. Not a—We'll see. A lot of luck.
Speaker A
But two or three goals is okay? It's okay. Yeah, that's okay. He will score for you, I think?
Speaker A
Yeah. Ah, he's amazing. He's so fast, strong, and with Gabriel, then they know each other a lot.
Speaker A
Be a good battle. Okay, my friend. Thank you. Well, this is a big, big game for Norway, you know.
Speaker A
Mighty Brazil. If Norway is sort of happy to be where we are, if we win, it's fantastic, but if we lose, it will still be a good World Cup for Norway.
Speaker A
And you know that we never won against Norway. I played twice and I lost both matches.
Speaker A
[Snorts] Yeah. It's our lucky day. In football, you never know. You never know what's going to happen in your life. You never know what's going to happen the day after tomorrow. That's why you have to live in the moment. [Music] Don't
Speaker A
think of what's next. Just enjoy being present in the moment. [Music and applause] I think the Brazilians, there's more pressure on them. We're just happy.
Speaker A
We're just having a good time. No pressure for us. A lot of pressure for them.
Speaker A
Uh, there are a few things that are certain in life. It's perfect. One of them is that Norway always beats Brazil.
Speaker A
Wait. Wait. So, this is a very special cup. Half Brazil, half Norway. It's going to be really emotional today.
Speaker A
Yeah. Of course, 'cause you're Brazilian. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to be great. I hope everybody enjoys and has a great time. And we've seen the vibe with the supporters, the memes, the media.
Speaker A
There's so much positivity. Most of it is, "Oh, earlier, I love you so much, but today I'm Brazil."
Speaker A
That's the ma—maximum of it. [Cheering] [Cheering] [Cheering and music] No words. This is—I don't know, man. This is just unreal.
Speaker A
To win against Brazil and qualify for the quarterfinal was not on my bucket list. I think we played unbelievable, but to have 200, 250 million or who, how many it is in Brazil, to expect you to win a football game is
Speaker A
not easy. So, the pressure is on them, and you could kind of see that today. We were just—we just played football and enjoyed it, and I remember I said it right before the game started, "Guys, no matter what happens, just
Speaker A
smile and enjoy it [music] because just live in the moment because we did everything we can, and now we're in quarterfinals [music] with our shoulders down just enjoying, enjoying playing football. It—It does—It still doesn't feel real because it's
Speaker A
just so far off like I could—I could never think [music] of this happening, which also makes it so like crazy [music] in my head that we actually managed to beat Brazil and go through. It's been unbelievable, so I
Speaker A
need to call it a day now. I need to relax [music] and then sleep because I'm absolutely knackered. So, guys, thank you again. This is incredible.
Speaker A
This is mind-blowing. So, if you enjoyed it, like, comment, and subscribe, and I'll see you guys soon.
