In the history of the world, countless world champions had to admit defeat due to the betrayal of someone very close to them. The Great Betrayals denied their Ultimate Crown.
The crazy horse of the Norwegian fairy tale that was running on Erling Haaland also stopped due to his teammate Sarloth. What can I say about this, betrayal? Jealousy? Jealousy? The dream of becoming a hero alone?
Just a small pass, a gentle cross!
The next moment, the ball was completely unmarked and at the feet of the most deadly finisher in the world!
In front of the 1v1, only Haaland and English GK Pickford would remain.
There is no chance of a goal being higher than this unless an unimaginable incident occurs!
But Sarloth did not give that pass to Haaland.
The score did not even reach 2-0.
The match was also lost at the end of the day.
Norway, who reached the quarter-finals for the first time, lost their chance to reach the semi-finals for the first time in history!
If they had gone to the semi-finals, they would have had two more matches. Football is a funny game! Who knew, maybe Haaland and his team, who almost single-handedly pulled Norway through, could have written history in their own way.
But, Alexander Sarloth didn't let that happen!
Norwegian football history will probably remember him as Brutus, who stabbed Julius Caesar in the chest!
When personal interests come before the team, that team never wins anything. So, I feel a little sad for Erling Haaland at the end of the day. He deserved better!
