Ståle Solbakken, the coach of Norway, trusts his team's abilities before the anticipated match against Brazil.
Brazil will play against Norway on Sunday evening in the Round of 16 of the World Cup.
Solbakken said in a press conference: "When we face Brazil, we should not think about the importance of the event, but focus only on what happens on the field."
He added, "Stopping Vinícius Júnior does not depend only on the full-backs, but on teamwork and supporting the flanks, so we do not leave our players in individual situations."
He continued, "I believe we have found the right way to support Haaland and provide him with the passes he needs. We are a team that is eagerly looking forward to facing Brazil because we have an attacking mentality."
He added, "Whether the match goes to 90 or 120 minutes, we will have to defend for periods, and when that happens, we must be at our best."
He emphasized, "I do not think Brazil is the clear favorite by a large margin as it was years ago. We have achieved a series of good results for a long time, we have great confidence, and we are good at handling the ball."
He concluded his statements, "It is difficult to determine a percentage for our chances of winning, but we are capable of hurting Brazil if we give our best. If we are not at our best, we will have no chance."
The winner of the Brazil vs. Norway match will play against the winner of the England vs. Mexico match.
