After a hard-fought win over hosts Switzerland in the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 opener, Norway’s head coach broke down the game plan, second-half adjustments, and the growing expectations on star striker Ada Hegerberg.
She praised Switzerland for a dominant first half, admitting her team had to regroup and completely rethink their tactical approach during halftime. According to the coach, the players responded brilliantly, and the turnaround was a credit to their mentality and adaptability.
Addressing accusations of time-wasting from Pia Sundhage on Swedish television, she dismissed the claims, noting that breaks in play were used for coaching, hydration, and that all added time was accounted for.
She also commented on Ada Hegerberg’s return to form, expressing full confidence in her attacking core and emphasizing her job is to get the best out of them in big moments.
The message was clear: this Norway team expects to grow stronger every game.
