The estate insider: – Martin is like a 25-26 year-old girl – Dagbladet.no

Martin Ødegaard (15) is miles ahead of age in several areas. But Norwegian football genius declared his young hero has to work with him too.

Ødegaard Tuesday was taken out of the squad for EURO Qualification matches against Malta (b) and Bulgaria (h). It is likely that he gets decent playing time there.

Sports Connoisseurs believe that Ødegaard could become the best in just about all of sports. This says one Strømsgodset Insider about how mature youngster is on three key areas:

General maturity: – 20 to 21 years. We can discuss the most part, and it is obvious that he has received good training.

football maturity offensive game: – 25 to 26 years. Where is he far, far ahead of his age. This is the area he has prioritized several seasons already. It is easy to see. He can and understand most of it.

football maturity defensive play: – A place from 16 to 19 years depending on the areas. Here he lies more places around their actual age. We see this in the way he presses on, how he uses the powers and with little understanding of how to lie in court.

Must develop

Ødegaard has a realistic view of their own skills, too where there are six on the dice.

– I have started working to get better defensively. It’s all about aggressiveness and winning balls. This is an important part of the game and something we have to work with, says Ødegaard said.

The teenager is quite bird-boned and elegant in style. But some muskelbroiler it is not of him for a while.

– It is easy to get injured if you exercise too much weight training in a growth period.

Tough

Ødegaard struggled for some years since hard with injuries, and he lost over one season.

Tuesday he was again in the media spotlight. Ødegaard parried most questions convincingly in his modest way.

Expectations for him are blown completely beyond reasonable proportions. Can he take the next step? Can Ødegaard the “natural” evolution others the same age experiencing?

The questions were and are many. So far, the frame shoulder answered them with a cash yes.

Now he is soon faced with the real hurdle in the world’s biggest sport.
