Yesterday put the two children on a flight home to Norway after following mom at close range in Canada. For Gulbrandsen was crucial when she decided to make a comeback in terms of VM that she got a good arrangement also for children.
– For me it is absolutely essential that I can have with your children. There are so egocentric of me to bet on football, because I will have to focus on myself and train when I train. That they then get to take part in this part of my life is very important, it is not only me who runs a ego trip, says Gulbrandsen Aftenposten.
International attention

It has 34-year-old a certain understanding.
– It depends on the child and who fits it. My children have grown up in this environment and know how to behave. They do not start crying every time I go to play football. Had they done so, it would the become a problem.
Birthday for the World Cup
It is not everyone who has a mother who play in the Football World Cup and it is not so many people ever have an entire VM layer Celebrate your niårsdagen.
It did however Theodor. Beforehand, he had laid invitation cards at the door to all the players and asked if they would come to his birthday. They would, and the company was a huge success with musical statues, bridge-bridge glasses and much more fun.
For the team it was a good relaxation from what in the long run can be a monotonous life in VM bubble.
Parents should probably wish it was as easy to find babysitting in Norway as it is the player’s hotel in Ottawa.– That’s as far as I can see them yourself, for they would rather hang out with all possible others. They have their favorites, laughing Gulbrandsen.
– I think everyone stands with open arms when they come, says Lene Mykjåland.
She plays in midfield with team mom, but in his spare time, she greatly appreciated being with the children.
– It is very nice to think about and talk about some other things than football. They bring a lot of good humor and laughter, she says.
Playing Wee and play adds a good dose of normal life to the squad. Mykjåland think players have very good of it.
Important facilitation
The same look Gulbrandsen and coach Even Pellerud.
One of the challenges in women’s football is to get players to prolong his career. Many turn through the national team at a young age, and because of that the financial framework is inferior to men’s football have sports betting often combined with studies and work.
When family life as well come on top of all this, select many to put up while they really have several good fotballår left in the body.
– I think this is a very appropriate way to do it. Why do not you always say “what about men in the same situation,” but it will be another discussion. I think in any case it is important to give our contribution to mothers to extend football and sportskarrièren as long as possible. It is important that we put right, says Pellerud, who under EM two years ago had several players who had kids.
Play football itself
He believes there is a limit for how many children and family members who may be involved in such a trip, but that in this case works very well.
He added that facilitate the same when he was head coach for Canada, and says the United States has had a tradition of doing it for years.
Now mom Gulbrandsen glad to see that his son has begun to play more football itself.
– Theodor is the very happy to play football but have never been like super keen. He has the most experience to sit and watch, but it’s great that he begins to play yourself.
