Norway national football team faced Serbia in a must-win match in the Nations League. Norwegian defender Birger Meling was expected to start in the game. He has played in French football, where there have been a record number of red cards so far this season. Ligue 1 has had 34 red cards, while Ligue 2 has taken it to the extreme with 44 red cards. This trend is something that Birger Meling thinks is excessive. - What can I say... It seems that at any given time there is a tendency to doubt, so the red card comes. You just have to be smart and keep your head cool, says the back. Stian Gregersen, who has also received three yellow cards for Bordeaux in Ligue 2, thinks that the referees need to take a different approach. - It's very easy to get a yellow card, and they are very quick to give it. It's very unnecessary to get so many red cards, he says. Norway national football team had to keep their cool against Serbia in the Nations League. The shocking statistics from Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 left Birger Meling and Stian Gregersen on high alert. Lahoz, who is also known for showing the yellow card to four different players in under a second, is considered one of the top referees in European football. Mitrović, who is the star of the Serbian team, can take the group lead ahead of Norway in the Nations League if they win at Ullevaal.
