Norway national football team gathers to prepare for the World Cup in the USA. Pål Fjelde has a key role for Norway during the tournament. The hunt for small margins also means maximizing Norway's potential on dead balls both offensively and defensively. Pål Fjelde (31), who is responsible for dead balls on the Norwegian national team, is not in doubt that a successful dead ball play can be the difference between advancement and exit when everything is on the line. – It's clear. At this level, it's about hunting margins and optimizing, and then dead ball is an important part of the game, says Fjelde to Nettavisen. Now Fjelde focuses fully on the upcoming World Cup and prepares thoroughly for Norway's opponents Iraq, Senegal, and France. – We try to set up the best possible dead ball play for the different opponents and from which players we have on the pitch. It will soon become some new variants, says Fjelde. Fjelde has this season combined the national team job with the same role in Premier League club Burnley. After the dismissal of manager Scott Parker and the relegation to Championship, he is uncertain about what the future holds. – In principle, I have two years left on my contract, but it's just like in football that it depends on who comes in as the new manager and things like that, says Fjelde. Steven Gerrard is among those linked to the vacant manager job. Norway national football team gathers to prepare for the World Cup in the USA.
