Norway has started the World Cup qualifying campaign with two convincing wins. Italy now fears Norway and the upcoming match in Oslo. Alexander Sørloth, who played a good game for Norway in Hungary on Tuesday evening, believes Norway has earned respect from the football powerhouse. – Do you think Italy fears you? – With the players we have, I think all teams have respect for us. That's where we've come and now it's up to us to get more out of the game. We've had this team for a good while now and it's up to us to make the most of it, Sørloth told Nettavisen. Norway crushed Israel: – Solbakken is flying Atletico Madrid's star is clear that it will be some exciting months leading up to the match in June. – First, I'll finish well in the club and we'll try to take a trophy. That's my top priority and then there's a carrot in June that I think everyone is looking forward to. – Now we have a perfect starting point and a very good time to meet Italy. I hope it will be a people's festival and we'll make sure they go home with a smile on their face, he said. Norwegian optimism Norway could hardly have started the World Cup qualifying campaign better, with nine goals and six points against Moldova and Israel. Against Israel, captain Martin Ødegaard was in a class of his own with three assists. – It was delightful to win an important football match and do it in the way we did. I've said many times that I have faith in what we're doing, said national team captain Martin Ødegaard. Satisfied with Ødegaard: – It's so perfect He looks forward to the match against Italy, which will likely be crucial for Norway to take the group win that gives direct qualification to the World Cup. – I don't know what they think, but we're looking forward to it. It will be good, and already sold out, so we're looking forward to it, Ødegaard told Nettavisen.
