Even so, Odegaards’ admiration is accompanied by a certain self-consciousness while seeing first hand the way Zidane dribbles and plays with the ball.
“I have trained with the main team (Madrid) and played matches with the reserving team when Zidane became our coach. I also had a few minute to play with the main team. I need to get used to his speed and quality,” says Odegaard to Goal.
“Being trained by Zidane is great, but most times it’s frightful for your self confidence – when he displays to us how he does a certain thing … impeccable technique!
The 20-year old player was lent twice by Madrid to Heerenveen and Vitesse. Even so, there’s still a ray of hope for Odegaard to come back to Santiago Banabeu and start being a part of the squad that’s regenerating players.
“Of course I hope to play a few matches again (with Madrid), but eventually I have played with big starts. That’s a big step for us. From Stromsgodset to Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo,” says Odegaard.
Coming from Stromsgodset in 2015, Odegaard is said to be the Norwegian wonder kid with a bright future. He has wrapped 14 caps with the Norwegian football team and is thriving in Eredivisie, Holland.
