The Norwegian team drew 1-1 with New Zealand in a friendly match. Manchester City attacker Bob served in the central position, but coach Solbakken was very dissatisfied with his performance.
Solbakken said: "His performance in the first half was very poor, lacking in all aspects. He took the ball too long, his position was strange, and he was not aggressive enough in pressing. He actually did these things well in training, but he did not perform well in the game.
"I think Bob himself will admit that this was his worst performance in the national team, and the second half was the second worst. But I won't get too hung up on this, because Bob has performed very well in almost all other games, whether in the frontcourt or on the wing, so there is no need to worry about his problem. "
In the interview, Bob did not refute the head coach's evaluation. He said: "This is an objective evaluation. "This Manchester City youth player has become the star of hope for the Norwegian team, and he has obtained a stable chance to play in the World Cup qualifiers.
