New York, June 16 -- Norway coach Stale Solbakken praised striker Erling Haaland, saying he expects him to have a major impact in the ongoing FIFA World Cup and believes he will continue to score if provided chances.

He also added that Haaland's presence boosts the confidence and development of the players around him. Haaland is raring to go against Iraq on Tuesday in his country's first World Cup match in 28 years

"Hopefully, he will have a very big impact. Hopefully, we can continue to give him chances, and if you give Erling chances, he has a tendency to score. The players around him have grown because of that. So they have got more confidence in themselves," he told reporters as per Reuters.
