"It's really big, and it's a dream coming true."

SOUNDBITE (Norwegian) Martin Odegaard (on what he has been told by the coach on the chance to play):

"I've heard the same as you. I'm in the team because I've done well, and have an equal chance of playing as the others."

SOUNDBITE (Norwegian) Martin Odegaard (on the interest shown in him, not just by Norwegian media, but international media as well):

"As I've always said; I only focus on developing as a footballer. The other things have nothing to do with my development and I don't use my energy on that."
