The people who gave Ødegaard all the smoke for leading his team to a historic victory over Brazil have suddenly gone quiet about Bruno Fernandes’ disastrous tournament.
It’s simple, Bruno can’t thrive in a top team that wants to dominate possession. He’s a chaos player, better suited to average teams that rely on transitions.
Ødegaard, on the other hand, is tailor-made for elite possession-based football. He’s won the league with his club, led his team to the Champions League final, and captained Norway to a World Cup quarter-final in the same season, things Bruno can only dream of.
