The Norwegian midfielder, who is 13 years old and full of age-defying talent, started training alongside players who were older than him. When he came off the bench in a game for the first squad two years later, at the age of 15, he made history with his hometown team, Stromsgodset.The entire football community took notice of this, and now major European players were glued to the port city of Drammen, Norway, to find out what all the fuss was about. The local supporters were astonished that a baby-faced youngster who had at least another year of school ahead of him was captaining the midfield, but those who knew him well were not taken aback.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/image.tituta.online\/uploads\/image_660bd526a835b.webp\" alt=\"Martin Odegaard compar\u00e9 \u00e0 deux l\u00e9gendes d'Arsenal alors que des \u00e9loges \u00e9logieux en disent long - Mirror Online\" align=\"center\" data-src=\"https:\/\/image.tituta.online\/uploads\/image_660bd526a835b.webp\" data-was-processed=\"true\" \/>Exclusive interviews with two well-known Stromsgodset hierarchy members who were present for Odegaard\u2019s quick ascent to football superstardom have been published by Mirror Football. Magne Jordan Nilsen, the general manager of the team, described how he realized the present Arsenal player was unlike any other youthful talent he had ever seen.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/image.tituta.online\/uploads\/image_660bd52687cb6.webp\" alt=\"Martin Odegaard est arriv\u00e9 au Real Madrid le 1er janvier 2015\" align=\"center\" data-src=\"https:\/\/image.tituta.online\/uploads\/image_660bd52687cb6.webp\" data-was-processed=\"true\" \/>\u201cHe played as a number 6 in midfield against a Hungarian team when he joined us for preseason in Marbella,\u201d Nilsen remarked. The player was 15 at the time. Martin dominated the match despite just being 15 years old at the time. The coaches and players declared, \u201cIt\u2019s something we have seen and something we will never see again in our lives.\u201d Nilsen quipped, \u201cI didn\u2019t want to tell anyone because they would have signed him right away.\u201d<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/image.tituta.online\/uploads\/image_660bd5263f172.webp\" alt=\"Jurgen Klopp a rejoint Martin Odegaard au Borussia Dortmund avec le Real Madrid\" align=\"center\" data-src=\"https:\/\/image.tituta.online\/uploads\/image_660bd5263f172.webp\" data-was-processed=\"true\" \/>Nobody in Norway has ever seen Martin before, according to Marthinsen. He made the seamless transition from friendly preseason contests to championship matches without any problems. I think it was his fourth or fifth game for us. He made a joke about a 37-year-old man scoring twice. For all of us, it was an amazing match and experience.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy loading\" src=\"https:\/\/image.tituta.online\/uploads\/image_660bd5250e6f5.webp\" alt=\"Martin Odegaard, 16 ans, devient le plus jeune joueur du Real Madrid | CNN\" align=\"center\" data-src=\"https:\/\/image.tituta.online\/uploads\/image_660bd5250e6f5.webp\" data-was-processed=\"true\" \/>Unlike \u043ether y\u043eung pl\u0430yers fr\u043em lesser-kn\u043ewn clubs, \u043edeg\u0430\u0430rd c\u0430ught the eye \u043ef bigger clubs.

Nilsen says he\u2019s already up there with the finest in England.It\u2019s difficult to predict what would have occurred if Martin had gone straight to Arsenal, but he is currently regarded as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.Even at the young age of 23, Odegaard has already encountered experiences that would be difficult for most individuals to encompass in a single career.Currently leading Arsenal\u2019s campaign for the top four, he has handled the limelight that comes with being a juvenile prodigy and refuted concerns that he would be a failure when things didn\u2019t work out in Spain.Maybe it has more to do with the love he gets in North London and less to do with the harsh treatment he occasionally endured in Madrid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the age of 15, Martin Odegaard became the youngest player to play for his hometown team, Stromsgodset, in Tippeligaen.\u00a0One of the few players in world football&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2132,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
