England may possess a tactical edge over Norway in a potential World Cup matchup, with Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa's club-level defensive record against Erling Haaland offering a glimmer of hope. Haaland, known for his prolific scoring for Manchester City, has historically been kept in check by Konsa.
While Haaland's overall scoring prowess is undeniable, Konsa's performances when marking him at the club level have been notably effective. This history suggests a potential blueprint for England's defense to contain the formidable striker during international competition. The upcoming World Cup could see this individual defensive battle play a significant role in the outcome of matches between the two nations.
