Norway

Team Name	Norway
Stadium	Ullevaal Stadion (PES stadium - Teatro Blanco)
Manager	Egil Olsen
Captain	Brede Hangeland
Confederation	UEFA
Five Star Ranking

Norway are classed as being a good/average in the world of PES due to lacking any world class players. They struggle against more technically gifted and pacey teams but are dangerous from set pieces due to the aerial ability in team. They have never been licensed and have a home kit of red shirts, white shorts and navy blue socks and an away strip of white shirts, navy blue shorts and white socks.

Tactics & Players

The best way to use Norway is by implementing a counter attacking style of play. Therefore a 4-3-3 is highly recommended using 2 holding midfielders and 2 support strikers (usually Morten Gamst Pedersen and John Carew) who supply the lone striker (usually Steffen Iversen). The lack of pace at the back means they can be exposed easily however utilising 2 deep lying midfielders can normally counter this.
