Invasion of privacy

THE Norwegian national football team reportedly expressed concern about the Spanish press as they prepared to take on Spain in La Rosadela on Saturday, March 25.

The team were training at La Quinta in Marbella and while their training sessions were open to journalists for the first 15 minutes, they only allowed Norwegian journalists in during this period.

However, the team’s concern reportedly began after Movistar Plus approached the Norwegian team's training camp to cover training sessions. The broadcaster was denied access, but decided to film footage from one of the surrounding hills.

The decision caused outrage among the Norwegian players, who feel that their privacy was violated. The team wanted to keep their preparations for the match against Spain under wraps.

Norwegian midfielder Sander Berge, who plays for the English club Sheffield United, said it was unacceptable for their training sessions to be filmed without their permission.

Meanwhile, the national coach, Stale Solbakken took a more laid­back approach, stating that they had to simply “live with it.”
