STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Arsenal playmaker Martin Odegaard is ready to lead Norway's youthful soccer revolution and bid for qualification for the finals of a major tournament again after being named captain, despite being one of the youngest players in new manager Stale Solbakken's squad. But with striker Erling Braut Haaland tearing it up in European club football for Borussia Dortmund, that long drought may be about to end. The 20-year-old Haaland has scored 10 goals in this season's Champions League, four more than French World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe. I think the best thing now is to discuss how we best can affect change. Whether there's a boycott or not, I think it's important to focus on how we can make changes," Odegaard said.
