“I said that the armband could weigh too heavy on him. I said it could, there was a chance that it could.
“Some people, when they get the armband, it changes them. He’s started the season brilliantly. As a player, I like Odegaard, last season he was fantastic.”
He added, “He was a wonder kid from 15 years old and now he’s starting to show why. You either get the armband weighing heavily on you, or it enables you to grow and become better.”
