Mount Receives Warm Welcome in Norway
In a warm-up session before the game, midfielder Mason Mount was welcomed with open arms by fans in Norway. The player graciously acknowledged the applause and showcased his skills during passing and shooting drills. In fact, his impeccable top-corner finish even earned him a round of applause from goalkeeper Nathan Bishop.
Erik, speaking before the match, expressed how having Mount back early for pre-season is a significant advantage. This statement highlights the midfielder’s importance to the team. And true to these words, Mount wasted no time in getting involved.
During the game, Mount stepped up to take a free-kick in a dangerous area following a foul on Amad. Although the ball didn’t reach its intended target, Raphael Varane, this moment served as an early indicator that the 24-year-old would play a pivotal role in the afternoon’s proceedings.
