‘Captain on and off the pitch’ – Fans Adore Arsenal Star Martin Odegaard’s Classy Gesture During International Duty
MARTIN ODEGAARD has garnered widespread admiration for his classy behavior while representing Norway during the recent World Cup qualifiers against Moldova and Israel. The Arsenal captain showcased not just his skills on the field but also his humility off it.
During the celebrations following Norway’s victory, Odegaard was spotted assisting the staff in tidying up the changing room. In a video that circulated on social media, the 26-year-old attacking midfielder was seen diligently picking up litter and placing it into a plastic bag before setting it atop an overflowing black wheelie bin. This gesture did not go unnoticed by fans, who quickly took to social media to express their appreciation.
One supporter remarked, “Captain on and off the pitch. Odegaard leads with class, humility, and respect—this is what true leadership looks like.” Another fan enthusiastically declared, “THIS IS MY SKIPPER AHHHHHHHHHH!” Additional comments included, “Love Odegaard on and off the pitch.” and “Complete captain on and off the pitch.”

This season, Odegaard has been instrumental for the Gunners, contributing eight assists and five goals. However, some Arsenal fans have expressed frustration with his performances, particularly in the absence of the brilliant Bukayo Saka, who usually complements him well on the field.
Arsenal’s next challenge is a Premier League clash against Fulham next Tuesday, as they aim to revive their fading title hopes. They have already exited the FA Cup, with the quarter-finals being contested this weekend. Following the Fulham match, Odegaard and his teammates will travel to Everton before gearing up for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid, a club where the talented midfielder previously showcased his abilities.

Mikel Merino netted the only goal of the match with a stunning looping header that found the net at the unmarked Chelsea back post. However, the Spaniard’s goal did little to mask a lackluster performance from the Gunners in front of goal.
