Norwegian players unhappy with hotel surroundings before Dutch friendly in Amsterdam

[p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/solbakken-stale/pxok8eTM/"]Stale Solbakken[/a]'s national team stars have been accommodated at the Van der Valk Hotel Oostzaan, located 20 minutes from the centre of the Dutch capital. [/p][p]The view from the hotel includes a four-lane highway, from which the Norwegian players have a clear view of the heavy traffic.[/p][p]These surroundings have not gone down well with the squad. [/p][p][b]"I didn't expect that. I think it's a bit weak, to be honest. I've passed it on to the relevant people,"[/b] [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/dortmund/nP1i5US1/"]Borussia Dortmund[/a]'s [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/ryerson-julian/8nv0ZZYK/"]Julian Ryerson[/a] told [i][b]Dagbladet[/b][/i].[/p][p][b]"I asked who had planned this here. I've been to Amsterdam quite a bit. I live 2.5 hours away. It's a nice city, so I was a little disappointed when I saw this."[/b][/p][p]Morten Thorsby, who regularly plays for Cremonese, agrees with the criticism and questions the location of the hotel.[/p][p][b]"I know Amsterdam well. I was here quite a bit when I played in [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/heerenveen/EDjXSyWG/"]Heerenveen[/a]. There are a couple of nice places to go. Even if you're staying in a nice hotel, there's something about getting out and having a change of scenery. You miss a café or two outside"[/b], says the Norwegian international, according to Dagbladet. [/p][p]However, the players' comments do not worry Stale Solbakken, who is taking it all in stride.[/p][p][b]"It doesn't worry me that much. Maybe it's a test. If you can't handle three days on a four-lane highway here, you certainly won't handle 35 days in the USA. The hotel is not ideal, but we can handle it,"[/b] says the national coach, according to Dagbladet.[/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/norway/8rP6JO0H/"]Norway[/a] will face the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/netherlands/WYintcWb/"]Netherlands[/a] in Amsterdam on Friday at 20.45 CET.[/p]
