Henning Berg recounts 1998 World Cup incident with Erik Mykland

Current Omonia coach Henning Berg provided an interview to the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet regarding a controversy during the 1998 World Cup in France. Berg discussed a night out at a bar with his teammate Erik Mykland, which caused a significant media stir at the time. Berg explained that the pair had gone out to watch football in a quiet village, not realizing the venue was frequented by other Norwegians. He emphasized that while they consumed beer, the incident was largely blown out of proportion by the media rather than the behavior itself. The coach also noted how the team manager Egil 'Drillo' Olsen handled the fallout of the scandal. Beyond this event, Berg reflected on his personal experiences and memories from both the 1994 and 1998 World Cups. He described Mykland as a disciplined midfielder, despite their differing views on the coach's tactical style. Berg maintains that he and Mykland were close friends who often shared rooms during tournaments.
