Collect 24 points Norway beat Italy 4-1 on Sunday in World Cup qualifying, will be one of 48 teams traveling to the 2026 World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States. A Norwegian star had almost as many points in the win against the Italian team.
Dortmund’s Julian Ryerson (28) was a concern against coach Gennaro Gattuso’s team (47). During warm-ups, everyone’s attention was drawn to him when he showed off brown spots with black streaks in his bleached hair. The appearance of the leopard certainly caused a stir, especially in Norway. Bernt Hulsker (48), who used to be a striker and now works as an expert, told “Dagbladet”: “He is a true style pioneer. He, Haaland and Dønnum are icons of the national team’s style and each has his own style. He has the charm of Berlin, he played there and got a lot of inspiration.”
Julian Ryerson
Ryerson arrived in January 2023 for a transfer fee of five million euros Borrussia Dortmundpreviously he played for Union Berlin for four and a half years. During this time he was not only able to increase his market value from 400,000 euros to 7.5 million euros. In 2020 he was first called up to the Norwegian national team – and is this where he got the inspiration for his hairstyle from?
One thing is clear: Ryerson has attracted attention with his hair before. Last year she wore light pink on her head.
All Norwegians now do it colorfully. According to various reports, several players left their hotel in Milan around 2am on Monday evening. They went to the club together to celebrate their first participation in the World Cup since 1998. Ryerson is said to have left the hotel at around 1am and took a taxi.
By the way: Ryerson’s leopard look reminded many fans of Daniel Franck’s look at the 1998 Olympics. The Norwegian snowboarder sported a similar hairstyle at the time and won an Olympic silver medal in Nagano.
