MistaT that's the main difference in view point. In his current role, Odegaard is closer to Modric than Bruno Fernandes.
Ultimately Norway walked off with 65%+ of the ball and, whatever you think of Brazil's midfield, that doesn't just happen. Even against Morocco and Japan, Brazil had more of the ball.
I get that control ball isn't always exciting or even needed when playing for Arsenal and you have Zubimendi and Rice next to you but achieving that against Brazil with less experienced midfield partners is seriously impressive and creates the platform to dictate the game.
You could just watch the video I linked above where Zabeleta highlights specifically what works so well. It's also exactly why Arteta keeps picking Odegaard when he's fit too.
