Santeri Väänänen, Rosenborg BK

[Norjalainen]

Tänään sen verran kova haaste, että parempi lepäillä penkillä ja antaa muiden ottaa selkäsauna

Hidas, mutta suomeksi.

I can't do anything but agree, but Väänänen is starting - and I got that message 5 seconds after I said I hope he doesn't, because surely he gets a red card in this one. It is hard to say what formation we are playing. Because it looks like a 3-6-1, but if we assume it's a 5-3-2 we line up like this:

Hansen

Reitan - Rogers - Henriksen - Jenssen - Tagseth

Väänänen - Børkeeiet - Bjørlo

Nypan - Thorvaldsson

Bench: Tangvik, Cornic, Pereira, Skjelbred, Nelson, Ingasson, Sadiku


And it is absolutely wild to throw Nypan in as a striker here, he's at best an attacking midfielder. That midfield is also extremely "hardworking" with no great creativity - with Sande being the most creative player.

[Norjalainen]

The wildness of Nypan up front paid off with a goal actually! He is such a huge talent. Youngest ever scorer for Rosenborg in the league now.

Santeri did a really good job of closing down Bodø's build-up on the right side while he played. He got subbed out in the 72. minute.

You might see reports that Sadiku was subbed in, because some services has it wrong, and Rosenborg on Twitter has it wrong, but it was Cornic that got subbed in.

[Norjalainen]

Isak Thorvaldsson is injured, he is out with both a hard hit to the ribs that he got in Bodø, and also a concussion apparently. I hope this means more playing time for Sadiku, but the manager seems to prefer Ingasson as a striker for some reason, and Aga might be given playtime as well. It would be great if Sadiku got to play tomorrow and score in front of an almost sold out Lerkendal, over 20000 tickets sold already.

Sadiku played one half (and scored) for RBK 2 yesterday, so I doubt he's starting tomorrow. But let's hope he comes in as a sub and scores!

Compared to this our attendances look like a pile of shit.

Toukokuun 16. päivä, eli Norjan kansallispäivän aatto, on vähän erikoistapaus. Vähän suomalaiseen vapunaattoon rinnastuva hulinapäivä, jolloin pelataan aina täysi sarjakierros enemmän tai vähemmän täysille katsomoille.

[Norjalainen]

Absolutely. It is called Football's national day in Norway, and there are huge traditions connected to it, which is why people don't look at anything but the date when they order tickets. Obviously a happy fan base gets a sold out stadium quicker. I think Brann sold all their 16750 tickets in just a few hours.

I forgot to mention Sadiku's goal for RBK2, but he only played the first half, so maybe there's a chance. Aga scored with an overhead kick, so that was a bit more impressive, but he played longer, so he might not be considered as a starter.

[Norjalainen]

Väänänen starting, Sadiku on the bench. 21000+ tickets sold.

Hansen

Reitan - Rogers - Henriksen - Jenssen - Tagseth

Väänänen - Børkeeiet - Bjørlo

Nypan - Ingasson

It's going to be interesting to see if Haugesund play the same way as Bodø(they won't), and see if Rosenborg can counter in goals(maybe) and save the manager's job(hopefully not).

[Norjalainen]

Väänänen picking up some sort of injury after a tackle. Just looks like his lower leg just hurt a lot. Subbed out after 30 minutes. Sadiku still on the bench.

[Penkkijengi11]

Toivottavasti selviää suhteellisen vähällä. Pystyi kuitenkin loukin jälkeen olemaan kentällä vielä muutaman minuutin vaikka teki selvästi kipeää.

[Jema Pelle]

Just avasin TV:n. Vastustajalle samasta tilanteesta?

[Norjalainen]

Santeri picks up the hurting leg from going in too hard into a tackle himself. So the red was unrelated. If anything Santeri should have had a yellow, but this referee is a bit of a bingo-referee, anything can happen.

The tackle that resulted to Sande's injury was clean. Just a hard slide tackle with ball in between his and opposing player's foot. Unfortunately with Väänänen's injury proneness those sort of situations can lead to injuries.

Väänäsen nilkkavamma ei vaikuta vakavalta, mutta pieni liigatauko tulee tarpeeseen. Eliteserienin seuraava kierros pelataan vasta toisena helluntaipäivänä 29.5, sitä ennen kuitenkin keskiviikkona Norjan Cupin avauskierros nelosdivarin Trygg/Ladea vastaan. Siinä voisi olla hyvä paikka Sadikulle avata maalintekoketsuppipullo.

[indreløper]

Nyt tuli täsmällisempänä infoa: Väänänen ei vielä pysty harjoittelemaan normaalisti, keskiviikon cup-matsi jää väliin, mutta seuraavaan liigamatsiin 29.5 lienee taas pelikunnossa.

[indreløper]

Sadiku avauksessa cupin ekan kierroksen matsissa. Nyt kelpaisi kunnon maali-iloittelut.

E: vastassa siis Trygg/Lade (4. div), myös Trondheimista. Virallisesti vierasmatsi, mutta pelataan RBK:n naisten ykkösjoukkueen kotikentällä.

[Norjalainen]

I wonder in what formation we'll line up in, there's a lot of attackers in the starting eleven. Four of the starters have played as a striker so far this season.

[indreløper]

Mu guess is 3-5-2 with Nelson as wingback. Could also be 3-4-3 with the 15-year old Holmen as wingback and Nelson as winger, which might put Sadiku at the other wing, or not. We’ll see!

[Norjalainen]

We'll know soon enough! What is a good thing for Sadiku either way, is that when Rosenborg have played teams with players eager to show off, wins have been in the double digits this round. A bad thing is that Rekdal is the manager of Rosenborg still.

[indreløper]

Brief formation drill in the warmup, in 3-5-2. Sadiku and Aga on top, Nelson wingback, Ingasson in midfield.

[indreløper]

0-1 Sadiku.

Tarkoittaako nelosdivari Norjassa viidenneksi korkeinta sarjatasoa? Puolenmillin mies osuu sentään pubiliigajengiä vastaan

Tarkoittaako nelosdivari Norjassa viidenneksi korkeinta sarjatasoa? Puolenmillin mies osuu sentään pubiliigajengiä vastaan

Joo, tarkoittaa. Noin silmämääräisesti kotijoukkue koostui lähinnä teineistä plus pari vanhempaa pelaajaa, joilla oli vähän ylimääräistä vyötäröllä. Ja tasainen ysikymppinen väännettiin. Ei ole ihan helppoa olla RBK:n kannattaja nyt, mutta Rekdalin ero- tai potku-uutista odotellessa sinnitellään…

Matsi päättyi siis 0-1. Sadiku otettiin vaihtoon noin 65 minuutin kohdalla. Ainoa jotenkin kelvollinen pelisuoritus tuli 15-vuotiaalta debytantilta, joka hoiti keskikentän ankkurin roolinsa varsin mallikelpoisesti.

[Norjalainen]

Only positive is that the chance Sadiku scored on, is the same kind that Aga missed in a match before. So Sadiku got to prove that he does in fact score on every 3 chances he get, I think this was his third. The team we played should have been good enough to win against the other team by 7-8 goals, but we actually go out in the second half trying to defend that 1-0 lead. If Rekdal doesn't get fired soon, people will be starting to point their fingers at the board instead..

I am happy to see the second youngest ever starter for Rosenborg doing well though, but it's a bad sign that the players that look the best in this team, is the ones that practice least with the team. It's like whoever doesn't quite understand how the manager wants to play, plays better.
