Where were we?

Hi guys
I was very busy, and so I couldn't write anything about Rosenborg from July untill now. What happened? So many things, I saw the last post I wrote was about Per Joar Hansen, the former coach. It was substitued by Ingebrigsten, the one who is still coach today. Our team arrived at second place in Tippeligaen 2014: it means that e shall play the Europa League qualifications. Last year, this season, we did not win the last qulification match, and so we had not the possibilities to play the play-off match.
What's the situation now?

MIX DISKERUD - The Norwegian-USA midfielder  during his permanence at Trondheim was often tempted by very important soccer teams, all over the european leagues, but he decided everytime to stay in the Tippeligaen. Now his future is doubtful, because the tension is high at Trondheim.

IT'S HARD TO BREATHE - The Rosenborg economic state is in a bind: the managers said that the sponsors money are not enough, and the tickets too. So it was necessary to sell someone: Berntsen, that went to Djurgarden. The causes of this situation are three: Nielsen, Chibuike and Brede Moe, good players sold or few moneys.

FRIENDLY MATCHES - Seeing that the training for last season was injurious and deleterious, this year mr. Inge decided that was necessary to have few friendly matches against weak teams. The hope is that this decision will be a good decision.

I'm glad to write in this blog, after so many complicated months of silence. I whish you had understood what I wrote!

Forza Rosenborg

Rosenborg - Costuleni 3-0. Copa del Sol is over

Yes, we were already out of the tournment before this match, but we played very well indeed. I could see how the team has really enjoyed it. The line-up was the usual 4-3-3, with the three forward that were Mikkelsen, Riku and Soderlund, like the first match against Astra. 
We had several opportunities throughout the course of the match. Such occasions we have had playing a very fast game ( a kind of game that has become the prerogative of Rosenborg) , in an offensive way and running a lot on the wings, but in the meantime we did not neglected the defensive phase. The Costuleni had only one opportunity to score with a header from a corner kick , but the defense has been able to clean up. Rosenborg on the other hand had two great occasions with Soderlund , the better of the first half according to me , which attempted to score with a header in the middle of the penalty area , and later took the bar with a powerful shot . In the second half there was no match : Rosenborg covered well all over the field , with numerous entries inside the area of the midfielder and building a good game, based (after Bille entered) on a filtering passes. The Danish has been able to juggle the ball in midfield , playing behind the wings forward , Sørloth and Riski.
Mr. Hansen has therefore changed, in the course of the match, the line-up , playing with a 4-3-1-2 , which allowed the construction of all three goals . Since Bille came in the Rosenborg has shown more dangerous.

The first goal was scored by Strandberg. There was a corner kick, Strandberg headed the ball and scored the 1-0. Since then only the Rosenborg seemed to play the match. 
The second goal was scored by Bille: Helland took the ball in the area, then passed the ball behind to Bille that shoted a powerful kick and the keeper couldn't do anything to save the ball. 
The action that led to the third goal was started (just for a change) by Bille, who fed the ball to Helland, that made a lob and scored easily.

We made three goal in almost ten minutes, then the match went over: the Costuleni didn't anything to score and Rosenborg controlled the game. 

We went out of the tournment because Astra won against AIK (we would come out of the tournament because we had also lost the head to head against the Astra), but we had played a good match, we won easily, I've to admit, and I liked the way the players played. I'm a bit doubtful about the red card to Strandberg, I didn't understand very well why the referee did it. 

I know that this matches (pre-season friendly matches) are not very important (they aren't important at all) but indeed (like all the other friendly matches all over the world, of course) they're very important to understand what kind of line-up is better to win the matches of our league, or to win in Europe, in order to go in Europa League. I think that the newcome Riski will be very usefull. I'm very doubtful (and I was already the last season) about Soderlund as first string, but Mr Hansen played in this few friendly with him as regular. I'm very happy that Chibuike didn't leave us in this transfer market, because he's very important as playmaker, but also as halfback. With a 4-3-1-2 we are more dangerous on the wings, thanks to players that run a lot, and are able to overcome the opponents easily (like Helland) and with this line-up we're very dangerous also with Bille that is more free to create the actions and make opportunities to score. Chibuike is able to run, create opportunities and intercept balls. The only great problem that I saw also the last season, is that we get tired in the last league matches. This year, then, there is also the World Cup, which will see us without key players such as Mix and Gamboa. We must be careful not to waste our energies at once, in the first few games (this is a task that must be able to do the technical staff),  and it is essential to buy some important reserves in the summer market. Lastly, I think this should be the line-up:






                                            Orlund

Gamboa                 Strandberg         Reginiussen              Dorsin
                            (Moe)                                                (Skjelvik)  

         
     Chibuike                             Mix                                 Svensonn
                                                                                   (Strandberg)                                   

                                             Bille
Helland                                                                   Riski                         
(Soderlund)                                                             (Mikkelsen)

Notizie Flash da Trondheim

Tanto per cominciare cominciamo a dire che nel torneo di Marbella una delle due partite amichevoli sarà giocata contro il Kalmar, nota squadra svedese. E si è scoperta anche l'avversaria del Rosenborg nella prima amichevole stagionale il 23 gennaio all'Abra-Hallen: è il Kristiansund.
In settimana sia Mike Jensen che il nuovo arrivato Bent Sormo hanno rilasciato delle interviste. Mike Jensen si ritiene soddisfatto della stagione appena finita, dicendo che grazie al Rosenborg è riuscito a ritrovare la nazionale. Tutti noi ricordiamo il suo debutto con gol alla prima giornata in casa dell'Odd, che fece vincere la partita. Poi altri due gol contro il Tromso in Coppa e anche contro lo  Strømsgodset per mantenere viva la lotta al vertice.  Il danese è stato giudicato come miglior giocatore della Tippeligaen 2013 nel Rosenborg (ed a ragione, aggiungo io), battendo la concorrenza del capitano Tore Reginiussen. Jensen fa i complimenti anche a Ole Selnæs e Mikkel Diskerud, altre due giovani, forse non più promesse, ma consolidate realtà, del Rosenborg.
Bent Sormo invece si presenta con un contratto di tre anni e tanta voglia di far bene. Tore Gronning afferma che sebbene sia giovane, è un ragazzo molto determinato, e sicuramente lavorerà bene. E' un centrocampista, e lo scopo principale, continua Gronning, è quello di farlo crescere come calciatore in modo tale da farlo diventare un perno principale della squadra di Trondheim.

Nel frattempo Mix continua a postare video su Instagram in cui mixa, coerentemente con il suo nomignolo, basket e calcio, facendo divertire i suoi follower. Il ragazzo statunitense sta già cominciando a pensare al mondiale Brasiliano, ed è pronto ad essere chiamato in causa da 

Jürgen Klinsmann, qualora dovesse servire.

E infine, anche un piccolo orgoglio nazionale: Andrea Loberto, che aveva già lavorato per il Valerenga come vice allenatore, approda anche a Trondheim, pronto a risollevare le sorti, sia nazionali che Europee, della squadra più titolata in Norvegia. Sarà vice-allenatore e anche mental coach.

Per ora è tutto da Trondheim. Alle prossime news.
