Here I am - News

Obviously everyone in the earth wondered himself: "Where is Mondo Rosenborg? I cannot live without his news about the most succesfull team in Norway!". So, here I am, and there's a reason why I didn't write anything. Rosenborg is my passion, sure, but my life (and the life generally) is full of other things, more important that soccer. I won't go into details, but I've taken this opportunity to change the way of writing in this blog (yes, I'd made too much changes since I've started, but... this is me). I will not write the analysis of the matches, that were very boring and written in a bad english, but I'll write (as in every blog in internet) my impressions on the match, and seeing the Rosenborg situation, I think I'll write only vets, words full of anger. 
So, I hope you'll read my blog in future, and... Forza Rosenborg!

P.S.: I write the analysis of the matches in Italian on "Tribuna Italia", an online newspaper. If you wanna see something...

The former player Olsen stops Rosenborg: 2-2 at Aspmyra Stadion

Finished with a draw the match against Bodo Glimt , the team placed first in the last Adeccoligaen. Third draw of the season for Rosenborg , who cannot drive out the ghosts above Trondheim. Rosenborg played without Nicki Bille Nielsen ; The Danish striker , in fact, has become protagonist in an unpleasant fact in his native city (Copenhagen) during the easter holidays, so he was excluded from the match at Aspmyra Stadion. Rosenborg is now deciding what to do, but it seems that the conclusion is only one: sell the striker . In Trondheim supporters are tired of his temperament , his character instinctive and violent. In September he was arrested and imprisoned in similar circumstances. So mr. Perry is forced to put into Soderlund , in the usual 4-3-3 : Alexander Lund Hansen - Jonas Svensson , Stefan Strandberg , Tore Reginiussen , Jørgen Skjelvik - Morten Gamst Pedersen , Daniel Berntsen , Mike Jensen - Mikkel Diskerud , Alexander Søderlund , Riku Riski . 
The hosts hit the ground running, and at 7 ' minute scored with Laajab : lightning counter-attack team by Bodo, orchestrated by one of the former player, Trond Olsen (the other is our Daniel Berntsen , who grew up in the opposing team). Strandberg forget the attacker in the yellow shirt behind him, wich could be face to face with Lund Hansen , and overcame him with a delightful lob. Another goal conceded on a counterattack by the team of Trondheim, who can not find defensive solidity. Even Strandberg , as Ronning and Reginiussen, is not able to play as central defender: too many mistakes during the match, and in both goals there is something he erred.
Fortunately, however, Rosenborg reacted , and at 11' equalized with Morten Gamst Pedersen, the hit of the winter market. Mix intercepted the ball to Soderlund, wich suddenly fed it to Gamst. Powerful shot unstoppable for Londak : 1-1 . After the draw , Rosenborg is the absolute ruler of the race, and is likely to go ahead immediately on advantage. Gamst Pedersen crossed the ball on a free kick to Strandberg, wich was lonely in the penalty area, but he get a goal very very easy wrong. He couldn't atone for the fatal mistake that has made him an accomplice in the first opponent's goal. Rosenborg is alive and seeking the advantaging goal , and the goal came at 63 ' with Soderlund ; the striker who had replaced Bille Nielsen scored the 1-2 on a defensive inattention of Bodo Glimt , who get the offside trap wrong and left the Norwegian forward lonely . Gamst Pedersen gave back the assist that led to the first goal hitting the ball with the chest to Soderlund , the former Haugesund player made no mistake , and Rosenborg scored . The team of Trondheim intended to close as soon as possible the match, and the opportunities arrived : from free kick , with the usual duo Gamst - Soderlund, but this time the striker failed to tuck the ball into the net with his head , thanks to a splendid saved made by the goalkeeper . Still Gamst , served this time not by Soderlund but by Mix Diskerud : the ball went out . 

As usual , for the most cruel law of football , who does not close the game, undergoes a draw , and so it was: at 81 ' Bodo entered in the box, with a beautiful lob Richards overcame his direct opponent feeding the ball to Konradsen, which crossed from the end line to the center of the box. Ndiaye incredibly missed to score and the ball went to Olsen, who found himselfto be in front ot Lund Hansen and didn't hesitate to hit in the net. What is most disconcerting in this action is Strandberg , who saw that Ndiaye was going to kick, and so he turned to cover himself, and didn't realize that instead the ball came near him , leaving Olsen free to score. Bad day for the central defender, very bad . Rosenborg fell asleep , and on the wings the Bodo Glimt players did what they want , easily surpassing the old fullback and thirty-seven aged Dorsin, making dangerous cross into the box . Not only: at the last minute Bodo Glimt also risked to score again , always with Olsen, who was retained by Riski when he was about to shoot. The referee stopped the match and cautioned the Finnish wing of Rosenborg . At the end of the match Olsen said : "We should scored the 3-2 if I had not been held there . Richards and I were ready to pull , and it was almost a goal done. " So Ended up , 2-2 , but the Rosenborg continues to go through the tunnel of the crisis. How to get out ?

Whistles at Lerkendal

Rosenborg could not start worse. A bad game , where opponents (Viking ) has dominated for almost all the time, except in those ten minutes that the Rosenborg managed to score two goals.

And so the team from Trondheim has to face the music with this first false step . The first half was completely dominated by the team from Stavanger; in the first ten minutes, Viking was able to go close to scoring twice , first with a cross that went across the penalty area, then with a shot that went out. Viking was the uncontested ruler of the field , it was able to monopolize the game during the entire first half , brushing several times the goal . Rosenborg was hard to get out of its own half of the field, with a non-existent midfield that made everything easier for the opponents . Svensonn looked like a ghost in the field, and Jensen helped few times the defense. Moreover, the choice of Perry has been to not put into the field from the first minute Mikkel Diskerud.

At 24 ' the first incredible opportunity for Viking : the central striker Berisha was spoon fed by a companion and found himself face to face with Lund Hansen ( that replaced the injured Örlund ) , who was able to wrest the ball from his feet , making a miracle. Rosenborg did not seem to be playing in a game . The two central defenders still do not understand each other, as had happened during the last friendly , and Berisha was very good at take advantage of the situations. Fortunately for us, the number ten always wrong at kicking, even if was very dangerous when he was in the penalty area, when he got over, with a disarming easiness, throughout the defense. He looked like Messi, but he ain’t him.

At 32 ' still Berisha, wich Saturday was very inspired, with a in a serpentine pattern came face -to-face (again) with Hansen , who saved a weak shot easily and centrally located.

Rosenborg was not concentrated , got wrong so much, but the main problem was that it was impalpable. It looked more like a training match than the first round of a league that you wanna win. Surely, with this performance, you will never win it, it will be hard only to be protagonists. Just an opportunity for Rosenborg in the first half : at 40 ' a cross, on the developments of a corner, there was a small scrum in the penalty area, but the ball slammed twice on the defensive wall pulled over by Viking , first on a close shot by Söderlund, then on a shot from the long-range by Tore Reginiussen.

The first half ended 0-0 , but it must be admitted that the Viking deserved to be in the lead , maybe even with two goals. Perry finally realized that something had to be changed , and put into Mix Diskerud and Dorsin , respectively in place of Svensonn and Skjlevik . I don’t dare to say that they played badly , they had just not played.

In the second half all of us expected a reaction from Rosenborg , we expected to see they fought. Well it didn’t happend: the second half began as the first ended. At 50 ' Viking was again close to scoring with the usual Berisha ( just remind you : he is not a talent , it was the defense that was embarrassing), which on the development of a cross was once again alone in front of Hansen , who made a miracle for the second time.

Thirty minutes before the end finally something snapped, and the Rosenborg changed gears and started to become dangerous . On a cross from the corner Ronning tried to redeem him for the disastrous game with a header, but it was out (even if he had scored he would not have redeemed for the bad performance ) . Even Riku Riski made him seen (after having been in the shadow for the entire first half) with a shot that ended up. Grow more and more the doubts about the former player of Hoenefoss . The team from Trondheim began to appear more often in the frontline of the opponents penalty area , until at 64’ Viking defensive inattention led to the goal scored by Diskerud : Bille intercepted a ball deflected from the defense, feed it to the U.S. midfielder who scored with a powerful shot: 1-0 for Rosenborg . The goal gave us more confidence, and at  68 ' we scored again, with another player that started from the bench, Dorsin.

Bille passed the ball on the wing to Gamboa , who tried to cross to the center but the ball was picked with an hand by an opponent. Pedersen was in charge of beating the free-kick and crossed to Dorsin, that headed and scored: 2-0 .

A terrible match put into the right railroad tracks by Diskerud and Dorsin, both of them started on the bench. A day that seemed to ended in the best possible way, with the three points. And this seemed obvious, until five minutes from the end. At 73 ' the coach of Viking Jonevret entered Bodvarson in place of the tired Berisha. Both of the coach were very inspired, because even Bodvarson ( as Diskerud and Dorsin for Rosenborg) went to the goal . Twice in five minutes.

Rosenborg thought it was able to control the match, but at 87' the new entry Bodvarson stood alone in front of the goalkeeper, who failed to make the third miracle, and was overcome with a beautiful lob . The Viking began to believe in the draw, and the draw arrived at the ninetieth , with a long ball from midfield that overcame the entire defense of Rosenborg . Ingason headed the ball , leaving the usual Bodvarson lonely in front of Hansen, and for the second time overcame the goalkeeper with a delightful lob .

A defensive inattention threw Rosenborg inside the tunnel of the crisis, even if the Tippeligaen is still long . There are many questions, few answers : why Perry put into the field only in the second half Diskerud and Dorsin? Why he still goes on playing with this module? Why the defense is always deployed in a bad way? It obvious that a player like Ronning is not yet ready to return to the levels he had before, and the pair formed with Reginiussen could be decisive. For the opponents .
