Perry, are you kidding me?

That's incredible. Ok, you won, Perry. You're winning, and maybe you were right when you talked about the pshysical condition of our players. But, are you kidding me? Incredible, the more I criticize you, more you win, and when I say you're a good coach (very rarely) you lose. How does it possible Perry?! Ok, I don't wanna be so egocentric, surely my words don't touch anyone, but just to...

Perry you're bad. You're ugly and maleficient. You stink.

Now win.

The Saelnes' hoop. A scream for a victory

That's finally what I wanted to see! Courage, anger, desire to fight and win, even suffering. And all this has been well summarized by the hoop, the scream of Saelnes after the first goal. But it was also visible in the shot of Mikkelsen, shot full of anger and desire to win that damned game. Well done guys, this is your victory. Deplorable behaviour adopted by Strandberg, the team cannot be never left alone. But, my point of view does not change: Hoftun and Perry have to go away, because a victory today may unfortunately mean a defeat more devastating in the future, and this is what every fan wants to avoid.

Open Letter to Mr. Per Joar Hansen

On "Adressa.no" were written six points that explain why Perry should go away. What I noticed, and interested me, were the points about the training: this is the main reason why Perry lost the trust among the players. I read:  low-intensity exercise, uncertainty 
formation, tactics and team selection. I wrote something about, when I said that Perry was a liar when he said that before the summer the team should have had the best physical condition (and the latest matches showed us the truth).

So, Perry, How long must we wait before you understand that your sad adventure in Rosenborg is finished? First you will understand it, the best will be for everyone. You have everyone against you: players, staff, supporters. What do you want to do? 
Think about it tonight. 

With love, 

Mondo Rosenborg

Rosenborg wins but doesn't convince.

Rosenborg back to win after having drawn its first two matches of the season. Two games that should have win easily , but from which it brought home only two points. This was beacuse of a defense very weak, that allowed opponents to score easily. So the choice of Mr. Hansen to replace Ronning (author of two bad games), with Strandberg . Instead of us Odd came from a draw with the newly arrived Sandnes Ulf , and with the resounding victory at home against Molde, one of the favorite teams to win the Tippeligaen , after the fluctuating season of last year. The match against Odd was a game that Rosenborg had to win. Fortunatly it was, but the risk of drawing ( or even losing ) this time was enormous , against a team that is able to create problems to the opponent. Rosenborg made it seen in the opponent's box and scored from a corner kickat 4' with Strandberg (once again Mr. Hansen nailed the change , as had happened in the opening match against Viking , although there had been changes during the game) . Already in the other two matches Rosenborg started in a very strong way, going in the opponent's box in order to score, but this didn't happened, and this is the difference between us and the good teams in Europe. Then Rosenborg has the unfortunate idea to leave the field to the opponents , and so they began to attack . Rosenborg freaked out, and the opponents were very close to score the 1-1- In short , apart from the initial goal , the game seemed to be canalized in the wrong railways , as against Viking and Aalesund . Unlike the other two teams , in Odd lacked a little of determination (and especially class) that prevented Rosenborg to make another bad show in front of their home supporters . Fortunatly we have a great goalkeeper, maybe the best keeper of our league, Lund Hansen. After a match played at a pace quite bland , Odd was done under in the last minute , and 83 ' Strandberg risked to ruin his day of glory , making a foul in the penalty area . The penalty kick was beaten by Rashani , who kicked central, and so Hansen could reject the ball easily. The real miracle happened later, when, on the rebound , Rashani hit the ball sure that he would have scored, but Hansen made a incredible save , which proved crucial to the team in Trondheim. At the last minute Nicki Bille Nielsen fixed the issue , and starting on the offside line, overcame the Odd goalkeeper and closed the match . At the end of the match the supporters of Lerkendal Stadion breathe a sigh of relief, but this time he could end badly.

Ok, we had to win and we did it, but we've to pay attention. We have lotta lack of concentration during the match, and this could nullify the work Rosenborg does during the week. This is a problem that Perry have to better, because win a battle is important indeed, but we wanna win the war.

Zibaldone: 9 March 2014

Hi everybody, today I've to talk about the friendly match against the Levanger, the former team of almost half of RBk team. Ok, I overdid, but many players played with the Levanger, before they went into out team. They were Svensonn and Ronning that played yesterday. 
But now, le'ts plucked up the courage and tell the match. I must do it. Unfortunatly.
First of all: we won. That's no obvious. We won 5-2. That's seems we didn't have any problems. This is wrong, we had many problems, and we had problems playing against a team wich surely hadn't many talents.
Let's analyze.

The squad.

We played with the usual 4-3-3, but Perry put a very offensive squad, one of the most offensive I've ever seen. The midfield and the attack were formed by five strikers, or almost forwards: Helland, Chibuike, Mikkelsen, Soderlund and Bille. The question come it easily: why Perry didn't try the 4-2-3-1 module? It was the perfect day to test it. Indeed he put almost all the forwards he had (but Riski that was injuried). I don't know why he didn't try the 4-2-3-1, but it was. 
The defenders were Midtsjo (another player tested in the place of Gamboa, after the debacle of Mikkelsen), Strandberg (substitued by Ronning, wich finally played after the bad accident he had last summer), Dorsin finally in the right place as fullback and the "new entry" in the role, Jensen. Jensen played as a central defender, but it was clear that he couldn't play there. Another epic fail signed Perry, fortunatly during the pre-season. Some supporters said that in this matches we had to use the youngsters, in order to gain them more experiences. I don't agree with them, in our situation we have to find out many way of playing, in order to win when we won't have Gamboa and Mix, or anyone else. So we have to try our players in other roles. But Perry every time got wrong. You can be wrong with Mikkelsen, with Dorsin, but sooner or later you have to do the right thing. Jensen is a midfielder, and there he had to play. We had problem, of course, on the opponents cross, because our defenders (expecially Jensen) were in the wrong place in the wrong time. 
And the opponents were not very good at playing, we all know this. And we could see it when Soderlund scored. Ok, If you are a bit smart you are able to comprehend that I didn't like very much Soderlund, but that's my problem, don't attach importance to it. Soderlund indeed could wrong almost two goals, that were more difficult to got wrong that to scored. Lonely in front of the net, he was able to head in the wrong way and not to score. That was incredible. 
We wrong many things in that match, but the most significative was the one that brought to the 2-3. Sormo was able to wrong a very easy passing, feeding the ball to the opponents that, he couldn't believe it, scored. 
But Sormo is young and he have to gain some experiences, isn't him?
About youngesters, we could see the young, (I would say the kid) John Hou, that played with the first team. A dream that came true for him. We hope to have found out a good player.
Mix played as an halfback, and he was the only midfielder that could defend, instead of attacking. Mix wasn't allowed by Hoftun and the medical sector to play with his nation team against the Ukraine, because he couldn't play the last two matches, because he was injuried. Mix was a bit disappointed, but played the same. 
I was disappointed by Bille, that played very bad, but he wasn't his fault. Perry made him play as a wing, and he's not able to play in that position, and we saw it.
I just want, in order to conclude the analysis, to talk about Midstjo. Maybe we have found out a good fullback, a good substitute. He had good overview, good passing, calm with the ball, and he was extremely good to challenge the man. I've to remind you we played against Levanger, but indeed he played well.

In this week we bought a player but lost another one. Brede Moe went to the Bodo Glimt, because according to him, in this team couldn't show him off the good player he is. 
But we finally bought Gamst Pedersen, that yesterday had the conference press, and said that he's very ambitious, and he wants to win everything with the Rosenborg. We hope this. 
But what can we do with another wing? We already have Mikkelsen, Helland and Riku. Ok, he has experience, but he's old too. Did Hoftun the right choice? We've just seen in these years the "good" choice he did, but I'm hopeful. Gamst indeed has problems right now, and according to the society it would be foolish to start too hard and make him play, but within reasonably short time we'll probably get him fit to play.
