Full clash in Football-Norway before the match of destiny Glimt – NRK Sport – Sports news, results and broadcast schedule

Posted On: August 24, 2022

To illustrate, what it would mean for Glimt if they succeeded against Dinamo Zagreb:

Sweden’s Malmö, by comparison, earned around NOK 327 million following their participation in the group stage of last season’s Champions League, according to Fotbollskanalen.

And that’s despite the fact that there is only one point for Sweden in six games.

He said little about the prize money in the pot if Glimt secures a ticket to the world’s best club tournament.

When you also include the financial gains that Norway has had after the European success they had in the Serie A, it goes without saying that the reigning league champions are starting to have an economy that few can match at the Eliteserien.

Full discord in Football-Norway

There are differing opinions as to whether Glimt’s participation in the Champions League will be good for Norwegian football.

The NRK rounds that have been carried out in the biggest Glimt rivals in the Eliteserien show itself club For the most part, Glimt hopes to succeed, while supporters mostly, hope Glimt will succeed.

In front of NRK, Kjetil Knutsen answered the following when asked if he thought it was good for Norwegian football in general if his team qualified for the Champions League:

– That’s a good question. If there is a difference of opinion about it, I don’t think they understand the importance of a Norwegian team participating in Europe and that we are actually developing Norwegian football together. There is a fairly simple answer to that. “Those who consider it a negative thing for Norwegian football, I think they need to think again and maybe understand what it means for a Norwegian team to participate in Europe,” Knutsen told NRK.

Would it be good for Norwegian football if Glimt qualified for the Champions League now?

– Of course, we wish Glimt success

Eirik Bjørn, general manager at Vikings, is on the same wavelength as coach Glimt. He crossed his fingers for Norway’s progress on Wednesday night.

– Of course, we wish Bodø/Glimt to qualify for the Champions League. This is great for Norwegian football because we have a team that goes into the group stage, and getting a team into the world’s best club tournament will mean a lot to our league rankings and at least the reputation of Norwegian football, Bjørnø confirmed to NRK.

He believes one of the main arguments is that en a higher league ranking will mean more places in European tournaments for the Norwegian team in the coming season.

– En days may we who benefit from their success. The value of players sold from Norway will probably also increase with Norway’s participation in the Champions League, so here’s a lot of synergies that it’s hoped Bod will benefit from, believes Bjørn.

– We have to stop being naive

He did not get the support of his own supporters.

Roar kerlund, leader of the Viking horde, certainly didn’t support Glimt on Wednesday night.

– We must stop with the naivety that collective success benefits Norwegian football. Norwegian football needs people in the stands, to talk about during lunch breaks and to have kits from the Norwegian team that the kids wear on the school grounds. You get this by creating a sense of belonging, loyalty, and interest. Not by cheering each other on, the kerlund begins.

– Does anyone in Norway think that Brighton fans cheer for Manchester City in Europe because it’s positive for English football that City are successful? Norwegian football doesn’t get better by cheering each other on, it becomes less attractive and creates less competition, he believes.

Viking supporters are not alone in wishing Glimt a break in Wednesday’s ill-fated game.

Kanari-Fansen, Klanen, Godsetunionen and Kjernen also answered the same thing (see fact box).

This is what supporters of Glimt’s rivals think

Erling Rostvåg, spokesperson for the Klan support VIF:

– We don’t want that (for Glimt to qualify for the Champions League). The amount they later received was so large that it would make it difficult for Vålerenga to find the right players in the years to come. From a purely tactical point of view, there may be something to do in the long run, but requires that things work out well for Enga for a period of time as well.

Tony Johansen, spokesman for Kanari-Fansen:

– No, we don’t hope for progress. It was because they would receive several hundred million in their account if they managed to do this.

Truls W. Schøne, spokesman for Godsetunionen.

– The only team I hope to qualify for the Champions League is Strømsgodset. If the other teams qualify, they’ll get huge resources that no one in Norway has, which in turn means economic gains we haven’t seen since the 90s/00s (if not bigger). This again means that it is difficult to close the gap for all of us. They can once again bring in players from the top shelf, being the best in everything from training facilities, player size, stadiums and staff. Yes, it’s “dripping” a few kroner at the club they get players from, but we’d like to keep that to ourselves. The only advantage for other clubs is UEFA points for some teams in Europe. If they qualify, it’s deserved, but whether I want them to do it is something else.

Espen Viken, spokesperson for RBK Kjernen’s supporters:

– Rosenborg should focus on himself. It’s not too bad that teams other than Molde are doing well. This raises the level of Norwegian football. The Kjernen Council does not support Glimt. But we have 2,000 opinions in the supporters club.

Roar kerlund, leader of the VikingHordene:

– For Norwegian football, those who support Bodø/Glimt should hope that they qualify, and no one else. We must stop with the naivety that collective success benefits Norwegian football. Norwegian football needs people in the stands, to talk about during lunch breaks and to have kits from the Norwegian team that the kids wear on the school grounds. You get this by creating a sense of belonging, loyalty, and interest. Not by encouraging each other.

– Does anyone in Norway think that Brigthon fans are cheering for Man. City in Europe because it is positive for English football that City succeed? Norwegian football does not thrive on encouraging each other, it becomes less attractive and creates less competition. This is not an opinion based on envy, a card that many people use, especially in Bod. When you ask a support manager you get an answer from people who are loyal to their own club, we are not club bitches.

Mats Mathiassen, member of the Molde Tornekrattet support council:

– Tornekrattet don’t want to take a position on this issue, we concentrate on our own team.

But Eirik Bjørn at Vikings had the backing of the club manager at another elite series club.

– Wehappy that the Norwegian club is performing well

Erik Espeseth, general manager of Vålerenga, agrees with his colleague from Stavanger that it would be good for Norwegian football if Glimt qualified for the Champions League group stage.

– For the Norwegian football club, it is important that the national team perform well and participate in the championship, including the very positive fact that the under-21 national team has once again qualified for the EC play-offs next year. In addition, it is important for the Norwegian club to perform well in Europe, as this will make future qualification easier – of which Vålerenga aims to be a part. It will also open up the possibility for more teams to participate in the qualifiers, the VIF boss said.

Ole Erik Stavrum, general manager at Molde, and general manager of Lillestrem Robert Lauritsen, answered almost the same:

– We hope all teams qualify for the group stage in Europe. This is important and positive for Norwegian football, Stavrum wrote in an email to NRK.

– I hope more teams in Norway qualify for various UEFA play-offs, this is good for Norwegian football, agrees LSK-Lauritsen.

– Exemplary club management

Magne Jordan Nilsen, general manager of Strømsgodset, believes Glimt’s success will create added value and help make Eliteserien more attractive.

– It has also resulted in increased revenue for the club through a solidarity fund from UEFA, Jordan Nilsen pointed out to NRK.

He said Godset was inspired by what Glimt did.

– It demonstrates what is possible with hard and purposeful work, as well as the ability and knowledge to make good choices and stick to a clear strategy over time. The exemplary management of the club in which they are now being rewarded, said manager Godset.

RBK with a diffuse response

Tore Bjørseth Berdal, acting general manager at Rosenborg, would not answer whether he backed Glimt in Wednesday’s game.

But he credits Aspmyra’s competitors if they get it right:

– Glimt have done a fantastic job getting to where they are now. And they do so with sporting achievements – on their own – without significant contributions from wealthy investors. If they make it through, we can only congratulate them on a fantastic achievement. “Then we at Rosenborg have to make sure we perform well enough to get a similar opportunity in the near future,” Berdal told NRK.

The match between Dinamo Zagreb and Bodø/Glimt starts on Wednesday’s match at 21:00. It is broadcast on TV 2 or can be followed on the radio on NRK Sport.
