Even the opponent had to admit that there is something very special about Vålerenga’s talent.
VÅLERENGA-ODD 2-0
INTILITY ARENA (Nettavisen): Vålerenga is fully involved in the battle for the medals in the Elite Series behind the magnificent Bodø / Glimt. In Sunday’s 2-0 home win over Odd after goals from Herolind Shala and Mathias Vilhjalmsson, the Oslo club once again showed solid rhythm on their own ground.
Led by a brilliantly obvious Osame Sahraoui before the break, who sometimes turned around with what was from the opponents, the club’s new super talent ensured that Vålerenga is now on point with Rosenborg in third place, with six games. remaining of the season.
One who especially noted the young man’s qualities was Odd’s right-back Espen Ruud. After the match, the 36-year-old drew praise for his 164-centimeter dribble.
– It’s unbelievably good. A young player who has conquered the Elite Series. We knew about him and his qualities. Of course, he showed some of that today, Ruud tells Nettavisen after Sunday’s game.

– I spoke on the way
The veteran with more than 250 games in the Eliteserien says he thinks the Vålerenga player seems like a humble guy.
– We had a little dialogue during the game and it’s nice. He seemed like a very nice boy, she says.
The protagonist himself confirms that the two had a good tone throughout the game, despite several tough duels.
– Ruud was a good guy. In fact, we congratulate each other on what we did well, Sahraoui tells Nettavisen with a smile after the match.
Holmlia’s boy clearly liked the home game scene at the Intility Arena on Sunday night. Especially before the break, he was really able to show his qualities.
– I feel like I had a good first round and I was able to play a bit. What I like the most is having the ball, challenging and playing. It’s sad that I didn’t get a score, but the most important thing was that we got all three points as it’s so even in the medal match, he says.

Just before the break, with the home team 1-0, a situation arose that characterizes the qualities of the 19-year-old with Moroccan roots. Inside the 16-meter Odds line, Sahraoui turned around with two opponents, who did not keep up with the youngster’s feint record and body control. Only a good save by Sondre Rossbach prevented the goal.
– That I didn’t get it in the end was bitter. They were far away, you could say that, he says about the situation that sent two opponents to the well-known kiosk queue.
Throughout the match, it became clear that the Skiens club became increasingly aware of the little ball artist. Odd’s players were late on several occasions to situations Sahraoui was involved in.
The same 19-year-old has no problem with that.
– I like that they come to me hard, then I annoy them mentally and then I put them out of combat, he explains.

Fagermo: – Impressed
Coach Dag-Eilev Fagermo is also clearly impressed with the level Sahroaui has shown this season. From being a completely unknown magazine before the season, the Oslo boy has established himself as one of the most exciting players in the Elite Series in 2020. He is also well into the U21 national team.
With the coach, bragging rights are loose.
– The loop football they play in Holmlia has something for that. He’s so agile, feints and footwork from right to left. I am impressed with that. You just have to use it correctly. Sometimes I think he has dribbled too much, but at the same time he is smart and if he finds his balance he is at a very high level. What he does in the first place is some of the best I’ve seen from a winger in the Eliteserien, Fagermo tells Nettavisen after the 2-0 win against the old club.

Now it smells like medals again in Oslo East after several short years in the capital. Sahraoui is aware that the team has more confidence in itself under the leadership of the new coach.
– I feel like we’ve broken a new barrier. Even though I wasn’t that involved last year, we thought a lot that we should be stable all the time now. We have to play as we have done here at home, then we will win a medal, concludes Sahraoui to Nettavisen.
After the national team break, Vålerenga travels to Aalesund in search of three new points against the decided table jumbo.
