Europa League: won after the Rekdal massacre

  • Rosenborg 1-0 Alanyaspor (0-0)

Win or Lose: That was Rosenborg’s starting point in the Europa League third qualifying round tonight.

The rival was Alanyaspor, who opened the series in Turkey with two wins.

At halftime in Lerkendal, the teams were so far apart in what was a very weak round from Rosenborg. But then the home team got ahead of Anders Konradsen in the 59th minute.

Rosenborg rose considerably after the break. And then a lot of things happened.

Just seven minutes after the score, Konradsen received his second yellow card. The referee did not hesitate and sanctioned a penalty in favor of Efecan Karaca.

The visitors pressed when they were in the lead, but failed to score. Thus, it ended 1-0, without Rosenborg impressing.

HamKam’s coach, Kjetil Rekdal, was very critical during the break. He was hired by VG TV, which had the rights to the party.

– Rosenborg lacks aggressiveness and pace, Rekdal said.

– You can criticize the Rosenborg. But this is the level they are at. We have seen it for a long time. Rosenborg lacks intensity, lacks rhythm, lacks aggressiveness and lacks interaction.

Rekdal continued:

– Rosenborg must build a new team. So it’s worrying that the players entering are well into their teens. Torgeir Børven is a good buy for the Eliteserien scale, but internationally he has never tried anything. And then they bring home Hólmar Örn Eyjólfsson, who is 30 years old. Why not start playing with Edvard Tagseth and Emil Ceide?

Rosenborg still did the most important thing tonight. They won, after coming back hard in the second half, something that Rekdal also pointed out. And now he awaits the Europa League playoff against PSV Eindhoven.

Khouma Babacar was sent off by Alanyaspor shortly before the end.

The case is being updated!
