Gauseth apologized for the television tirade – VG

The brown jerseys locked themselves in the locker room and had an emergency meeting immediately after the 2-0 loss at Sarpsborg. At 11:19 p.m. on Saturday night, they finally went from the locker room to the bus.

Mjøndalen has two wins in the last 13 matches and has scored by far the fewest goals in the Elite Series. Only Aalesund is at the end of the table.

– I started by regretting being so hard during the break. I meant what I said, but I think it came out too harshly. Then the group of players told me that “we will bear it”. This is how people react with ambition and pride in what they do, says Christian Gauseth when he finally comes out of the closet.

It was in the break interview with Dplay, when Sarpsborg was already leading 2-0, that Mjøndalen’s profile came with his tirade:

– There are people here who don’t seem to want to play. They have to get off the track, because they have nothing to do here. People who are so scared and anxious that they lose all passes during a round. It is absolutely amazing that it works. They are just dating! They are dating! in Gauseth.

He got what he wanted: Coach Vegard Hansen made three substitutions during the break.

After the match, Mjøndalen’s coach criticizes Gauseth’s explosion:

– Since I don’t name anyone, it wasn’t so bad. But we must not look for scapegoats, this is collective, it is a mental problem. If there is anyone who should have criticism, it is me who has brought in these players to train them and design the match plan, Vegard Hansen tells VG.

Christian Gauseth describes the crisis meeting at Sarpsborg Stadium as follows:

– We in the group of players had a long meeting. This is a group that I am proud to lead. We are a group that gets embarrassed and recognizes that what we do during the day is not good enough.

– We want to apologize to everyone who is happy in Mjøndalen, everyone who cares about us, everyone who finances this. We recognize that we are not good enough and that we must turn every stone to turn this together. This is not a group that has given, and we believe that we will achieve it together.

– What did you come up with?

– We concluded that we should do some internal movements.

– Which?

– We’ll keep it internal.

Christian Gauseth himself played his first game since July 5. He declined to comment on whether he came out of the game without problems after a long-term injury.

Sarpsborg’s Jonathan Lindseth, who has a past in Mjøndalen, reacts to Gauseth’s television tirade as follows:

– I know Christian. They get to hear what he says and not how he says it.

– Fortunately for Mjøndalen, there are several teams that do not score points. But they need to start earning points soon.

Goalkeeper Sosha Makani (33) avoided several setbacks in the second half. It says this about the players meeting after the defeat:

– We cannot be indifferent to this. We have to find a solution to the difficult situation in which we find ourselves. If we win a match, we regain confidence in ourselves. Now we have to work hard in training.

– We are not capable of creating scoring chances. Some of the players are young and scared. Now we must come together and find a solution to this. I have faith in these players and in this team, says the Iranian.
