TRONDHEIM (VG) (Rosenborg-Mjøndalen 1–0) Åge Hareide (67) was satisfied with Rosenborg’s first win in five games, but not with the statements made by an injured Pål André Helland (30) before the game .
Almost five minutes into extra time, top scorer Kristoffer Zachariassen (26) ensured that the hope of a bronze medal and a European Cup match lives on for Rosenborg. During the post-match press conference, Hareide expressed relief and joy.
But when Hareide was confronted with the statements that an injured Pål André Helland had made to Adresseavisen the day before the game, the temperature began to rise. In the interview, Helland compares his own team to Bodø / Glimt, noting that the league champion has very clear roles on the field and very clear requirements for each role.

– A top-level club should have its own developed style of play. There we are after Bodø / Glimt, Molde and Vålerenga right now. It will be the most important job by 2021, Helland tells Adresseavisen.

The hope of the medal is still alive for Rosenborg: – I don’t know if the fans like that, I say it, but against Molde we are helpless.
On the border
Hareide responds to this, saying that he has not read the case, but only the headline, the following:
– I don’t know what you mean by that, and I think you can take it with me instead of taking it outside. It’s a bit on the verge of what I tolerate, Hareide replies. Adresseavisen follow-up question After the match.
Hareide goes on to say that Helland should focus on staying injury-free, rather than talking to the press.
– You do not contribute at all, if you are injured all the time. It’s tiring for players to get in and out of the hospital and instead talk about how things should have been.
On Thursday night, Helland explained his comments:
– Like several of my teammates, they asked me what Rosenborg can and should do to close the gap with Glimt and Molde. I tried, like the others, to answer objectively as best I could what I meant. That we are currently a bit behind Glimt, Molde and Vålerenga in terms of play, but that during a good winter it was something we were able to catch up on, says Helland and continues:
– I also tried to apologize a bit for the lack of that, there has been a lot of in and out traffic, and that in a tight match schedule where we need points it is difficult to find time to master a style of play that will certainly come with time.
With Zachariassen’s late goal, Rosenborg avoided at least his fifth consecutive defeat. That’s exactly what Hareide doesn’t care about.
– I’m not very interested in these statistics. I have no melancholy.

Don’t roll the dice
In the match in which Rosenborg decided late to extra time, but without impressing, VG rolled the dice.
– I do not agree with that, for me it was quite entertaining. Did you see how we played in the first place and then you threw one at him? It was pretty exciting from the bench, but maybe it wasn’t for you, Hareide says in strong disagreement.
– What dice would you roll?
– I’m not rolling dice. That must be your job.
The 67-year-old was much more satisfied with the referee’s performance in today’s match than in the 1-0 loss to Vålerenga, when Sigurd Smehus Kringstad drew the ire of several Rosenborgers after showing Dino Islamovic and canceling the That would have been a belated Rosenborg equality.
– I get a little angry when things go against us with things that you cannot control; things that one does not master. But today I think the referee was fine. I told him I just made one mistake, and that was a corner, Hareide laughs.
