On Saturday night, Erling Moe selected at home against Sandefjord, which is the surprise of the league from a point of view, in the same way that Molde is the disappointment of the season at the moment.
– You may need to see and reevaluate. Relationships, contemporaneity and that are not felt. When it’s like today, I have to rethink how I set this up here.
– Today we are so far from where we should be. We are just miserable during the entire fight. Here you need a solid dishwasher. This is an achievement that we cannot be aware of at all, Molde’s coach Erling Moe tells Eurosport after the match.
And there was something “dead” in Molde. Sandefjord was good at defending, led by match winner Marc Valés, but it looked like Molde was playing in syrup. The situation improved a bit after Erling Moe made three changes in the 56th minute, when Fredrik Aursnes, Magnus Wolff Eikrem and Eirik Hestad entered.
More happened in the middle of Sandefjord in just over half an hour than in the first hour, for Molde. Sandefjord behaved wisely, but he also made it easy, as predictable and un-resourceful as Molde was.

Ohi Omoijuanfo was asked what he thinks of Moe’s statements about the team’s reconsideration. He has started many of the games on the bench and has had the opportunity from the beginning against Sandefjord.
– It’s completely understandable. Those of us who sit a lot on the bench will show that we want to play, and then we will come up with this. I get it well, says Ohi, who describes the performance as “bad shit.”
Five yellow cards to a frustrated Molde player also speak of a team completely out of shape.
The winning goal came six minutes into the game, when Valés headed a post after a corner kick. The same man brought Molde down at the Sandefjord meet this summer too … And Sandefjord created more than the scoreboard, and they created more than Molde, at least until the fourth quarter.

“Molde always scores at home,” he says. And it’s also happened in every game since April 29, 2018, when Odd managed to stay close.
Jacob Storevik, the goalkeeper, and the rest of the Sandefjord team also did it at Aker Stadion, and earned a strong away win.
– We deserve respect in this league, and what our players show today why. They show that it is possible for a small team to play on the ground and play offensive soccer. I am proud of that, Sandefjord coach Marti Cifuentes told Eurosport after the match.
