• Vålerenga Stabæk 0-2 (0-1)
ULLEVAAL (Dagbladet): It’s a long time since we stopped to wonder whether Bob Bradley is a very talented coach. Now we know he is very lucky too. But luck is the best friend in football. And the question now is what American’s skill and luck can lead to.
WHAT IS certain is that Bob Bradley is not on Nadderud next season. If coach-needy teams in England, Germany, Spain, France and Italy have skilled scouts at work, he is not on Nadderud as we enter August. For Bob Bradley is more than a coach without a defined football philosophy – he is primarily an extreme lagbygger.
As in almost magically manages to get the absolute best out of each player.
STABÆK HAD MAXIMUM flow when they beat Vålerenga at Ullevaal. And it’s the law of football. Yet I have no difficulty saying that in his view was deserved. For unlike Vålerenga – who produced and abused 15 clear cut chances – took Stabæk care of his.
Only then Vålerengas good first half hour was killed by a penalty.
Secondly, when Vålerengas good start to the second half was strangled by Ernest Asante fourth goal in four games.
Vålerenga HIGHEST LEVEL is very good. We saw in the first half against Strømsgodset, so we in the first round against Start and then we the gentle degrees the first 25 minutes of this match against Stabæk. But when it is not the goal of total domination all live soccer dangerous.
And when nil is all that good waste.
THERE ARE MANY ways to win football games. And the Stabæk beat Vålerenga on is not in any books. But even if Bob Bradley crew was sloppy, ustrukterte and repeatedly played himself in trouble the first half hour, you have to give the rearmost fours credit.
First and foremost for the way they are good at clearing away posts in its own box.
Secondly, for how they stood when Vålerenga almost drove them to submerge beyond the second half.
WE HAVE TALKED lot about Rosenborg counter force this spring. And some coaches (Day-Eilev Fagermo and Kjetil Rekdal) also baptized Kåre Ingebrigtsen series leaders for a counter punch. Okay so, Rosenborg are well on transition game. And they’ve scored 24 goals to seven games. But the question is whether Stabæk is an even more pronounced counter punch than Rosenborg.
And at its best – when ball pace and precision matched several simultaneous movements of large momentum on top – the question is whether they do not even better than Rosenborg too.
FOR TOP is the go extreme – guaranteed the highest in the Premier League. And behind has made perhaps the league’s best goalie in Mande Sayouba. And such a mix under the direction and pressure, where the opponent is forced to sell more and more to take up the slack, is deadly.
Had Stabæk scored the biggest chances at Ullevaal could they turned Vålerenga 4-0.
BOB BRADLEY LIKE not all the superlatives coming his way. He should just turn to. No matter how you twist and turn it Stabæk enormous successes his work. And already now, and although he would disappear for a bigger league and a much bigger club in the summer, I will bring the following statement to the table:
Bob Bradley’s year coach in the Premier League in 2015.
Although he only gets here half the season, he is this year’s coach in Tippeligaen 2015.
