• Follow today’s May 16th round in our football studio!
MOLDE (Dagbladet): Surrounded by blue sky, green trees and white mountains located Aker Stadium and reflected in the glare of the Moldefjord.
Although not an artist could constructed painting Molde anything more beautiful, but the idyllic image before football feast day is an incorrect picture.
Reigning champions Molde is six points behind relegation Prediction Stabæk before tonight’s top match at Molde aesthetic venue.
– We’re a little hurt. We are disappointed that we proceeded against Lillestrom. We have under performing in several bortekaper and been subpar points wise, says Molde coach Tor Ole Skullerud Dagbladet.
– I had not thought that we would be six points behind Stabæk at this time. I must admit that I am surprised that they have accomplished. It’s just taking off his hat for Stabæk, says 44-year-old.
Staying at Stabekk
He knows today’s opponent well. Skullerud started his managerial career at Stabæk rival, Baerum, 2000. In fact, Molde coach continued his house on Members.
– I’ve lived there for 11 to 12 years and still lives there. I hold naturally to Molde now, but there are Members which is home to me and my family, telling Skullerud.
Therefore, he has for years lived with Stabæk as one of their biggest rivals .
– As Bærum trainer was Stabæk a strong rival, and the rivalry is still there. We dreamed to beat Stabæk, but they were at a different level than we were.
In Skullerud last year Bærum trainer was rival Stabaek dangerous good.
It was around when Daniel Nannskog, Veiga Pall Gunnarsson and Alanzinho began to introduce themselves and eventually came forth as one of the best ever attack trios in the Premier League.
– They were really good until I joined as Bærum coach, says Skullerud.
Ten years later he and Stabæk experienced much. Now head Skullerud what has been Norway’s best teams in recent years, while Stabæk is again trying to create a mesterlag with a new terrifying attack trio.
Laughing Barca comparison
Yesterday was Stabæk trio El-Ghanassy, Assante and Diomande compared with Barca trio Messi, Neymar and Suarez of Dagbladet commentator Morten Pedersen.
Skullerud laughs a little when he hears the comparison.
– Hehe. I have no comment to exactly what, but I have noted that the trio is in kind and must be stopped. They have a lot of speed, we must be able to cope. I think we will succeed, says Skulllerud.
Also Odd and Strømsgodset has been mentioned in the same sentence as Barcelona in the final.
– It might be a bit much Barca comparisons currently says Skullerud.
He has been impressed over Premier League overraskelslag and retracts the non Pedersen’s assertion that Stabæk is Norway’s best teams at the moment.
– It is difficult to answer now. It is quite possible that’s right. Based on points capture and flow, there is no doubt that Stabæk is a very hard nut to crack for us. We’ll see tonight, says Molde coach.
Stabæk have kept a clean sheet in six games in a row. If they were to do the same in Molde, the country might best home team will Bob Bradley men beat Vikings record from 1974.
– They are excellent both offensively and defensively. The statistics tell of a team that is difficult to score on, but I have the faith and hope that we will score at Stabæk.
This year’s trainer
Many thought Molde coach should have been addressed as this year’s coach last year, instead of Day Eilev Fagermo. This year is Stabæk coach Bob Bradley and his edifice on Nadderud probably best way.
– Now I’m not so concerned with such training awards as many might think. But in my head had perhaps Bradley deserved to be this year’s coach last year, says Skullerud.
– I do not know him personally, but I am very impressed by what he has achieved. He appears to be very experienced, thorough and professional football strong. I am certainly open to suggestions and inspiration from such a skilled trainer, says 44-year-old.
But Saturday he wants to beat the American. Molde are in fact very interested in turning back after the disappointment at Åråsen.
– We have evaluated LSK game as normal and got some answers. But the battle we are finished now. We choose instead to focus on the good home games we had, say Skullerud.
– Meanwhile I notice a player group that is very eager revenge now. The plan is that it should go beyond Stabæk. I can not wait. There will probably be packed stadium and a great atmosphere, hoping Molde boss.
