SE OVERVIEW OF NORWEGIAN FOREIGN PROS AT THE END OF THE CASE.
Holmlia boy played 24 matches and scored three goals for Vålerenga. Now, after some less successful loan spell in Stabæk and Ull / Kisa, he finally succeeded. In Macedonian football. And Thursday night he plays the return match of Europa League playoff.
Chuma Anene signed for Rabotnicki last summer and has since scored 12 goals in 34 matches for the club from Skopje. He has had success, and the team came in second place in the series last season. At the start of this season Ancestors started six of eight games, has been involved in every game and scored three goals. Tonight waiting Rubin Kazan in away from home in the battle for a place in Europe League group stage.
The first match at home in Skopje ended 1-1.
– Rubin Kazan is a manageable opponent. Especially considering that we struck out Trabzonspor in the previous round. We fear at least nothing and we have nothing to lose, he said with great confidence before the home game.

– A spontaneous choice
So why were there just Macedonian football on Chuma Anene?
Although he has not a good answer. Norway is the 25th place in the UEFA ranking, while Macedonia in turn down to 40. space. So the fall should have been big, but Rabotnicki has proven to be a good choice for the Norwegian.
– It was a pretty spontaneous choice. In the subconscious lay it well several reasons that contributed to it. I thought I had nothing to lose at it in terms of the promises that were made in connection with this transition.
– But how is your life now? How was the integration?
– Everyday life is much better than it was, it certainly is. When I moved to Macedonia, was the first time I had been on their own. I lived alone, and even though it’s part of growing up, so it was difficult. I was surprisingly comfortable with it and did not homesick. But there is still something about safety in a world that makes you unable to perform. There was a lot of insecurity here. One must be strong mentally if we are to go far as a football player, and that’s where I struggled most and still struggling most. I have become much stronger, but I still have a long way to go. It reflects itself really well in the season, where there really is not loosened until the end, explains Chuma Anene.
Norwegian football chopped better
Chuma Anene admits that Norwegian football is a bit better than Macedonian football but that the football played in Macedonia is better than what most people think. It has been reflected in the club’s success in the Europa League this season.
– Macedonian football is better than most people can imagine, and I say this not only because I play here. The Norwegian league in whole is a notch better. I made plays and two other teams hold good Tippeliga standard. It may be well also look at the way we do it in Europe. The rest of the teams I’d say keep everything between OBOS-league level and low-level Soccer.
– Are there any teams in Norway you’re watching from Macedonia?
– Vålerenga are closest to me. Ever since I went on the first La Manga tour with the club at age 15 I always followed with additional, in spite of how I did it or how felt treated. I also have a good relationship with some players there, such as Ghayas Zahid, he says.
Now he just wants to look forward to a new season in Rabotnicki where he hopes he can develop even more and be noticed. Maybe it even gets Europa League group game at the boy from Holmlia.
Get stuck in the layer
Norway currently has 88 players and five coaches in foreign clubs located in the top two divisions. It is a respectable number, but all is not fixed in their teams, nor do they play among those at the very top teams.
The last may not necessarily be negative, mean football expert Lars Tjærnås.
– Each individual is primarily responsible for themselves and their careers. I want to Norwegian football’s best, and hope that as many are, so our league the best possible. But they shall go, it can certainly be a good solution to go to leagues that are unglamorous, yet maintain high standards. What matters is playing at the highest level, he said.
The coaches make success
Åge Hareide and Malmö Champions League advancement is the most recent example of it which is actually a Norwegian success abroad.
And he is not alone. Henning Berg won the league in his first season with Legia Warsaw, and took silver last season. Jørn Andersen caught up with his Austria Salzburg. Ronny Deila had a giant letdown with Celtic Tuesday, but he has been winning the league in Scotland.
– I am among those who believe it enriches Norwegian football that we have coaches and players who travel abroad. But – a pretty long life with football has taught me that the only definitive is that there is no blueprint in question whether it is right or not to go. It depends on many different things for each one. But I think it is particularly gratifying that we have coaches out there, and they have success, say Tjærnås.
– Must aim at right shelf
Recently We have seen players like Adama Diomande, Muhamed Keita, Mads Stokkelien, Mohammed Abdellaoue and Anders Konradsen return to elite series from abroad. Keita the only club with success when his Lech Poznan took the league title ahead of Henning Berg and Legia Warszawa.
– It applies to aim at the right shelf. Here also agents responsibilities. Many big clubs take in a high number of players, and hope some of them strikes. It must be done a thorough job in advance from both the agent and player himself. Is it realistic with time, thus development? If not, then choose a club on the lower shelf. Brede Hangeland is a good example, which ran an intermediate step via Copenhagen first, says Tjærnås.
