Ullevaal Stadium (Dagbladet): Pressure rises on coach coaching staff (55) before the crucial European Championship qualifier against Bulgaria on Thursday night. Scant two years after Høgmo started in the job, criticizing Max-expert Bengt Eriksen 55-year-old for several missteps.
– It has been four wins in 19 attempts. It is not sparkling. If we look at Høgmo period there Well no one says that it has been awesome. It can in any case I have to say, says Eriksen told Dagbladet.
– pompous
When Høgmo was appointed Egil Olsen’s successor on 27 September 2013 he entered as a visionary coach with clear ideas and objectives which in practice would revolutionize the Norwegian way of playing.
Eriksen mean in turn that both rhetoric, procedures and working methods have been wrong.
– I thought it was difficult with accession speech, where the team was supposed to be a vessel that would be equally good on land and at sea. It seemed to me in many ways appeared pompous and it was difficult to live, says Max expert continues:
– What makes it problematic for Høgmo is that in a bit too much regards this as a club team. I think he has nip over too much, with a national team that is seen a little too rare to be able to develop all these aspects of the game as he wants.
Boss, not exercising
Eriksen points out that the role of Høgmo’s coach and not national coach. And that a chief in his eyes primarily a strategist.
– I think that if you are going to be a strategist then you must put up a fight plan that provides the greatest possible likelihood that you win matches. A trainer that can affect 30 days a month have the much greater prospects of success with a similar project – but a coach who sees players 30 times a year.
– What could Høgmo done differently?
– He could ripped up slightly fewer moments for how the national team were playing. I think it would have been much better if we had some easier play principles.
– Concerns results
Former national team player and current TV 2 expert Jahn Ivar “Mini” Jakobsen endorses Eriksens views. He also emphasizes that Høgmo can not give priority to develop players for the future, for in his mind there is only one thing to do:
– The national team’s all about results. You can not keep on talking about that we will build teams and all that. Those players who are best Thursday at eight forty-five, they should Høgmo pick out. Not those who may be best tomorrow. There is no question, says Jakobsen told Dagbladet.
– Per-Mathias made a mistake to start with so big, bombastic words. We wondered what really happened. “Remember who we are,” we thought. One must love to have ambitions that Norway should take steps and move on, that’s exactly right, but you can not go out and think that you are Italy or the Netherlands. It is not, he said.
– How will they signify Høgmo project if he does not take Norway to EM?
– If we do not manages to be number three or better, it is a failed project. Meanwhile, I hope that we shall get both one and three points on Thursday. To date, we follow the form of the group, and in this respect we should not castigated some, but we have won four of 19 games during the coaching staff and it’s not suggesting that this is the right way to go.
Høgmo answers
During today’s press conference at Ullevaal stadium confronted Dagbladet Høgmo with criticism from experts. The chief has the following to say on the question whether he has nip over too much.
– We have followed our principles play all the way, we have chosen a strategy. It has brought us to where we are now, who are two points behind Italy and two points ahead of Bulgaria. We’re constantly developing team and play principles, which is independent of the formation. They remain unchanged. Meanwhile, we have players that are in development and a relatively young team. It’s status.
– What have you learned in the period since you went from being club coach to coach?
– Now I been national coach for seven years before this, so I know what it is. We have added a culture that we want to work for. Regarding difference between club and country is the dramatic large considering that if we take the season so we have only had one moment. They (UEFA) has taken away two international dates. That picture has changed even more than before. Where you daily look players in the eye and works with development, it becomes more on borrowed time. We try to compensate as best we can and be close to the players also between collections, but it’s a completely different way of working. That’s it.
– Some experts believe Norway should get a new management about playoff Square bust, others think we should be patient. What do you think about your own position?
– I think that you as a football coach is working daily to develop the team and the team. It’s about preparing the best for the next match. We always have a long-term strategy and is also working on a short-term focus. So it is also to be national coach.
