TALLINN: – It is only to seize the opportunity when it comes, as in any team, says 26-year-old after Wednesday’s frigid training in the Estonian capital said.
Høgmo described Wednesday poor chance utilization as national team’s Achilles heel. Diomand debut match against Azerbaijan was his horror story.
– We have to be good in front of goal and more effective than we have been previously. It’s goals that determine matches. We must be proactive in your head and put your chances when they present themselves, saying “Dio”.
He did last season for Stabæk. 17 goals in 21 league games and 8 goals in 5 cup matches, the yield was before he was taken to Hull in English Championship Series.
Started against Arsenal
The autumn season in Hull was marred by a serious groin injury.
– The smoke, simply, so it had to be sewn together. I could not train for several months. It was frustrating after that it went so well in Stabæk. It is the worst start you can get a new club, he says about the difficult time.
In December, he was finally ready to debut, but in the series, only been short innhopp so far.
– We have a top scorer in Abel Hernández. When I came back, he had already double-digit number of goals. Then it’s not just to come and take his place, said Diomede.
In the FA Cup he played from start in all Hulls matches, the last two against Arsenal.
– It was part of the “Rehab”. They have been careful with me for that groin problem will not be returning, says Diomedes, who hopes to contribute Hulls fight for promotion to the Premier League. He already looking forward to next season.
– Then I participate in pre-season with the team. There will be a chance to build up.
Thrives in England
Injury problems despite he is very pleased with the transition to English football.
– Life in England is fantastic and family thrive. I am pleased that the transition has gone box, he said.
training in Tallinn suggest that Høgmo use him from the start Thursday and that will always Diomede chase goal.
– Of course. One tip will score goals, there is nothing more to say about it.
Missing count is to blame
coaching staff call the bad chance utilization for the national team’s Achilles heel and gives it the blame for the EM space slipped. Stefan Johansen denies that there is an acute problem.
– It is the biggest challenge our past two years. Statistics show that we spend six chances to score, opponents only three. We created enough chances to qualify. Home against Azerbaijan we had 8-0 in chances, but it ended 0-0. With count where we would come to EM. It is our Achilles heel, says national team.
– It was a success criterion when we had målgarantister as Jan Åge Fjørtoft (20 countries brawl), Steffen Iversen (21), Tore André Flo ( 23), Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (23) and John Carew (24).
in squad gathered in Estonia is Håvard Nordtveit highest scorer with two land battles, and the entire squad has a total of seven goals for Norway.
Insufficient
Stefan Johansen denies opposite NTB that this is a burden that is placed on Nozzle shoulders.
– We have to get better at putting chances, there is no doubt about it, but I’m not a fan of it will be called a tip problem. It is equally important that the stoppers, midfielders and wings contributes goal, he said.
– For my own part, I soon played 25 internationals, and I have only scored one goal . In my eyes it is too small, and there I take criticism. I should contribute more goals.
He points out that the national team in their best periods have got goals from many positions.
– it’s not just strikers who will do it. It is important that the rest of us also comes in positions where we are creating chances and not least exploit them. Norway has always been a dangerous dødballag, with big and strong stoppers, and we’ve had målfarlige midfielders, he said.
– It is vital that all stand up and take responsibility, and that we help with both goals and assists.
Searched Zlatan
Under Høgmo has national team only scored 21 goals in 25 matches. Alexander Tettey’s highest scorer with three goals (all in European Championship qualifiers). 16 players have signed up on the scoring list.
Although Stefan Johansen will apportion liability, believes Høgmo a målfarlig tip could be the key.
– We see that you get a Zlatan, you’re going to the European Championships. The Danes have not had a good tip, and they did not come to EM. Good strikers do not grow on trees, and therefore they cost 100 million, says national team.
– There are a lot of good consistency in our team, but we lack målgjørere on stable level. We have many who have scored a lot at home, but have not succeeded there. I hope we in the coming years brings these players.
He mentions Alexander Sørloth and Veton Berisha among young strikers that can develop into målgarantistene he seeks, and also refers to players as Adama Diomande, Joshua King and Markus Henriksen.
– Markus is enough at the moment the closest we get a player who scores so much abroad. Everybody wants to score goals, but you have to burn it and practice lots of it, and it must be done in everyday life, says the coaching staff.
Trainer for Sápmi football team
coaching staff got the crowd at Wednesday’s press conference in Tallinn by reminiscing about when he beat Estonia in front of a million “mosquito”.
A local journalist asked if Høgmo remembered match he played for Same Landslaget against Estonia in 1991.
– Yes, I do. I was playing coach for Lappland, and we won 2-1. There were 4,000 spectators, and then there was a million “mosquito,” said Høgmo in English.
– I tweet Never press conferences, but this should only be out, said Jan Åge Fjørtoft from the back row of the conference room at the Hotel Olümpia.
the match in 1991 was played when Estonia had just won its independence from the Soviet Union, before the country got to play official caps.
Estonia received further revenge against Høgmo 1-0 win over Norway at Ullevaal in November 2014 in front of 9580 spectators and no “mosquito”. Thursday meet teams again in a wintry and mosquitoes Tallinn. (NTB)
