Said no to the league leaders, elected Fire and Bergen – Bergen newspaper

BA spoke with Marcus on Monday night. A few hours earlier had 24-year-old was finally ready to fire.

– Now I’m relieved that everything went fine. There have been a few hectic hours, many phone calls and paperwork had to be signed, Pedersen says by phone from the Netherlands.

Pedersen does not deny that he has been very unsure of where his football future has been, and the final decision he took first on Monday afternoon.

– BAD GUT FEELING IN MOLDE

Earlier this summer, it became clear that the Dutch top club Vitesse would not bet further on the Norwegian.

This weekend, he was on a visit to Molde. 24-year-old says he got a contract proposal from the league leaders, but he chose thus a Fire team that is located under the dash.

– As I sat on the plane home from Molde, I had a bad gut feeling. I felt that this was not right for me, says Pedersen BA.

– Some might raise some eyebrows that you select the bottom layer Fire before the league leader? Were you afraid to sit on the bench there?

– No, I was not. Sporty Molde is good, but Fire is a big club that belongs in the top. Helping Fire to stay, I see as a major challenge that appeals to me. Most of all it is football city of Bergen and the throttle in any way that is at Stadion which made me decide fire. I had offers from several Norwegian and foreign clubs, but I decided to finish for Fire. Many people have many opinions on how I should play. I feel confident that I have made the right decision. This is the best for me, he says.

– Lay the

economic provision of fire over what the others offer you?

– Economy I have no comment, but it is clear that it was challenging to find clubs that could be near the pay for Vitesse. For me it was important to play football. I want to show off so I can get on the national team again. I will seek out the old Pedersen. I’m still him, but I just have to show it again, he says.

READY TO PLAY

The former Strømsgodset- and Vålerenga striker says he is in good form. He will be happy already in the quarterfinals against Odd Thursday.

– I’m in good shape and has trained well, but I might be missing some combat training, but it’s going fast. I’ve played two rounds in friendlies for Vitesse. And then I played seven minutes against Chelsea on July 30, he said.

Sun waiting Rosenborg Stadium.
