Bodo/Glimt Coach Kjetil Knutsen: “We want to be a team that reflects all our energy on the field and plays attacking football. Tomorrow we really have to play like Bodo/Glimt” – Bodo/Glimt football player Sondre Brunstad Fet: “We played with many big teams here, the biggest team is Beşiktaş I can say that we will play with
Coach Kjetil Knutsen of Norwegian representative Bodo/Glimt, which will host Beşiktaş tomorrow in the third week of UEFA Europa Conference League Group D, said that they want to play offensive football with all their energy.
Making a statement to the press at Aspmyra Stadium, where the match will be played, Knutsen stated that two teams that have not yet won in the group will face each other and said, “Although we look at the situation of the group in general, the most important thing for us is what this match will be. If we play this match seriously, we will also know how we will play the other matches.” We will see when it comes. Beşiktaş is an extremely good team with a long history and experience. They have good football players who have played in the big leagues. Tomorrow we will see how they integrate with each other as a team game. We want to reflect all our energy on the field and be a team that plays offensive football. Tomorrow it will really be like Bodo/Glimt. We should play.” he said.
When asked about Beşiktaş’s last training session in Istanbul and coming to Norway, Knutsen said, “We don’t know why they didn’t come and we are not interested. We watched the match between Brugge and Beşiktaş. If we play like a real Bodo/Glimt on a beautiful autumn evening tomorrow and reflect our own characteristics on the field, We do not think that there is a team that can resist. What is important for us is that every player gives 100 percent to the match. It is normal for us to play in 3-degree weather. I guess the weather Beşiktaş wants is 25 degrees. They also want to play on a grass field, but it is 3 degrees and our field is artificial grass. .” He replied:
Bodo/Glimt football player Sondre Brunstad Fet emphasized that they are looking forward to playing against a difficult team and said, “As far as we know, Beşiktaş has very good individual football players. Their weakness is that they cannot establish team play. Working with the new coach may be a handicap for them. There are many great players here.” “We played with the team, I can say that we will play with Beşiktaş as the biggest team. We think we analyzed Beşiktaş well. We will take precautions as a team rather than taking special precautions for the players.” he said.
