VIK

They come straight at you from kick-off. Expect them to attack the very first minutes rather than feel their way into the game.

“Viking prøvde, ikke uventet, å gå direkte i strupen på Dinamo Zagreb fra avspark.”

Viking tried, not unexpectedly, to go straight for Dinamo Zagreb's throat from kick-off. our translation

VIK

There are two men in charge on the touchline, not one. Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim and Morten Jensen are equal head coaches and take turns being listed as the boss.

“I praksis styrer dei skuta saman, noko som er veldig sjeldan.”

In practice they steer the ship together, which is very rare. our translation

VIK

They do not chase the ball the same way all game. Sometimes they hunt it high up the pitch, sometimes they drop off and wait — watch how far up they start each spell.

“Vi må også klare å variere presshøyden, som vi var veldig gode på sist.”

We also have to manage to vary how high we press, which we were very good at last time. our translation
