Club Brugge press high to stop you building calmly from the back.
“Club probeert ook hoger op het veld druk te zetten, waardoor tegenstanders minder tijd krijgen om rustig op te bouwen.”Club also try to press higher up the pitch, so opponents get less time to build up calmly. our translation
They are the champions, but they look a gear slower than last year. Belgian pundits say the football is comfortable rather than dangerous, and the wingers are not producing what Christos Tzolis did before he left.
“Het voetbal is momenteel te gezapig en mist versnelling.”At the moment the football is too sluggish and lacks acceleration. our translation
Brugge want to pin you inside your own penalty area and win the ball straight back when it comes out. Ivan Leko judges his team on shots and sprinting, not on how much of the ball they have.
“Ik houd ervan als we de tegenstander wegduwen in hun box, want dat betekent dat je goed voetbalt.”I love it when we push the opponent back into their own box, because that means you are playing well. our translation
Kompany on Bodø/Glimt: every one of them runs, defends and presses.
“Every player can run a lot, every player wants to defend and press.”Go a goal up and it tends to wake them rather than worry them. Against Rosenborg they conceded first and then scored four.
“Rosenborg kom best i gang da den nybakte faren Simen Bolkan Nordli satte inn 1–0 for gjestene etter 36 minutter. Da skrudde Glimt på turboen.”Rosenborg started better when the new father Simen Bolkan Nordli put the visitors 1-0 up after 36 minutes. That was when Glimt switched on the turbo. our translation
Almost every time they get near your goal something happens. Opposing coaches say the threat is constant, not occasional.
“– De er klart det beste laget og viser toppnivået sitt. De er farlige hver gang de kommer i våres felt, sier han til NRK.”"They are clearly the best team and are showing their top level. They are dangerous every single time they get into our box," he says to NRK. our translation
