This season you can watch all the matches in the Elite Series on TV 2 Play.
– It feels sickly bad. It feels like an ass. We lose 0-3 in the dress rehearsal. It is not good, says RBK player Olaus Skarsem to Adresseavisen.
On Friday afternoon, the obosliga club Raufoss became too strong on the SalMar track in Trondheim.
– The miserable drive-up to Rosenborg has reached a new low point, comments TV 2’s football expert Jesper Mathisen.
Rekdal is surprised by the failure.
– It looks like we have not trained on anything this winter, and it is a bit special, because we have actually done, says the 53-year-old to Adresseavisen.
– We must spend the last week well and lay out a good strategy. I hope that Bodø / Glimt were and looked at us, because then they will at least not be intimidated, continues last year’s coach in the Obosligaen.

Trøndelag have won one of seven training matches this winter.
– The enthusiasm they had the opportunity to build up through the winter, they have on no one had to succeed with. There have been some achievements in the matches that are almost unbelievable in terms of what kind of player material they have at their disposal and who they face, says Mathisen.
Trøndelag was below 0-1 at the break. Instead of the team getting up and going down the throat at Raufoss, the obosliga club went up to 3-0 before the hour was played. Teodor Berg Haltvik, former RBK talent, scored two of the goals.

According to Adresseavisen’s commentator, supporters who had turned up began to leave the small arena.
– There was some skepticism when Kjetil Rekdal was hired. Of course, it has only grown after this winter, Mathisen states.
– You get to see how he handles the pressure when it comes to playing for points. It may well be that he manages to turn it around and that something is triggering him. But it is certainly not an easy task, he continues.
Mathisen emphasizes that it is not now a matter of being good.
– It’s like that in football that if Rosenborg opens the season well when the seriousness starts, no one will remember what happened this winter. But considering that there is a new coaching team and a number of new players in place, this is not positive. It is anything but what they had envisioned and hoped for.
