There was a time when Rosenborg with profiles like Roar Strand, Harald Brattbakk, Erik note that and Bent Skammelsrud again and again qualified for the Champions League, and commanded even the biggest teams in Europe up to the dance.
the Club’s european records in the year 2019 is different sad – and far from former greatness.
Thursday came another punched in the diaphragm on the trønderne, at home lost 2-1 to the austrian LASK from Linz.
It was 26. defeat in the Europa League. Two more than any other crew. The match result meant, moreover, that Rosenborg now have played 15 games in the tournament without a win. Three of the matches ended in a tie. It is a tangency of Apollon Limassol’s record from last season. Add to this that Rosenborg have lost all five group stage matches this season. Besiktas and Astana had also lost the first four, but they both won on Thursday. Rosenborg is in his sixth season in the Europa League. They do not come on from the group stage in the year. It has failed in five previous attempts. In the last four seasons, Rosenborg won one match and played five tie, while 17 matches have lost. 80 teams participating in either the Champions League or Europa League this season. 79 of them have points in the account after five matches. Rosenborg have not.
It gets obviously the corners of the mouth to hang down in the Norwegian football.
– It is ugly figures. It is an evil number. Should Not assert themselves at this level, we must have a stronger collective, that can go the distance through an entire season, said head coach Eirik Horneland to the World after the fight.
He doesn’t bother, it sounds like a bad excuse, but Horneland believe that it can have a negative effect on the Norwegian team that their season follows the calendar year and thus is about to be finished, while virtually all other leagues are in the middle of the season.
– It may have something to say. Perhaps we had an advantage in qualifying, as it was the reverse. It is something that affects it. I try simply to be analytical. Rosenborg must have the ability to compete better than we do now, he said.
It is in several ways well for the club that the season is about to be over. There were not many people who had found their way to Lerkendal this Thursday night, which stunned TV 2 Norway’s expert, Jesper Mathisen.
– When we look around, is this a proof that the season has been a resounding failure, he said before kick-off.
– I have never in my life been on the Lerkendal 25 minutes before kick-off and seen so few people. Yes, it’s snowing, it’s cold, Rosenborg is out of the group stage, the meetings LASK, which is not far sexy. But anyway. It is a crystal clear proof that Rosenborg has a very long road ahead until they are back where they preferably will be, he said.
Tristessen despite you can of course also turn it 180 degrees and see that Rosenborg at the very least qualify for the group stage. It is there are other clubs in Scandinavia with a great sense of self that fails in the same degree.
Only FC Copenhagen, Rosenborg managed to qualify for the group stage in the last three editions of the tournament.
In the same seasons Champions League not had the participation of some scandinavian crew.
