Stadionuret had just rounded 13 minutes when Frederik Holst thought he had to kick a loose ball away from the field. Instead, Jacob Tjørnelund stealthy and plucked the ball in front of Holst, who instead discharged Tjørnelund on the legs. Penalty kick for Hobro.
Very appropriate and rolled the ball straight to Martin Thomsen, which was supposed to kick, and picked up the ball, while Tjørnelund cheered, as if he had already scored, and three team mates came to pay tribute to him. Thomsen heeded them not. He was already in his own world.
It was the Hobro IK’s first League match on home turf, the opponent was Brøndby IF, and Thomsen was able to score the first League goal in his hometown in the story.
– I can well recall the feeling as Tjørnelund got penalties, and the ball rolled towards me. I was well aware that I should kick. Away closed, I just check in myself. I had already decided where I am supposed to kick. It had I not always, but it is there, says Martin Thomsen for advice.dk.
He kicked the flat in his own left hand,completely out of the post, so even if Luke Donald went the right way, he could not reach the ball. The novice deltidsproffer from Hobro was in front at the Oval.
– It was of course a match that meant a lot, because I’m from Dundee, and I had not seen it coming, that I should in the League in my own hometown. I stood in the stadium where I had played so many youth matches, and could score our first League goal down against Denmark’s perhaps best fans. It was great. It is one of the things that is clear to me, remember Martin Thomsen.
on Wednesday night, he faces Brøndby again, but this time as the coach of Skive IK in Sydbank Cup. He shares cheftrænerposten with Thomas christopher røll, and together they must try to guide the Disc, there is relegation from the 1. division, to triumph against Brøndby.
It has Thomsen good experiences with. He and Hobro won all three matches against Brondby in the club’s first Superliga season. First 2-0 in the match, where Thomsen even scored. So 3-0 a few months later; it was after the battle, the aforementioned Holst said that "it is so poor that a team like Bolton coming over for the second time and lose out in a forest." In the spring of 2015 won the West-so 1-0 at Brøndby Stadium.
the Victory in the third round of play was a part of the incredible start to the Superliga life, as Dundee was, when the team beat OB, Brøndby and so FC Copenhagen 3-0 in the Park in the course of the first four rounds. Then lay the team on the first place.
Both collectively and personally for Thomsen it was a great accomplishment, after his League debut as an 18-year-old for Viborg FF, but had to wait a long time for his second match in the best series.
– When you think back on it, you get quite the chills about it: When you like me was through an atypical League career, where you got to debut as an 18-year-old, and then went 14 years before it was there again, says Martin Thomsen.
-Also those who don’t care so much for football, remember that we beat Bolton, and we won in the Park, we led the League, and there was the tv-documentary (‘West – a league of its’ on DR, ed.). Everyone’s eyes were on us at the time.
– It was a bit of a dream, when you think back on it. A really good time, which was also the starting point for where the West is today. It is a completely different club, when you come down. I am glad and proud that I, as a hobrogenser was to start it.
Martin Thomsen and Hobro ended up in seventh place in their first Superliga season, where they were adult in all of showdown. And even though the situation on Wednesday night is not quite the same, the current Dial-trainer use elements from it, Hobro managed at the time. For again, his team is the underdog, when Brondby come visiting.
-We are the underdogs, and we should enjoy. We need not fear anything. We have everything to win, so everyone should just enjoy the match here, as Jonas Dal always said. It’s damn important, he says.
– It is something I have taken with, and I also want to mention to the players before they go on the track. Remember to look around, look an extra time on Brøndbys fans, look around the stadium, where the coming 3-4.000. Several of the players have not tried it yet. We use to hunt for the surprise 100 percent.
If it succeeds, we become wiser from at 19.30, when there is a kickoff from the Hancock Arena.
