– The Dønnum situation is clear. There’s a guy who seems very frustrated. First he slips into a situation with Leopold Wahlstedt and then he kneels the same man afterwards. He should have had two reds. This is what news expert Carl-Erik Torp says after crisis-stricken Vålerenga lost 0-1 at home against Odd. EXPERT: Carl-Erik Torp. Photo: Terje Pedersen / NTB The situation Torp describes happened just over 60 minutes into the settlement – shortly after the guests took the lead. It started with Dønnum getting into a situation with Wahlstedt late, which made the Odd goalkeeper light all the plugs. As the Swede gets up, it apparently looks as if Dønnum is putting his knee in the face of the goalkeeper. Wahlstedt repeats several times to news that such situations can happen in the heat of battle. He is nevertheless clear that Dønnum went too far. – There will be a post. I throw myself out to take the ball, then he comes in with the knobs in his stomach. But that’s how it happens. He goes to score. Then we see in the video that he puts a knee in his face. Then I get frustrated. That’s how it happens. We won, says the Odd goalkeeper. – Carl-Erik Torp says there should have been two red cards to Dønnum. What do you think? – I do not know. I’m not a judge. One should not put the knee in the face of others. But that is what can happen, the Swede repeats. This is what Dønnum says about the situation news has tried to get a comment from Dønnum about the situation, but has so far not succeeded. The Vålerenga star, who is on loan from Standard Liège, tells VG that he was tired of the goalkeeper delaying the game. – It’s part of the game. He was doing well today, but of course I was upset when it took time. He has to endure that. When asked by VG if he was lucky to get away with cards, he answers: – I do not think I am lucky to avoid cards, no. If you can not stand that much, then I do not know. The referee today is doing just fine. At the same time, it’s not all they get with small things, but it does not help to shout about everything, always. GREAT PLAY: Leopold Wahlstedt stood like a living wall in the Odd goal. Photo: Terje Pedersen / NTB Fagermo admits crisis After Sunday’s loss, Vålerenga is without a win in six games in the series. Four of them have ended in losses. Already after the 0-4 loss against Rosenborg at the end of May, news’s football expert, Carl-Erik Torp, spoke in favor of a change of coach at Valle. The expert also did not find anything particularly positive to say about the Oslo team’s performance on Sunday. – “Project Fagermo” seems to have entered a dead end. There is no indication that this will change, says Torp. Fagermo admits to news that things are not going well with Oslo’s pride. – From a football perspective – for a club like Vålerenga – it is a crisis. Simple and easy, says Fagermo. – What do you think about “Project Fagermo?” – Right now I think we are struggling with it. We have not reached the potential I thought we had. This winter I thought we had a very good team, but I have so far not played with that team either – we have only had it on the field once. But we have still had an adversity I have not dreamed of, says Fagermo. WITHOUT WIN: Dag-Eilev Fagermo and Vålerenga have not won in six matches in the series. On Sunday they went on another loss – this time against Odd. Photo: Geir Olsen / NTB Opportunity for chances On Sunday, he saw a Vålerenga team squander terribly in front of goal. Neither Osame Sahraoui, Henrik Udahl, Amor Layouni, Petter Strand, Vegar Hedenstad, Seedy Jatta or Tobias Christensen managed to turn their respective chances into goals. At the back of Odd, Wahlstedt acted as a living wall, and was – not surprisingly – named the best player on the field. The last time Vålerenga won a match in the Eliteserien was the 3-1 victory away against Sandefjord on 8 May. The last home win was April 24, where they won 1-0 over Jerv. After Sunday’s loss, the blue jerseys are down to qualifying place in the elite series. Odd is in 10th place.
