– Convincing doesn’t quite cover this, said a clearly impressed Christian Gauseth when Glimt waltzed over Odd. His fellow commentator was also impressed by what he saw, but was also harsh in his criticism of Odd. – It is almost impossible to fathom and understand how naked this Odd team is, said commentator Petter Bø Tosterød. Pål Arne Johansen was naturally not happy after the big loss in Northern Norway. – It was a brutal meeting with a very good Glimt. The 90 minutes were really tough, says “Paco” to news. The last time the teams met, Odd won. This time it was much too tough for the away team. “Paco” believes that the home advantage comes into play, and that Glimt especially nowadays has very good flow on home ground. – It is tough and brutal. It is the toughest match and perhaps the toughest opponent for us this year. But one match must be that match as well, says the Odd coach. Because it was another party night at Aspmyra when especially Amahl Pellegrino and Hugo Vetlesen were in great form. IN GREAT FORM: Bodø/Glimt won 7-0 over Odd.

He scored three goals, of which the 2-0 goal was particularly beautiful. The midfielder knocked outside the penalty area and the ball ended up in the corner and in the goal. He now has six goals in the Eliteserien this season. His playmate for the day, Pellegrino, has 15 goals in 15 games and is the top scorer in the league. – Most of it floated today. It is thanks to the team and a good performance, says today’s hat trick hero to news. – You lost the last time you met Odd. What is the difference now? – We have worked hard over time, spent many hours on video and had many meetings to change the trend we have had, and we have succeeded quite well. HATE TRICK: Hugo Vetlesen scored three for Bodø/Glimt on Saturday. Photo: Mats Torbergsen / NTB Vetlesen believes that it is an advantage to play as many matches as they do. – I have said it several times that the more games, the better. Then we get to practice against the type of opponents we face all the time, says the Glimt profile. In addition, substitute Runar Espejord scored shortly after coming onto the pitch. He put in a precise post. The humiliation was complete when Ulrik Saltnes scored 7-0 for the yellow jerseys. He scored an easy goal for Glimt ten minutes before the end. This is how the turnaround is explained Glimt now has a very strong series of matches, and they have won five straight matches in the Eliteserien. It is in stark contrast to their weak start, where they stumbled against several teams. – I think we have hit very well in both games (against Zalgiris and Odd) which makes us appear very different. We have worked to play against a top five for half a year now, and then we look very different, says Ulrik Saltnes after the match. Kjetil Knutsen does not have a clear explanation either, but says that the focus has always been development and not necessarily results. – I can’t explain everything. But we are working well at the moment, and we have broken some codes, says the Bergen resident to news. He is happy about the crazy form the team is in today. – It is incredibly fun to be part of this team. There have been some impressive defensive and offensive performances in recent days, says Knutsen. REVERSED THE SITUATION: Kjetil Knutsen and Bodø/Glimt have reversed a weak trend. Photo: Svein Ove Ekornesvåg / NTB He believes they were poorly paid the last time they met Odd and ended up losing. Now “everything” has turned around. – It is not always the case that you are at your best. We really had to dig deep to get back, we are in a fantastic direction now, says Knutsen. Glimt has scored an incredible 27 goals in the last five games. Going to Lithuania Today’s result means that Glimt is in third place in the Eliteserien, but thus puts pressure on Lillestrøm and Molde, who are ahead of the Nordics in the table. On Wednesday at the latest, the yellow jerseys offered another goal celebration when they crushed Lithuanian Zalgiris in the Champions League qualifiers. It ended 5-0 at Aspmyra, and the return match in Lithuania awaits on Tuesday. If they do their job and progress, they are ready for a playoff for the Champions League and at the same time secured a place in the Europa League.
