– It was an incredible feeling to score in such a big match, then I had a reaction and ran to the first person I saw. I was completely out and lost it a bit. That’s what Røssing-Lelesiit tells news after scoring LSK’s goal in the 1-2 loss against Molde in the cup quarter-final on Sunday evening. At Åråsen, they have long believed that they are sitting on a jewel, and on Sunday he showed the whole of football Norway what he has in him when he single-handedly took away Molde player Kristian Eriksen and scored LSK’s equalizing goal in a beautiful way. Fagermo: – Has X-factor The new Lillestrøm coach Dag-Eilev Fagermo has managed to be impressed by the great talent in the few training sessions they have had together. – There is a reason why I am raising him against Molde. I have already seen that he has the X-factor. If we’re going to score goals and break down teams like that, and you can’t do it game-wise, you have to have people who can do it alone. He will play and be important throughout the season, says Fagermo to news. – How do you compare his potential with others you have worked with in the past? – It’s a bit early to say, and a few training sessions, but I think it’s very, very good, says the LSK boss.

In his debut against Denmark, he thanked for the trust by scoring two goals with the flag on his chest. – Came as a shock Røssing-Lelesiit told news that he had not expected to have Fagermo as a coach this autumn. – It came as a shock. First David (Nielsen) disappears, then a former Vålerenga coach comes in. It was a shock, but now it’s just fine. He focuses on doing the right things here, so I don’t care about that, says the 17-year-old. He nevertheless admits that he did not have steel control at Fagermo as a person and coach before he was surprisingly announced as the new boss of the Åråsen club. – I didn’t know that much. I haven’t followed Norwegian football that much. But I knew that he had been in Vålerenga. – You don’t follow Norwegian football that much? – I follow along, but I don’t have a very good idea of names, he replies, and adds that he mostly watches the Premier League. Left the bench: – It was tough After playing six games for LSK early in the season, it suddenly stopped for the youngster. Before he was replaced against Molde on Sunday evening, he had not been on the pitch in an A-team match since 28 July. He admits that it has been demanding for him to see his playing time disappear. – It’s tough, of course, but you just have to stick with it and keep training hard, then you’ll get the opportunity again. It’s just a matter of seizing the chance, he says. – Now the development has gone in the right direction, and I am very satisfied with that. I am “pushed” by the older people to keep taking steps. So I am satisfied and will develop further, he says. OUT OF THE CUP: Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit and the other LSK players failed to punish Molde at Åråsen on Sunday. Photo: Annika Byrde / NTB With six games left in the season, Lillestrøm are at the bottom of the table with their 21 points. There are two points up to Haugesund in a safe place. In other words: The stage is set for a relegation thriller of the rare kind beyond the autumn. – You are only 17 years old, what is it like to experience that they are in the middle of an LSK crisis now? – It’s tough, but you just have to stick with it and work hard every day, and the results will come. Especially now. I’m sure of that, he says. He believes that Fagermo’s entry gives grounds for optimism. – I am very positive. He comes in with an offensive attitude. We need that. – Fagermo said that he would give all his attention to the 14-15 best. Are you among them, do you know? – I can hope so. I have gained a lot of confidence in training, in any case. Now I gained confidence in this match now, so let’s hope I’m one of them. Published 07.10.2024, at 16.50
