– I think it was surprising, and it came a bit suddenly. This is what national team goalkeeper Cecilie Fiskerstrand tells news after it became known that Hege Riise has finished as national team manager. – She had a long contract and it’s not like I go around thinking that coaches will disappear all the time. Then someone other than me decides that. There are more skilled people than me who make such decisions, says Fiskerstrand. DONE: Hege Riise pictured during the press conference on Friday. Photo: Terje Pedersen / NTB The resignation takes place shortly after the Norwegian squad returned home from an unsuccessful WC in Australia and New Zealand. During the championship, news was able to learn that there was strong Riise dissatisfaction in the WC squad. – I understand that it looks chaotic from the outside. I don’t feel I experience it so chaotically inside. Now we are all in our own clubs and focus on that. And then when we gather at the national team again, there is full focus on that, says Fiskerstrand. Supports the decision The RBK profile Anna Jøsendal also did not expect to receive a message about the Riise exit today. However, she supports the decision to replace the coach. – I was a little shocked. I actually became that. After all, we had an evaluation meeting, and I didn’t quite think that was what was going to come out. But when what has happened has happened, I support the decision the NFF has made, she says. – NO DISSATISFACTION: Anna Jøsendal claims she has not noticed any dissatisfaction in the group. Photo: Lise Åserud / NTB Jøsendal says she has experienced Riise as a “good coach” and claims that she has not noticed that there has been dissatisfaction in the squad during the WC. – People have been professional. I haven’t noticed anything inside the group, it’s just been a bit silly in the media. I don’t recognize myself in that information, says the 22-year-old. – So you haven’t been dissatisfied yourself? – No. PRESIDENT AND COACH: Football president Lise Klaveness and former national team manager Hege Riise in talks after the press conference. Photo: Terje Pedersen / NTB Don’t recognize communication criticism At Friday’s press conference at the Ullevaal stadium, football president Lise Klaveness explained that the NFF’s assessment was that they needed a “clearer and proactive leader”. news has previously learned that players during the World Cup reacted to unclear messages and lack of match management. It’s not something the two Fire and national team players Amalie Eikeland and Aurora Mikalsen recognize. – It’s not something I’ve had any major problems with. Such things are kept and worked on internally, says Eikeland. – No, the dialogue and communication I have had with Hege Riise has been excellent. So no, not really, says Mikalsen. GOOD RELATIONSHIP: Emma Stølen Godø says that she got on well with national team manager Hege Riise. Photo: Rodrigo Freitas / NTB – Everyone was perhaps not as “happy” Emma Stølen Godø has two caps for Norway and joined the World Cup as an unused reserve. She was on her way into the LSK dressing room when she got the news, which she herself describes as “surprising”. – Do you think it’s a right decision? – Personally, I have had a fairly good relationship with Hege. I always have, really. I think it’s a real shame that the WC went the way it did. Of course, I had hoped that it would go much better. But yes, football is about results. It is very results-focused. When, in addition, everyone may not be equally “happy” and there are many different opinions, then it can quickly end like this, Godø replies and adds: – She was hired last year, so you think that you will have some time to get a project started and get some work done on that project. But football is about results and when it doesn’t succeed completely, then football is quite brutal. – Have you experienced that there are many people who are not satisfied? – When the results are bad, people are disappointed. There are some who are disappointed with themselves, some who are disappointed with the coach and some who are disappointed with other things. This is how it is. It’s hard to say for sure if anyone is really disappointed or not. Or dissatisfied. It’s just the way football is, simply.
