Seven games. Ten hours. That’s how long it has been since Røa last put the ball in the opposite net. Forward Tuva Lotte Leschbrandt Espås has not scored since June 3, and her partner Julie Hoff Klæboe – who is now injured – has gone without a net since June 24. It is a hard pill to swallow for the striker pair. – It hurts to hear such numbers, and it is difficult to put one’s finger on exactly what is happening, says Espås. SVOLTEN: Espås says that there is nothing she would rather do than score goals for the club. Photo: Erlend Martinsen / news The two strikers are measured by how many goals they produce. When things go wrong, they see the advantage of being two together about it. – It hurts to talk to people about it, Klæboe opens. – Do you think it’s embarrassing? – Yes, absolutely, confirms the 24-year-old to news. On Saturday, Røa hosts table neighbor Stabæk. You can watch the match on news 1. – Didn’t want to stay after training In the podcast “More than 4-4-2”, Klæboe talks about the frustrating time in Kolbotn – the club she played for before she went to Røa. There he scored a total of eleven goals in five seasons. SIDELINE: Klæboe has to watch his team from the sideline due to a calf injury. Photo: Erlend Martinsen / news – You feel that it is written on your forehead, that you are: “The striker who doesn’t score goals”. I didn’t want to stay and practice what I was bad at, I didn’t want to show it to those who played on my team, she says honestly in the podcast. Røa started the season well. The two teammates look back on a spring where the team was in good spirits and had a bit of a push – until the passage stopped. – I don’t care who scores. Coach Geir Nordby must face the facts – the team has not scored since June. Now he wants the team to open the goal account again, but he does not put all the pressure on the strikers. – I don’t care who scores, only the team scores. It’s a team game we’re playing, he says. MUCH TO THINK ABOUT FOR NORDBY: The season is drawing to a close, and there are few points separating the teams in the table. Photo: Erlend Martinsen / news Nordby thinks it is about to loosen up a bit, and he is focused on taking risks and getting the players to dare and try. – There are worse things in the world than not scoring goals right now. Let’s let loose and have fun, that’s why we’re here, he concludes.
