– They have to go within themselves and find out the way they should do things, because now Rosenborg is where they are, says LSK coach Eirik Bakke to news. – Then they have to have some respect for other teams and the way they think about football. They have to try not to be such bad losers, because I think there is a little bit of that too. Eirik Bakke saw his Lillestrøm crush Rosenborg 3-0 on Sunday evening. The old greatness from Trondheim now stands with just one win in the last six games. POINTS TO THE RBK PLAYERS: Lillestrøm coach Eirik Bakke heard what Ole Selnæs said about his team. Now he asks the Rosenborg players to go within themselves. Photo: Annika Byrde / NTB The RBK players were sometimes very frustrated on the field, and it peaked when Jayden Nelson clumsily received a red card after two late tackles. But also in the press zone, several of the RBK profiles talked about how Lillestrøm had used their “only weapon” against them – set pieces. Responding to the Selnæs sting for three minutes, Ole Selnæs came up with, among other things, the following sting in the direction of Lillestrøm: – It is at a set piece that we lose this game here. We defend terribly poorly on defensive set pieces. All three of their goals come on it. It’s not good enough, sighs Selnæs and continues dejectedly: – I’m disappointed that we as a team miss probably six good chances at corners. In open play, they (Lillestrøm) could play until the weekend without scoring. These statements therefore make Bakke snort. When news asks the former Leeds player to respond to the sting, he delivers a three-minute long monologue: – They probably had one-and-a-half shots on goal today. We created a lot of chances besides our set pieces. I have respect for Trondheim and Rosenborg, but I advise the players to look at themselves in the mirror first. – COULD PLAY OVER THE WEEKEND WITHOUT SCORING: That’s what Ole Selnæs said about Lillestrøm, apart from their poisonous set pieces. Rosenborg lost the game by three goals in the 29-year-old’s second game after returning home. Photo: Beate Oma Dahle / NTB “Men against boys” Selnæs experienced that his own team “defended itself like a junior team on set pieces”. Bakke completely agrees with that. – There was such a big difference between the teams today. It was men against boys. I told my own players that we start with ourselves. I think Rosenborg will do that too, he says and smiles slyly. – Their performance (Rosenborg’s) today… I have been in football for a long time, I have played in the Premier League and other places, and they should look at themselves in the mirror, he continues. news has been in contact with Rosenborg and asked if Ole Selnæs will respond to Eirik Bakke’s criticism. Selnæs has no further comments. – Not even to their knees In Trondheim, they are concerned with Rosenborg’s DNA: the entertaining style of play where the ball moves forward quickly in a 4-3-3 formation. Selnæs felt that RBK partially achieved this. – It is terribly disappointing the way it is developing, because we play a decent first half where we have control of the ball and play Rosenborg football along the ground. – I think Rosenborg hit just as far as us in the first half, counters Bakke. – There are not many people other than the people of Trondheim who think about football the way they do. And that’s perfectly fine, but show respect for the other teams. RBK PROFILES: Bakke believes the RBK players have a lot to learn from Trond Henriksen and Roar Strand. Photo: Beate Oma Dahle / NTB He believes today’s players have a lot to learn from some of Trøndelag’s old heroes, such as Roar Strand and Trond Henriksen. They are part of the support apparatus of the club today. – Those players were the best, wherever they were. Now Rosenborg is not the best. They are where they are on the table. So the players have to have some respect for the old guys up there. Their culture and how they played, regardless of opposition. They don’t even reach their knees.
