– We get back in an extremely difficult situation when we let go of goals after 40 seconds. It is completely unforgivable, that is. That’s what Knutsen tells Viaplay after the 1-3 loss away to Tottenham in the first of two semi-finals in the Europa League. At the press conference on Wednesday night, Knutsen had one message he learned from the United match earlier in the Europa League: “Don’t start the match with 0-1”. At that time it was Alejandro Garnacho who scored for United after just one minute. Knutsen: “It is not going” he was not heard, and after 39 seconds on Thursday night Tottenham went up the lead. Sometimes it goes trolls in words. See the highlights of the match here: Everything about the Tottenham match in Evening News. – Actually, we have good control in the first place, we struggle a bit with balls behind us, also the first goal we just have to say that “it does not go”, we cannot act like that in the box, says Knutsen stated. Kristoffer Løkberg points a critical index finger at Ole Didrik Blomberg after the early backward goal. The wing, which ran the match despite having struggled with injury in recent weeks, let Tottenham simply come to posts. – Blomberg has to make more of that situation in advance. Either pull down to get the free kick, or stand tougher and protect the ball. Counting errors inside the box, and Spurs punish glimpses brutally. A nightmare opening, says Løkberg about the early score. Facing news, Blomberg takes self -criticism. – It is I who is unruly and does not fall there. I just have to learn it, so we hope it doesn’t happen again, he says to news. – Not good enough even though the two -goal loss means that the settlement lives before Tottenham comes to visit the artificial turf at Aspmyra on May 8, where Glimt is usually very strong, Knutsen takes a mercilessly honest settlement with his own players. – We depend on getting all players up at their best level. There are too many personal mistakes, we lose the ball too much, lose man-man duels, stand and watch … There is an incredible amount to learn that we can just bring. There is a difference between artificial turf and grass, and some of this goes on us that is in the coaching team, says Knutsen. The Glimt coach was clearly annoyed at the performance that was delivered, despite the fact that it “just” ended with 1-3 losses. – It’s just too simple and not good enough. Then there are many details, I haven’t seen everyone, but we just get to learn from that. Then we will be happy we still have opportunities when we go to Aspmyra in one week, we have to bring that now, so we will bring extreme a lot of learning. We get three players back, so we have a little more to choose from that we can be competitive the last match, he says. Knutsen thinks that Patrick Berg, Håkon Evjen and Andreas Helmersen are back from suspension to that match.

He hunts ever higher performance level, and does not lean back and thinks that the result was to live with. He is merciless, Løkberg states. – What do you think he is doing it in public? – That’s how he has always done, so the players are used to this. It is a clear and honest feedback culture up there, says Løkberg. Do you believe in a glimpse miracle on Aspmyra? Yes, this can go no, now there is a show result Saltnes: – Kjetil for good and bad is intense to news and the rest of the press corps in London reveals Ulrik Saltnes that Knutsen did not say anything about this to the players in the wardrobe after the match. – He haven’t said anything yet. Wise of injury he usually does not say anything right after the match when the emotions are high. He probably knows himself and knows that he is a little hot in his head afterwards. That’s not necessarily what you say and think is right, says Saltnes with a smile. – Kjetil for good and bad is intense, it is his strength, and it may be a weakness. He is an emotional man and goes “all in” in what he is doing, he is extremely extreme on it, and he expects that from everyone around too, says Saltnes.

You can ask what I’m happy with and I’m happy with a lot. For me, there is a difference between playing a match on grass and a match on artificial turf. And in the grass matches we have to get closer to the duel, so that we more often come out winning. We lose too much in that type of situation, which annoys me a little. And is that we have too much ballmist. So there are some technical things, says the Glimt boss. The return game will be played at Aspmyra on May 8. The final will be played in Bilbao 21 May.
