The yellow jerseys brought 2-0 in the bag when they went to Rome to meet Lazio in the second quarterfinals. Lazio struck back. Led 3-0 and smelled the semi -finals. But then Andreas Helmersen showed up and secured a penalty shootout. There, Nikita Haikin stood as the Savior, and sent Glimt to a historical semi -final. Against Tottenham. Tonight it will be decided which of the two will go to Bilbao in late May to play the final. Ulrik Saltnes put in the important 1-3 score against Tottenham in London. Photo: AFP that Glimt will be able to continue, after the 1-3 loss in London may seem impossible. &#8220;There is nothing rational to indicate that Glimt will beat Tottenham with three goals,&#8221; says news sports commentator Jan Petter Saltvedt. But there are those who believe in a final place for Bod\u00f8\/Glimt. And here are some of the reasons why they talk about a trip to Bilbao in Bod\u00f8: The artificial turf at Aspmyra Every time Bod\u00f8\/Glimt plays Europe Cup, Aspmyra Stadium becomes a theme. Not only is the plant old and slightly dilapidated, but the artificial turf is starting to become a little notorious. It is different to play on artificial turf. &#8211; Put on the tip, there are almost two different sports, explains news&#8217;s \u200b\u200bfootball expert Kristoffer L\u00f8kberg. &#8211; The ball goes much faster on artificial turf. Reception and acquisition will be different and you have to turn a little differently on the ball. If you are used to playing on artificial turf, it goes on autopilot. But if you come from an everyday life on grass, it will take some time to get used to. L\u00f8kberg also says that it is different to run and turn on artificial turf. &#8211; It&#8217;s not like you get the same response from the substrate when you have rapid change of direction on artificial turf. Which means you have to customize your defense game a bit. You may need some time to do that. And time does not have Tottenham tonight, he says. It knows &#8220;Spurs&#8221;. Even before the match in London, Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou and the club talked about the deck of Aspmyra. &#8220;It&#8217;s going to be tough, because it&#8217;s another course, another sport,&#8221; said Dejan Kulusvski when he met the press after beating Bod\u00f8\/Glimt 3-1. Neither keeper Guglielmo Vicario is impressed. And the speech is clear: Glimt has won nine of the last ten home matches in Europe. One of the reasons is that Aspmyra is starting to become mythic, Jan Petter Saltvedt believes. &#8211; Tottenham has been told about this so many times now, the whole myth of what meets them in Bod\u00f8. This artificial turf that becomes more and more difficult to play every time you talk about it, he says. But the artificial grass in Aspmyra is not the only thing that can overturn the Tottenham lass tonight. Patrick Berg and H\u00e5kon Evjen These two players have dominated in the midfield of Bod\u00f8\/Glimt. Berg as the upset anchor who wins the ball and pushes it further. Evjen with the light step and the fine technique, which danced around the Lazio players at Aspmyra. In the first settlement against Tottenham, both were quarantined. Now they are back. &#8211; Patrick Berg has almost done nothing but playing in the central midfield role in Glimt for several years. He can almost perform that role in the blind, says Kristoffer L\u00f8kberg. &#8211; When you get in the players who are familiar with their roles and know the players around, the interaction will be better. Things are going to happen a little faster. For Tottenham, it&#8217;s almost the opposite. Patrick Berg joined London, although he could not play. Photo: news James Maddison and Son Heung-Min for While Glimt has got two of their most important players in place, Tottenham must manage without two of their jokers. Both James Maddison and Son Heung-min are out with injury. &#8211; They are among Tottenham&#8217;s clearly best players. There are those who can create things on their own and maybe get Tottenham out of trouble during tough periods, says L\u00f8kberg. In addition, the tip is uncertain. &#8211; If he can&#8217;t play, you start wondering who should score goals for Tottenham. And a key for Tottenham today is to score. And the Tottenham players who finally go out on Aspmyra tonight have an unusual pressure on their shoulders. James Maddison put in 2-0 when Glimt met Tottenham in London. Photo: Reuters The pressure on Tottenham Tottenham is a great power in European football. According to the Transfermarkt.com website, the London Club&#8217;s stable is worth almost 840 million euros. Glimt&#8217;s stable is valued at EUR 43 million. Tottenham has won both the former cup winner cup (1962\/63) and what was previously called the UEFA Cup (1971\/72 and 1983\/84). But this season, the giant from London has worn. In the Premier League they are in 16th place. &#8211; Glimt goes out on Aspmyra tonight with nothing to lose. It will be a gigantic riot if they get to the final, while the whole season of Tottenham stands and falls on the fact that they get to Bilbao, says L\u00f8kberg. -If Ange Postecoglou is unable to take his team to a final today, I think he is finished as Tottenham manager. In Glimt, on the other hand, you do not talk much about results. Bod\u00f8\/Glimts supporters marched from the Seven Sisters train station to Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium. The philosophy of Glimt &#8211; what is a good result tomorrow? The question was asked to center stopper Jostein Gundersen during the press conference before the match against Tottenham in London. &#8211; In Bod\u00f8\/Glimt we do not talk about results, Gundersen replied, while coach Kjetil Knutsen leaned back in the chair and smiled. Because in Bod\u00f8\/Glimt they do not talk about results. They talk about achievement and learning. They gather in the ring before the match. And if they let go of goals, they re -gather in Ring to remind each other what to do and what to focus on. &#8211; That philosophy has taken a glimpse where they are today. And that&#8217;s what will take them further too. It is a mindset that removes a lot of pressure on the players, says L\u00f8kberg. &#8211; If you focus on work tasks and what you can do something about, then you will not be pulled in all directions when it starts to be talked about that &#8220;today we must win&#8221;. But ultimately it is about the 11 players in yellow at Aspmyra tonight. And they seem to believe that they can accomplish another miracle. Faith can move mountains &#8211; the press play to Tottenham is the ass, Bod\u00f8\/Glimts Right -back Fredrik Sj\u00f8vold told the press after losing 1-3 in London. He moderated some notches eventually, but the tone of the Glimt players was still very positive. &#8211; We welcome them to Aspmyra, we know on the body that we can compete against this team here. There are good opportunities, says Jostein Gundersen. &#8211; We see that it is possible to create things against this team here. We hope that they will struggle on Aspmyra with the weather conditions and the ground, says Ole Didrik Blomberg. Kristoffer L\u00f8kberg was himself in London when Glimt and Tottenham met last. He was impressed with the booths after a match. Kristoffer L\u00f8kberg was impressed by Glimt in London. Photo: H\u00e5vard Greger Hagen \/ news-Rarely I have seen anyone being so tall and dark after losing 1-3, and for good reason. Glimt knows how good they are at Aspmyra. And the reduction to Ulrik Saltnes not only gave hope, but an actual belief that it is possible to reach the final. &#8211; What will be the key tonight? &#8211; It will be a rhythm of high pace from the first second, so they really let Tottenham feel it. At the same time, they must not be stressed. A smooth drive that forces Tottenham to have to run for a ball, will be enough to score enough goals during the 90 minutes. And when the whistle goes, Glimt stands together. Something that has been their great strength for a long time. Do you believe in a glimpse miracle on Aspmyra? Yes, this can go no, now it is running the result the collective Bod\u00f8\/Glimt &#8211; Bod\u00f8\/Glimt&#8217;s strength lies in the collective. And it is so crazy when the same eleven play together over time, says L\u00f8kberg. There is little doubt; Player by player is Tottenham at a completely different level than Glimt. But the sum of eleven players can sometimes be better than each player. And just the collective is the biggest advantage for Bod\u00f8\/Glimt, says Kasper Wikestad. He will comment on the match tonight. Viaplay commentator Kasper Wikestad gives Bod\u00f8\/Glimt a 30 percent chance of moving on. Photo: Daniel Sannum Lauten \/ TV 2 &#8211; Bod\u00f8 \/ Glimt is basically a team without the big stars, but who has many continuity carriers. They have people who set the standard every single day. &#8211; Then they have a tactical setup that everyone knows very, very well, and the sum of it becomes a team that is far stronger than each player, Wikestad concludes.
