Subpage under development, new version coming soon!
Subject: U21 skravleplassen
I am ready, I have tactical support from the Polish crisra team coach, I was already the guardian of the u21 teams, so challenges are not difficult for me :)
I have now submitted my candidacy. As a former U21 coach of Austria and already participated in 3 or 4 world championships. I would only take over for one season here in Norway. I am convinced that my experience will help me to achieve good results at the World Championships. And otherwise I will do my duty with honor and play one match every week and prepare the squad for the next season.
A Friendly with sweden U21 we have to play tomorrow,with our new U21.
All players have participate in some matches this season,so there are no debuts.
What i believe about Norway??They can have again a fine U21 in 1-2 seasons!!
Norway Academies create lot of talents and if someone care about them
Norway can be a strong U21 and NT in the future.
Many ppl disappointed about rumors (the game will close and such),and i understand
many they miss their intresting for the game.
But the game will never close or at least will close in the near future.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ove Gjesdal,a fine goalkeeper,need help at pace.
Viktor Liseth a very good defender he can help both NT,Einar Sørgård,Arnstein Stenersen
and Carl Ernst Husum are some from our good defenders.
Bad news for the midfields line.Ove Grønli i never get his skills,but he is already
a first eleven midfield with this and the previous U21!!
I will have to add him skills to have him in data ...but for now is out injured for 15 days.
I hope he will be ready for the WC.
Jan Stendal he has already 15 matches and he can be a fine midfield.
Sindre Nistad at strikers,im waiting for skills update, Oliver Nystrøm he is start scoring already
at derbys,Sigurd Nordmark he is our last discover striker talent,
and i'm waiting the update of Mats Nordanger,and the improve and form up of Terje Severinsen,a fine talent!
Sverige U21 - Norge U21 0:1
Difficult win,hard to break such a good line defence,we have not top strikers yet,but we did it.
Sigurd Nordmark (20) at his debut score the win goal.

I have now watched the game and I have seen a quite balanced game with a happy ending for Norway!
I have already taken the first notes from some players. I can only say the following that the Norwegian goalie struck me positively! At the World Cup, Norway will have a very difficult position one way or another, but nothing is impossible, as I already proved at the World Cup with Austria. You don't just need luck there, you also need clever tactical skills!

There are more options in defense and in the midle,meaby i will use more in the next match,
in defense we have a great talent,best of all,Odin Njærheim (19 y.) soon he will be ready to use him.
With the proper training,Norway,can be a strong team for the Next WC.
Noone can build a team in 1 season,but he can build solid foundations for the future.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have problem with the keepers for the next season,many ppl do a mistake
keeping players from the same country for their team,we can't training all lines,
and we lost many talents.

Is the last season match,unfortunately i deal for it when Norway was an abandoned team,
and i didn't know what team i will found at the previous and at the next season.
Anyway,is a chance for us to see more players in the field,and the new coach see almost
everything about our players.
======================
It was an excited season,i found a good team with National players and some weakness ofc,
teams like Norway can't be perfect (38 users).
I make some players updates some ppl dont answer at my mails,and i wish the next coach be more lucky about.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Syver Røine(21) debut as a keeper,he is not bad.
Defenders
Peter Kvalsvik(21) checking again his pace for this match,i will never get his skills,
his owner seems left sokker.1 more player i will have to add skills,so we don't lose him.
Henning Veum(21) some improves at his pace,i will check him again.
Odin Njærheim(19) great talent,time for his debut.
At the midfield,Ole Skeide(21) a def-mid he can help, Emil Skotnes(20) he can improve his game,
debut for him and checking,Tarjei Brandt(21) in the first half and Vebjørn Kvande(21) at the second,
they will try to organize the passing game.
Not much to say for the strikers line,i have already told about at the previous match.
Not many options here.
----------------------------------
I wish the best for Norway and the new coach
Pilipinas U21 - Norge U21 (Link will be available when friendly is done)
1) Thx you very much Tolis for your work and congratulations to your victory in Hellas.
2) As U21 coach, I am now the only scout to have written a roundmail to many managers and already the first answers have arrived, but the work is not finished, but I still have about 2 weeks to sell Norway's skin at the World Cup as expensive as possible (lol)
So, in the morning there is an important friendly for me. We're playing against Pilipinas and my experience has shown that it wasn't pleasant for me, but it's definitely a good thing to test my tactics and I'll test the one and the other player there.
Let's go!

Match report
82 minutes.
Skeide's trying to get through. Sørgård had trouble catching the ball. Sørgård sends a high ball. Nordanger gets close to the ball. Nordanger shoots... Vincent rejects the ball with one punch. Nystrøm approaches the ball. Nystrøm hits him with everything...
GOOOOOOL!!!
Pilipinas U21 - Norge U21 0:1
I saw a good game. We were very dominant in the midfield and we took over the match right away. Our opponent could only shine with dangerous counters and they almost scored a goal. We had a lot of chances in the front, we even missed a penalty, but in the end we scored a goal and won the game.
I've now received a lot of feedback from our guys' skills and got access to the U21 database. We have some really good guys and some very usable guys! I will use the next match to test more players and other tactics. Time is short, but I will do my best!

Nice win,yes you need some matches to know your team and deside how to play.
Very very difficult Group for Norway,unfortunately.
My account in data was with very low rights,so i could't help with this at all!
Good luck!

News from the U21:
I have now received a lot of feedback and many updates, which I have now updated. I'm really happy about that, there are actually some useful players. We have a very good goalkeeper, we have a quite wide range of defenders (that surprised me) and we have 4-5 good midfielders. On the other hand, our strikers are only quite average for the U21s (however, we have 2 young strikers who were born a year too early, but can already compete with the 21 year olds). With luck and good tactics, we can pull something out of the World Cup!
To the goalkeeper: Unfortunately our best goalie Ove Gjesdal has injured himself and he will be injured for another 17 days, which means he will miss at least 2 games at the world championship. That's bitter news, now it's time for his replacement Syver Røine!
To today's game: We'll test against Serbia. It's my last chance to test new tactics and new players. The line-up is different than last week and I am curious how well it will be received. Serbia is a strong opponent and easy to favor in this match.

Srbija U21 - Norge U21 1:1
I saw two games. One was in the first half and the other in the second half!
Our substitute goalkeeper did a good job and made a few bigsaves. Amazing for his skills.
The defense in the first half showed a better performance than in the second half. In contrast to the previous game 3 new defenders played this time. So it will be very difficult for me to decide which defenders will play next week. Peter Kvalsvik, whose skills are still unknown to us, also has no guaranteed game, but he hasn't shown a bad performance in the last two games.
I am satisfied with our midfielder. We have very hardworking fighters there! Although we don't have Maradona in the squad, everyone supports each other.
Our attack had a little more trouble than against Pilipinas, but that had two reasons and it was intended to test like that.
Overall, Serbia was a bit stronger in this game, but we had a real chance to win this game and that is important to realize.
Next week we will play the first World Cup match!
