TRONDHEIM (VG) (Rosenborg-Bodø / Glimt 0-0) Those who hope for a clarification of the situation of Kjetil Knutsen should not hold their breath right away.
– I feel it has been very clear. When I have something to report, I will report it. If you ask one question or a hundred, the answer will be exactly the same, Knutsen says to the microphone-equipped “wolf pack” after the match.
– How close are you to a decision?

– I think it’s very wise that I do not suggest anything, because then I get even more questions. So the answer is the same one I have been giving all along.
Bad to lie
Knutsen says that he has realized that he is very wanted, and that he will make an overall assessment before he decides. To Adresseavisen he says that it is not something he just says; he has not decided.
– I have not made a decision. I’m very bad at lying, so it’s the right answer, and the only answer, says Knutsen.
– If you want to continue in Glimt, you should not just say it, and get all your shoulders down in Nordland.
– Yes, but it is a decision that I must grasp, so I can not ask everyone in Nordland or Trøndelag. It must be a decision that I takes, which I feel is right. That there is a lot of talk about both in Norland and Trøndelag, I can not spend so much time on.
In the match itself, Knutsen was tackled hard by Rosenborg’s Edvard Tagseth:
– I have torn off a thigh muscle, so it tore well in what is left. I knew it, but I feel it was a pure tackle. You only have to get away from the technical zone, when the tackles are as they are. It went well, says Knutsen in the press zone after the match.
From the TV pictures, it looked like Tagseth sent some words to Knutsen after the tackle.
– He apologized, and probably said something like “now at least you will not come to Trondheim”, says a laughing Knutsen.
Praise for the tackle
The culprit himself laughs at the incident afterwards, and confirms the comment.
– I thought I had to make something fun out of it afterwards. It looked like it was going well. I did not hear what he said back. I do not think he has changed his mind as a result of that tackle, says Tagseth, to VG.
At the same time as VG interviews Tagseth, the Glimt coach comes by.
– It was a wonderful tackle, says Knutsen smiling, and teases Tageth.
– I thought it was shoulder out of joint, says Tagseth.
