Match

10 matches without a win for Aalesund

The run now stands at 10, and the questions being asked around Aalesund are no longer polite ones.

Market

Davíð Snær Jóhannsson hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Aalesund can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Anders Klynge runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 30. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Only the photograph left for Jørgen Bøe

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Jørgen Bøe will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Aalesund the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Tempers go at Aalesund

Anders Klynge was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Boardroom

298% of the income goes out in wages at Aalesund

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad

Paul Ngongo gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

A bad afternoon for Aalesund against Molde

0‑1 to Molde, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

The one thing Paul Ngongo could not do

Shots: 7, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

Match

The cup run ends for Aalesund

0‑0 against Molde, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Match

No end in sight to Aalesund's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Aalesund has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings

Anders Klynge runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 31. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Kristoffer Klaesson decides it from twelve yards

1 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Player ratings

Elias Hagen shuts the door

Defensive actions: 25, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad

Tempers go at Aalesund

Kristoffer Klaesson was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Kristoffer Klaesson

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

A bad afternoon for Aalesund against Rosenborg

0‑1 to Rosenborg, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Simen Haram

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 18 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.
