Player ratings26 Jun 2028
Both of them Mohamed Ofkir's — 8.60
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.60, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Aaron Kiil Olsen frozen out at Valerenga
This is not rotation. Aaron Kiil Olsen has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Valerenga is pretending otherwise.

Vilmer Brunskog says Valerenga went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Dennis Gjengaar wants more than Valerenga are offering
“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

A falling-out at Valerenga
Henrik Skogvold and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The manager makes an example of Petter Strand
“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.
Match24 Jun 2028
Valerenga and Kristiansund take a point apiece
It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.
The dugout26 Jun 2028
Ole Bohinen: “We have to be better”
“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 2‑2 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Words at Valerenga training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gabriel Oddvar Opsahl is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
