From our football correspondent Steady

Market

Hakon Odegaard asks to leave Tromso

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Jens Erling Risvand

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Fredrik Ajer’s move to Raufoss falls through

The deal that would have taken Fredrik Ajer to Raufoss has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Tromso with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Tromso — 7.90

1 for Giovanni Giunti, marked 7.90, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad

Words exchanged at Tromso

Henrik Riise and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A row about effort at Tromso

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Giovanni Giunti was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets

Brann tell Tromso: William Wendt is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match

Tromso caught on 88 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Ranheim scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

Player ratings

Thomas Elyounoussi will replay that one

1 error, one goal, and a night in front of the same three seconds. He will see it tonight, tomorrow and probably in February, and everybody who has played knows exactly which frame he keeps stopping on.

In brief
