After clash with Bodø/Glimt, Norway boss slams Sporting duo | OneFootball

Stale Solbakken, the coach of Norway, did not miss the opportunity to analyze the Norwegian players who have been making a splash in the current edition of the Champions League and was, on Wednesday night, at the Aspmyra Stadium to watch the Bodø/Glimt - Sporting match.

Sporting—without mentioning any names—who, in his opinion, may have neglected the team's defensive process.

"Sporting has lethal attacking players at its disposal. However, they became featherweights. There were two who did not fulfill their defensive duties in the best way. It was almost sabotage," said Stale Solbakken, in statements to 'NRK'. In the same article, the publication highlighted the difference in kilometers covered by the players of each team last night, citing official UEFA data.

"UEFA data shows that star forward Luis Suárez (not the Liverpool icon) covered 9.2 kilometers during the entire match. Three of the Sporting players who played the full game covered less than 10 kilometers. In comparison, all ten Glimt outfield players who started the match ended up running more than 10 kilometers. In total, the Norwegian team ran 123.5 kilometers, compared to Sporting's 113.2," it reads.
