Bodø/Glimt boss admits he's in the dark before Sporting clash | OneFootball

Sporting hosts Bodø/Glimt this Tuesday, in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, after losing 3-0 in Norway. And when talking about the European clash, Kjetil Knutsen admits that he doesn’t know which opponent he will face, he only knows for sure that Sporting will press hard from the start and will try to restore their image.

“It’s impossible to guess what Sporting will do, we could flip a coin to find out. It’s impossible to know. I trust my team, they are ready to attack. We will give our all for the best result,” projected the Norwegian coach at the pre-match press conference, then highlighting the main green and white threats he expects.

“I am sure they will press hard from the beginning and will have their chances, but we are aware of that and prepared to deal with it. I am sure Sporting’s players will show us a different image in the second leg. It’s very important that we are able to hold on defensively, so it will be a very interesting game.”

Making this clear, Kjetil Knutsen emphasized the mentality brought to Alvalade: “We are not thinking about the next game, we are thinking about how we will present ourselves tomorrow. We are thinking about the present. The team is prepared to withstand the pressure.”
