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

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

Sporting - without mentioning names - which, in his opinion, neglected the team's defensive process.

"Sporting has lethal offensive players at its disposal. However, they became lightweights. There were two who did not fulfill their defensive duties in the best way. It was almost sabotage," stated Stale Solbakken, in comments to 'NRK'. In the same article, the publication highlighted the difference in kilometers covered by the players of both teams 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 game. Three of the Sporting players who played the full match 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.
