That makes me very optimistic about 2008. Our goal is to qualify for Europe again and with the experience we have got from international matches the last years I think we have the chance of reaching Europe again – and do even better than at previous attempts.

 

In the last match of the season we beat Sparta 3-1 away. Sparta did not impress me at all. They were better when we met them at home earlier in the season (1-0). We deserved all three points, and I hope we will stay just as focused when we play Excelsior at Euroborg 10 days.

 

I was out of action for last matches of 2007, but I am optimistic about being back on the pitch after the break. I am back in Norway now, relaxing with my family. I hope everyone have had a happy holiday!

 

Cheers and happy new year!
