And we are sent on a spiritual journey to the past. The time we were hated by all lovers of the sport, but actually won games. The most memorable being coming back against Brazil in the '98 World Championship in Marseille. Ten years later we havent won a game in a year, and we are last in the group. South Africa is ten oceans away and we dont have a boat anymore. Unless our new captain can repaire the damage and get the ship floating again. 

I guess the first thing is to make the midfield and defence unpenetratable. We are looking for people with "extreme qualities". Meaning a really tall guy that can use his head or a really fast guy or a guy who runs forever or a guy who is superduperfast or a player who is creative. There is no mentioning of technical skills. According to "the professor" the style of play is going to be more direct. Less passing sideways and probably no passing backwords. Meaning that they are going to lay low and thunder forward whenever they get a hold of the ball.

Drillos first match will be a friendly against Germany. Visiting. Maybe a perfect first match since nobody expects anything. A result though, could light a fire under their asses and then nobody knows anything anymore. I dont really see that coming, and the reason is the players and the fact that football has changed alot since Solskjær, Bohinen, Haaland and Johnsen found their 15 minutes of fame. It has been mentioned that old goalie Grodås (froggie) and Solskjær could be a part of the new regime. Back in the day Norway had many good players, not really really good, but international standard. Now we have a few. Carew and Gamst being the two most obvious. 

Drillo says he is going to try new players. Players with one extreme quality each. It will be interesting, but in my heart, I really hope he don't try to ruin football again. Its nice to win, especially because we are so small, but its hurting everyone who loves football if he tries to do it the Bolton-way.
