— It comes down to minute’s decision whether we will take a player or not.
— You decide, regardless of how much Dorsin wants a player?
– – Yes.
— How important is it to a head coach?
— It’s important, because you have to have players who can execute your thoughts. No one has 100 per cent the same mindset about any player, and neither do Geir (Frigård, editor’s note) and I. It is important that you find a personality, someone who is trainable, someone who has ambitions to deliver for Rosenborg, and then we have to do a thorough review.

In recent months, Nettavisen has written several stories about the millionaire party that has characterized the Eliteserien in the past year .

— When you are now probing the terrain, do you notice that clubs veterinarian that Rosenborg caretaker in with a lot, and that the market price increases because of that?
— Yes, it may very well be that someone hopes so, if painted then we just travel out. We also set a limit ourselves. If we think we should pay five million kroner for a player and the demand is ten, then we will drop out, emphasizes Rekdal. — We have been put back
Molde was impossible to deal with last season and could finally cheer for league gold after an insane 78 points.
22 points further down the table, Rosenborg grabbed the bronze medal. This winter, both the reigning league champions and Bodø/Glimt have strengthened themselves strongly, male Rekdal believes male will see a far more even season than what was the case last time.

In Rosenborg, expectations will always deal with gold, Males Rekdal acknowledges that the team has been set back since last season.
