Wool / Kisa 0–0 ON
1) Fitim Azemi
Friday’s training match was Azemi’s first since leaving TIL in December. The tip is the one to shoot TIL to the top of the 1st division, but it was a completely mediocre return for the 27-year-old, where it was a good quarter before the tip on lending from Stabæk was involved in the match.
Still, it was bright spot to track. On one corner, Azemi had a spectacular volley, but the keeper had a good chance at the try. Shortly afterwards, the mercenary was given a few useful opportunities, with no significant results.
Azemi’s comeback hardly goes in the gold books history books, but occasionally the TIL tip showed positive trends.
2) High flying mid stopers
Let there be no doubt: TIL’s lighthouse at the back, with Simen Wangberg and Lars Sætra at the forefront, will win many matches in TIL’s favor this season with scores on death ball.
Against Ull / Kisa, the clearest chance of the match was created after a corner, where Sætra crushed one of the home team’s stoppers in the head duel. The keeper was able to save the attempt but got a free kick to TIL stopper Jostein Gundersen who, under heavy pressure, failed to hit the ball in the net from five yards.
But these situations are emerging time and time again in the summer and fall, and hopefully they are in target for TIL’s part.
3) Zzzzzz
It’s not to be concealed: The fight was a sleep-wrenching affair, where TIL created very few real goals against Ull / Kisa. The yellow-clad from Jessheim is a solid 1st division team, but “Gutan” should certainly create more than this should there be promotion fever in Tromsø this fall.
TIL’s tedious style of play can have trouble breaking down defensive walls like Ull / Kisa this season.
4) TIL’s best box opener
TIL created little, but the one who managed to open the home team defense to the greatest extent was Ruben Yttergård Jenssen. From his deep midfield role, he managed, with a delicate little pass, to find Daniel Berntsen on the run in the back room after half an hour played.
Yttergård Jenssen is one of the biggest profiles of the TIL team, and he is expected to be the conductor at midfield this year. In this way, the Ull / Kisa fight was a step in the right direction.
At the moment Helstrup and TIL are completely dependent on Yttergård Jensen’s precise footing.
5) Good control defensively
TIL did not create the big momentum in the field, but neither did the yellow-clad Jessheim, except for a couple of half chances on the tamp.
The defense of Helstrup’s men seems to be at the station, where the midstop trio Jostein Gundersen, Simen Wangberg and Lars Sætra had good control of Ull / Kisa’s late attempts.
