Norwegian football is shaken by a scandal.
After Viking defeated Rosenborg by 2-1 a riot erupted. There, Swedish Marcus Tjärnberg, assistant coach, linked the head coach Alfred Johansson, a lane on the Viking star Zlakto Tripic.
What happened will have consequences for Tjärnberg, RBK announces.
– After tonight’s match between Viking and Rosenborg, a situation arose between Zlatko Tripic and Adrian Pereira (player in RBK, ed. An.), Where Tripic strangled Adrian. This does not belong on a football pitch and it is up to Viking to do a follow -up, says Tore Berdal, CEO of RBK, in a statement.
He continues:
– After this, our coach, Marcus Tjärnberg, reacted far too strongly and strangled Tripic. This is completely unacceptable on our part and something we as a club deeply regret. This will have consequences for Marcus and we will follow up on the case when we have all the facts on the table, says Berdal.

Tjärnbergs acted as Swedish RBK coach Alfred Johansson is also condemned.
– He (Tjärnberg) tries to grind Zlatko from Adrian, but it is done in a way that is far too gross and violent. We can’t have it that way, he tells TV 2 and continues:
– It is unacceptable, but we have a pereira in there (in the dressing room) that has three brands on the neck from the thrip from Tripic, says Johansson.
In the turmoil, Judge Kristoffer Hagenes distributed two red cards.
“It doesn’t belong on a football field,” he tells TV 2.
Simen Stamsø-Møller, expert commentator, wants to see a longer shutdown for Tjärnberg.
– These are terrible pictures from a person in Rosenborg’s support apparatus that behaves in this way, he tells TV 2.
