Jonathan's Corner

av hovedtrener Jonathan Hill

It’s always a good experience to play against an elite series club.

When you play a second team, You never know which players you are going to face, but we know that every Vålerenga player will be technically, tactically and physically very good.

1 point separates both teams. So the game should be very interesting. Vålerenga have played 3 of the top five teams in their first 4 games, so their current league position does not reflect how good a team they are.

We will be expecting a tough game but we look forward to the challenge and experience at the impressive Intility Arena.

For those of you that are not familiar with TUIL, we are a club that is making steady progress on and off the field. We are a proud club from the North.

We have invested heavily in the stadium, floodlight, training facilities infrastructure, to benefit all our members, regardless of their playing ability.

We are a club that wants to return and sustain our status in the Top divisions in Norwegian football, whilst also cooperating with our players, so they can play at the highest level tgat their potential allows.

We know that this is not a simple task. The 2020 season has seen 5 of our first team squad move clubs for A team challenges.

Sebastian Tounekti and Kent Malik moves to Bodø/Glimt. Tomas Kristoffersen moves to Sogndal, Sander Ringberg moves to Sandnes Ulf. George Lewis moves to Arsenal. We have recruited well and have promoted many younger players from our development team, into the A team.

We hope that everyone watching or involved with the game enjoys it, but we hope to return North with 3 points.

Thank you in advance from TUIL to Vålerenga for their hospitality and we hope 2020 season is a rewarding season for your club.

Regards, Jon
