Those who followed Ole Gunnar’s journey as Besiktas coach may have seen the Turkish club’s creative video clips with Solskjaer as Viking chief and the players out on a raid against city rivals Fenerbahce or Galatasaray. This resulted in victories in both games for Besiktas. Inter Milan tried the same “good-luck video” before their match against Bodø/Glimt, where the Italian monster snake was on a food expedition at Aspmyra. When Bodø/Glimt now come for the second leg, Inter wisely move away from the Viking-inspired trailer, where it was the Inter snake that ended up being “chopped to pieces”.
We have seen it before from the European big clubs before the match at Aspmyra. The clubs’ Instagram accounts are filled with cozy tourist videos from exotic Bodø. Then comes the bang on Aspmyra and the “trailer” for the match seems somewhat naïve.

Inter Milan chose to use history and mythology in their “trailer” before Aspmyra. A funny thing, which was not exactly followed up, with a 3-1 loss to the monster snake, almost bigger than Aspmyra.
When Inter Milan welcomes you to the second leg, it’s back to basics. Here the opponents are completely ignored, now it is about the will to win, the power of the supporters and the Champions League play-offs that are still “completely open”.
Then we will see if this brings more luck and luck for Italy’s best club against Bodø/Glimt, still out of season.
