Cold rain was not enough to stop Tottenham, who are used to winter football and a nasty English climate. The yellow fortress of Aspmyra cracked enough for the Premier League club to resist and exploit their chances for a 0-2 victory. All credit to the multi-millionaires from London who did not allow themselves to be distracted. Mickey van de Ven put it so elegantly before the game: We have to play more like Bodø/Glimt. So, any reason to hang out with the yawn in Bodø, apart from the fact that it would have tasted like a final? Definitely not!
When media from all over the world travel to Bodø a week before the second leg against Tottenham at Aspmyra, this says everything about what a gigantic performance the whole of Bodø is behind. Because it is precisely all of it, which has provided the basis for the sporting success.

The BBC wrote it aptly after the Lazio match at Aspmyra in full winter weather: “Volunteers had to shovel the pitch, but the Bodø/Glimt players made sure that they were rewarded for their efforts”.
In the stands at Aspmyra, a yellow horde has given their players a support that sparkles with energy, the same at the away games.
The whole of Norway has been part of the journey to the club, the players, Kjetil Knutsen and the city of Bodø. For that, we thank you very much.

“Mini” Jacobsen believes Kjetil Knutsen must now take advantage of the opportunity to lead a bigger club out in Europe. We rather say: Forget Leeds, forget Rangers, Kjetil Knutsen does not have to leave Bodø/Glimt.
