Goodbye

“Everything has an end. An earthworm it has two” is a very famous line in a Danish song and i don’t know why i write this, but it is very appropriate as a start to this story. A Dane will understand… Trust me. Well i haven’t wrote this story to talk about earthworms or whales, witch is what the song is about. I write this story to end a legacy… no two legacies.

Sometimes you have to chance things around your team and sometimes those chances comes quicker than expected. Sometime things are going so well that the time is right to think more about the future than the exact we are in. Tonight the sporting management of MS Odense has decided to switch the training more than once for the rest of the season and it is time to get some new and younger blood into the squad. That also mean that we have to say goodbye to some.

“We are in a process of making a much better MS Odense than ever seen and Baba, Mojo, Rex and the rest of the young players are being guided well so they can take over from Ørbæk, Ebbensgaard and others in a couple of season. Looking at how the season has been until know we know are on the verge to face some serious competition in the coming seasons and that is why we act now. The time is right with the strength we have vs the other team in our division. Because of this situation we are on the transfer market right now to find new and younger attacking players. That is also why we have come to an agreement with two of our legends to retire and enter MSO Hall Of Fame. It is both with a bit of sorrow and also with great pride that we can announce Serif Bosnjak and Alfred Burch to be our new Hall Of Fame inductee. Both players has done very well for Runenberg, Sigulda and us. Both players has proven them self as great strikers and without a doubt they will retire as Golden League legends too. We can’t thank Serif and Alfred enough for the work they have done for the team, for the club. We can’t thank them enough for their many goals and also for making us a lot better than before they joined the club” said manager Hojris at a press conference at MS Park only minutes ago.

The legendary duo will play their last game in Cairo on Wednesday. When MS Odense takes on The Warriors of Sahura. At the same time MS Odense would like to welcome Ivan Leijonblad to the club. The Danish talent will be joined by a striker or two in the days to come.

Golden Boys In Brunei

The future of MS Odense has landed in Bandar Seri Begawan and the players are now on a bus ride from Lapanga Terbang Antarabangsa Airport to Muara, where Second Foundation’s stadium Star’s End Arena is placed on Jalan Pelumpong. The Danish club will be staying at the Navy gym and swimming pool center (NGS Center) as long as they are in Brunei. The NGS Center is placed only minutes away from Star’s End Arena and the players are in a area with long beaches and chances to take boat trips on the Brunei Bay.

“This is a beautiful place to be and i am happy that i accepted coach Kamaruddin challenge. We are looking forward to get a chance to have our training session on Star’s End Arena at 21:00 local time tonight before our game tomorrow at 11:00 (05:00am cet)” coach Ivo Vacatko told MSO Blog on a phone from Brunei on the other side of the world. We also asked him about tomorrows game against Second Foundation.

“I expect it to be a good and entertaining match for both Second Foundation, their fans and also for us. We haven’t traveled this far to crush our opponent. We have come here to test our self and try some new things. We have a lot of young players in the squad and many of them can play in different positions on the field and we will try to see how it will go with that tomorrow. Also we have to learn our yong players to take responsibility and we also have to find the leaders among them. Johannes and Baba is some of them and we also believe in Emin and he will get the chance to be team captain for the very first time tomorrow. We will also try a couple of different and new midfield combinations and hopefully we will be able to play a good match and also take 3 points with us home to Denmark” said Vacatko on the phone and he also gave us the starting lineup for tomorrows encounter…

1. Emin ‘The Emperor’ Allahverdiyev (C)
2. Kenneth ‘Drillo’ Tverberg
3. Balázs ‘Belzebub’ Pesztránszki
6. Szergej ‘Mojo’ Németh
7. Johannes ‘Rex’ Skals Jensen
12. Michael Agerbæk
13. Hamid Baba Mohammadi
15. Alfred ‘Alpine Express’ Burch
16. Ricco ‘Glue Glove’ Pilgaard
17. Apollon Ziu
18. Alfred ‘Eagle-Eye’ Lindberg

“We have a generation of golden boys in Odense and i think it is the time to test their strength as a unit and we do not do this to underestimate Second Foundation – We would have done this any way. It might cost us the win against an inform home team, but we also have to look at a wider perspective that just this game. With that being said, MS Odense is still the favorites. We have to begin looking at the players who can take over from our first team players in a season or two and that process begin this week. Make no mistake about it though. My team tomorrow might be young and inexperienced, but they are very talented. Emin has already shown his potential. Johannes is a natural leaders and a strong player. Mojo and Baba has the potential to become big players and so have Belzebub and Drillo. Finally we will also give debut to Michael Agerbæk – A technical wonder with some good attacking skills. Yes we are ready – ready to test our self and ready to test and shake the foundation of Second Foundation” was the last words from coach Vacatko.

Bruised And Lucky – Bosnjak 38

He has just started season number 21 of his career and he almost had to retire earlier today. Because of it is his birthday it seems appropriate to celebrate one of Golden League’s greatest strikers and most famous faces.

Mister Golden League Serif Bosnjak turned 38 today and was very lucky that the rough handling by Longhornigar only ended with him being bruised as it easily could have ended with a career ending injury for the former FC Sigulda 08 player. Serif Bosnjak is the most scoring player in the Golden League since it started 6 seasons ago. The Latvian striker was the top scorer of season 1 and 2 – Representing Sigulda – and he was number 2 on the list of when season 3 ended only weeks ago.

Bosnjak transferred from Sigulda to Odense for the price of 400.000$. The transfer was made 35 weeks ago and Mister Golden League has continued to score ever since. He has scored 2 goals so far this season.

Happy birthday Serif.
