Toke Lundager (Studio Pic/left): “Hello everybody and welcome to the MSO TV live. My name is Toke Lundager and i will guide you through an interesting game. To help me here in the studio in Odense i have Mission Superliga Legend ‘The Natural Born Leader’ Kenneth Ebbensgaard to help me with the pre-show and to analyse this evenings two encounters. First we will go live to Italy where our colleges Kasper Ørbæk and Golden League Legend Alfred Burch will do the commentaries from Italy when Odense visit The Bad Bergamot Seeds”.
Alfred Burch (Stadium pic/right): “Thank you very much guys and to our viewers. Welcome to “Where the Wild Roses Grow” arena in Lombardia, Italy. Tonight’s encounter between The Bad Bergamot Seeds amd Mission Superliga Odense is the first between the two teams and it is a Golden League match. My name is Alfred Burch and i have the former Odense captain Kasper Ørbæk with me to analyse and comment on tonight’s match. Let’s take a look at the Odense lineup Kasper. What can you tell about”.
Kasper Ørbæk (Stadium pic/left): “The Odense squad is very inexperienced Alfred, but i tell you they have some good talents. Number 2, the former The Warriors of Sahura talent, Diaa Zaabalawy is still relative new in the squad. He is young and has some good defensive qualities, but he has also scored a lot of goals when he played in Egypt. Still we have to see him score a goal for Odense. Tonight there is comeback to number 13 The Doc – The Australian striker Doc Afaeaki. He has got a good start to his stay in Odense and he can make a lot of trouble for the home team defense tonight. I must also mention number 15 the striker Giovanbattista Luccarini who return to his native country tonight. He is out of shape like never seen before but Odense coach Serif Bosnjak has told me that he is a top striker and it is only a matter of time and a better form before he will be trouble for all coming Odense opponents”.
Toke Lundager (Studio Pic/left): “Thanks guys. We will return to you in the break. Now let me ask you Kenneth. You know Odense and every Golden League teams very well. What do you think about tonight’s game?”
Kenneth Ebbensgaard (Studio pic/right): Well at this time both teams are weak but they have very talented squads. They have different strategies and formations. In this match i see Odense as the aggressive and attacking team, while Bergamot Seeds will try to strike back with some dangerous counterattacks.It is difficult to predict if we will see a lot of goals or if it will be a close affair maybe with a penalty shootout. We have to wait and see. Kickoff is only minutes away Toke and i am ready to see some action”.
Starting XI BBS (5-3-2):
Gioda – Stancarone, Badocchi, Felici Ridolfi, Carbonaro, Mola – Simion, Dalbon, Cicuta – Boccassi, Ricca
Starting XI MSO (2-5-3):
Dahlberg – Rotoklis, Chrzan – Therkelsen, Józsa, Zaabalawy, Cottaz, Hedegaard – Luccarini, Magnusson, Afaeaki
Alfred Burch (Stadium pic/right): “A bit over 10 minutes played and not much is happening here in sunny Lombardia. The two lineups are as expected. Now we only need some chances. I have a report from Per-Usir in Egypt. A Golden League match is played there and The Warriors of Sahura lead by one over the Champions FC X-Team. Martin ‘Atheling’ Søndrål is their man behind the goal…. Oh no! The Bad Bergamot Seeds has scored. Enrico Mauro Felici Ridolfi passed Dahlberg in the 13th minute”.
Alfred Burch (Stadium pic/right): “Halftime in Per-Usir. The Warriors of Sahura lead 1-0 against FC X-Team. Here at “Where the Wild Roses Grow” it is 1-0 after 25 minutes and Odense still hasn’t created any big chances”.
Alfred Burch (Stadium pic/right): “Oh! in the 32th minute MSO almost made it 1-1. Giovanbattista Luccarini got a golden opportunity but he didn’t succeed because of a good save by Bergamot goalkeeper Giuseppe Gioda”… And the the home team strikes again. The Odense attack is follow by an counterattack and Procopio Ricca makes it 2:0 after 34 minutes. Coach Bosnjak and his team are on their way to get yet another defeat this season”.
Alfred Burch (Stadium pic/right): “GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAL! Odense. The young Dane Ricky Magnusson gets the ball passed Gioda. 2-1 after 37 minutes of play”.
Alfred Burch (Stadium pic/middle): “Halftime and we are now joined by Odense club president Pierpaolo Scavo. Mr Scavo your team is down by one at the break. Can you see your boys bounce back and take the win?”
Pierpaolo Scavo (Stadium pic/right): “We knew it would be a tough challenge for our young squad but i know our coach Serif Bosnjak has worked a lot with the mental part of the game these past few weeks. I think he is doing a good job and as you might have noticed. We have the ball possession and therefor we are still very much a part of this game and we can win it it if we work hard”.
Kasper Ørbæk (Stadium pic/left): “Pierpaolo. Who can turn the game into our favor in the second half? You know your team and what the Golden League can do to the players”.
Pierpaolo Scavo (Stadium pic/right): “Well we have many good players. I can see Ricky score once more tonight. Rotoklis is also playing very well tonight so i can be a match winner too. But then again all the players can and if they help Dahlberg so Bergamot wont score anymore. Then we have an excellent chance”.
Alfred Burch (Stadium pic/middle): “Thanks Mr Scavo. Lets get back to Odense to hear what Kenneth Ebbensgaard has to say about the first half”.
Kenneth Ebbensgaard (Studio pic/right):” Thanks Alfred. Well i am surprise about the both the games we follow tonight. Sahura are now up 2-0 and looks like a surprise winner against the defending champions and Odense is playing well tonight too. I can see to surprise wins coming this evening and it only show that the Golden League is unpredictable and everybody can beat everybody. Hopefully Odense will prove that in the second half”.

Toke Lundager (Studio Pic/left): “We are back in the studio. Odense lost the game 3-1. What do you think of the game Kenneth?”
Kenneth Ebbensgaard (Studio pic/right): “It would have been nice with a win for my old team tonight, but it should be today they turned it around. Odense only has a few wins this season and today we see why. An inexperienced squad and little luck. Then it is tough to get the wins needed. I think we are seeing some improvements in the team though and they are without Glue Glove, Simonsen and Kadar today. Those are the top players and there is a significant margin to the next talents from the top 3. But some did great today even though they lost. Doc played a good match. Ricky did too and then i also have to mention Rotoklis and Chrzan. They will be very interesting to follow in the next couple of seasons”.
Toke Lundager (Studio Pic/left): “Now we are going back live to Italy to get a comment from Odense goal scorer Ricky Magnusson. Ricky you look happy even though your team lost?”.
Ricky Magnusson (Stadium pic): “Well i scored a goal tonight and i am very happy happy to do so. Also i think we are getting better and better, so even though we lost i see no need to be in a bad move. We are a young team and we know we will lose once in a while”.
Toke Lundager (Studio Pic/left): “You only have 3 wins this season Ricky. 2 against Second Foundation and one against Raszków Revival. Don’t you want more?”
Ricky Magnusson (Stadium pic): “There are two teams on the field you know and we can’t decide who win by our self. We will get stronger every week though and Golden League 5 is a 3 season adventure sou don’t count us out yet. We still have our sights on Golden League Masters, but we know we need some look to get there. We will try and be both lucky and good though. Golden League hasn’t seen the best of us yet”.
Toke Lundager (Studio Pic/left): “Well thanks for talking to us Ricky and congrats on a good performance from you tonight. That’s it from us folks! Thanks for following the match. We are out of here…”.
For 8 seasons Mission Superliga Odense has played in the Golden League. They have played 94 Golden League games so far! Match number 95 will be against a team we haven’t played Golden League games against in five season. Next week it will once again be time to go up against Evil Incorporated. In the past both teams has been filled with big stars including some great U20 talent. Today it is two teams with much different squads. Both are filled with young talents now. Last time Evil Inc had players like ‘Tinkerbell’, ‘Superstar’ and Jarosław Chrobotny. Back then Odense could send players like ‘Psycho’, ‘EC10’ and ‘El Matador’ on the field. This time around it will be names like Arron McMullan, Mitch Koula and Ian Faulkner representing the Aussies. While it is likely for Odense to use players like Diaa Zaabalawy, Nestoras Rotoklis and Ricky Magnusson.
