In the run-up to the start of the Eliteserien season, I sent a few questions to promoted side Bodø/Glimt’s front man, Kristian Fardal Opseth. Here’s what he had to say ahead of his side’s first top flight game this weekend.
Which players are you most looking forward to facing this season?
I look forward to meeting Bismar Acosta from Brann. It will be a tough match between us, that’s fun.
Who do you think will challenge Rosenborg for the title?
Nobody. They are well settled.
How far up the table do you think Glimt can finish?
Our ambitions are to end on the upper half of the table. That’s our goal.
Do you feel you have unfinished business in Eliteserien after your time with Sogndal?
Yes, I do. I want to show myself. I have more confidence from Bodø/Glimt, and are allowed to show what I am made off.
Do you play Fantasy Football?
I always start with a team, but then I quit. I am such a bad loser.
Which Glimt players should fantasy managers keep an eye on?
Ulrik Saltnes and Amor Layouni can be a surprise. Also Martin Bjørnbak.
What have you been up to during the off-season? Holiday?
I went to Thailand and to Hamburg. In Hamburg I watched the World Championship in handball. Then I spent Christmas and New Years with my family.
Where’s the place to be on a Friday night in Bodo?
At home on the couch. (He said laughing). I actually don’t know. Maybe Hundholmen? I rarely go out.
