Kamp: FA-cup kvartfinale vs. West Ham @London St. 5.4.26 kl 17:30 Viaplay

[Asbjørn]

Straks klart for pre game press conference foran kvartfinalen.
Et lag vi fighter mot i nedrykksstriden, men det betyr ingenting nå.
Èn kamp unna Wembley (der semiene skal spilles).

Presseren:
Farke here on team news
Since today, everyone is back. For a handful, it's just been a recovery session. All back in team training tomorrow.A few minor issues - we will take some late decisions. Stach was yesterday struggling with some hip problems. Today he was back in training.Dominic had to end the training session early after feeling his hamstring, missed team training today. He's a doubt.

International players and those who stayed
I felt for them [Wales players], but that's football. Allow them a few days to be down then concentrate on the final few games.We allowed the players who were here two days off then they had an individual programme. If they wanted to see family or have some sun, they were allowed to do this. From the middles of last week, they were all back.

...fyrer på alle sylindre nå, åtte dager fra cupkampen til neste seriekamp:
West Ham test
The PL is our bread and butter and is our priority. But I'm a big believer in cup comps and we're at this stage for first time in more than two decades.Makes no sense to put players in cotton wool. They need to stay in their rhythm, league game eight days later. We want to go with a strong line up. If we feel someone is a risk, we won't risk it. But we want to go with a strong XI apart from this.If there is a chance to go the semis, we would love to do this an we take tis game very seriously. Always trikcy first game after int. break, but same for West Ham.

Vi sliter som regel med kamper i London, og vi sliter ofte etter landslagspauser. Tviler på at minus og minus blir pluss i denne sammenhengen, men er det ikke litt viktig å slå akkurat West Ham? Skulle vi ryke ut kan man jo si at det er greit at West Ham får en ekstra kamp på programmet, men det mentale overtaket som ligger i å ha slått dem borte kan være verdt å ha i banken til sesongen skal avsluttes.
