Original subtitles

Varg is still struggling to recover their best shape. They're trying to make something happen now.

Austnes and Diarra are going for a fast break!

2 against 1... they gotta score...

No! What did he do?! Diarra was completely free to shoot!

Austnes wanna go by himself!

Adrian, you're done for the day. - I was the best out there.

Hit the showers!

Many wonder if Austnes is gonna play the second half. What do you say?

He didn't act like a team player.

It wasn't working well without him and now you're in troubled waters.

He might have made the difference on the second half...

...but I can't allow such behavior. The whole team would suffer from it.

This is absurd!

We gave her a chance but now it's clear what road we have to take.

You can't be sure to avoid relegation by changing the coach now.

She promised 37 points and she's still on track to keep that promise!

Why should we reward someone for having low ambitions?

The team hasn't been the same since she sold Eivind.

Why she sold him by the way?

The Cup is gone and she can't even manage a 17 year old kid!

That's exactly what she's doing!

How long before she loses control of the rest of the team? Shouldn't we change while we still have time?

If we do it now, we'll have a good reason.

We won't be accused of firing her just because she's a woman.

Isn't that the real reason? - No, Espen... not completely.

If Patrick Halsen had the same numbers, would you be here asking for his head?

Why is she here? - Yes, why?

She can't stay here.

Could you tell them your expectations for the season?

In two weeks we'll be in a safe position.

It's gonna be a tough one against Rosenborg but Glimt is playing LSK so we'll keep them at distance.

But... what are we talking about here?

Perhaps you should go so we can finish with our agenda.

This is about my job, shouldn't I say something?

You made your point. One more loss and then it's all peaches and cream.

That's the attitude I was talking about.

No wonder your players are so unresponsive. You only play for tie games, that's no leadership!

Setting the right expectations is part of my job.

And if you set them low enough, you'll never fail.

Good strategy if you don't wanna win. - It's wins you want on the table?

Of course I do! Varg doesn't play to draw!

Here's what we're gonna do: you postpone your agenda to next week.

If we don't win next game, I'll pack and leave.

But if we win, I get a contract for next year and you'll give me and Espen free hand on every decision.

I think we have a deal.

You win against Rosenborg or you resign and leave Michael to coach the team.

Yes.

Helena!

Helena!

He won't change his mind. You're digging your own grave.

I can take no more of his attitude. - This is not like hitting the crossbar 3 times out of 5!

We can beat them. - Rosenborg?

We almost beat Lerkendal. - They won 2 - 0!

With two shots! And we didn't have Mario yet!

If I can set Adrian straight, we can win this.

Hi.

You should clean this place up.

Why are you here? - I...

I'm curious to hear your plans for the future.

I'm fine where I am. I play for Helena.

I saw the game against Tromsø.

Why did she pull you out?

I was playing selfish, not helping the defense... I guess she was right to take me out.

Of course.

Here she's got a young Del Piero who can win games by himself.

He's the best here but he's got to take a few steps back.

Play for the team. One for all.

It's a good attitude but what's gonna happen when they fire her?

I'm not going with you anyway.

Why did you chip that penalty? - I felt like it.

You wanted my full attention. That's why I'm here.

She made a workhorse out of you in a fight not to descend.

She bets on penalty kicks.

You don't belong here and you know it.

If you wanna play football, let's do it seriously.

Your pace... you and me.

Like we used to.

I'll stay at the hotel for a few days. Think about it.

Del Piero.

Come on Michael, this can't work. You need a shower.

I have no other place to go. Marianne kicked me out.

We're gonna fix that but now I need you to think straight.

Alright? It's our turn, Michael... but I need to know you're on board.

On board with what?

We agreed that if she doesn't beat Rosenborg it's over.

She'll step aside. - Are you serious?

It was actually her idea. - Ok.

She's gone... provided she doesn't win the game.

He's gonna let her go? - Yes, if she doesn't win.

On what excuses?

The Cup, Adrian, depression, Eivind... I'm afraid she...

You've all been quiet lately and the away attendance...

There's many reasons, not all of them sport-related.

Verftet shipyard?

You're one of those risking to lose their job?

We don't know. All we know is...

It's about people's priorities... enthusiasm.

We're gonna need all of you to pull this off. Can you give me that?

THURSDAY - 3 DAYS BEFORE THE ROSENBORG GAME

Ok, guys!

Come here, we got a lot of work to do today.

We have a hard fight ahead of us against Rosenborg.

We're gonna switch to a 5-4-1 formation. Adrian will be on the left wing, ok?

Will you take me out if I try to score?

I'd like to know. - You won't shoot if Mario is alone in front of the goalkeeper.

We're looking to hit them with free kicks, particularly from the corner of the penalty box.

They tackle hard around the area and if we challenge them enough they're gonna give us the free kicks we need.

We must be thorough about that. No one's leaving until we're finished, ok?

Start warming up. Michael... where's Michael?

Is anyone home? - Hi! It's good to see you.

Thanks.

Knock, seven, three, stay. - Draw.

I thought we could have lunch together. - I've only cooked for three.

You can have some of mine.

Listen, Michael... - I don't really have to eat.

If you have a minute I'd like to talk to you.

It's time I come back home. - You think so?

I'm aware of what I did and I don't blame you for kicking me out.

But it's over, I promise.

My knee is finally healed and it looks like I'll become head coach.

We'll finally have the stability to move forward. That's what's been bothering me.

It was like the ground was disappearing from under my feet and I...

...held on to anything to keep my balance.

Now I have a firm basis and I'll be standing there with you.

I miss you.

I miss you too.

I've been missing you for years.

I miss the boy with a shaking voice who said he liked my dress.

When he said that, it felt so true.

I miss the 20-year-old boy who flew back from London and said he couldn't live without me.

That felt real too.

I left everything to be with you and it's never bothered me but...

In the past weeks I was looking at you and wondering when was the last time you were truly here.

Now I'm here for real.

I see you dressed up and hear promises but I don't think you're on firm basis.

If you are, prove it to yourself first.

After that... you can prove it to us too.

Too low. Next Sunday Pedersen's gonna be there and he's six foot five.

He eats those free kicks for breakfast. Again.

Hi.

What have you been doing this late?

Free kicks. - Of course.

This is gonna do you no good. What about your real skills?

She's under a lot of pressure. Have you heard the rumors?

The Board is looking to fire her. - What you mean?

You won't do shit without confidence. - They're firing her?

It's just rumors but... I'd be surprised to see her still here next season.

So... have you thought about your future?

What are you thinking? Vålerenga? Oslo? - Yes. Or...

I also have contacts abroad. Whatever you like.

I got calls from Holland, Bundesliga and Kenneth from Bournemouth.

I don't wanna leave. - No. That's fine.

Vålerenga is gonna give us free rein. - What does that mean?

It means whatever you want it to mean.

I get a contract and you get money to live. You could move in with me.

Or live by yourself if you prefer... wouldn't it be nice living together?

I bet it would be fun. I make a great "chili con carne" you know.

I tried making it myself. - Did you?

I did it for a girl and...

I used habaneros instead of chili. - For fuck's sake!

Who is she? - It's nothing.

Tell me, is she cute? Younger? Older?

I haven't seen her much after that dinner.

When you come to Oslo, I'll teach you. Then we can invite her over for dinner.

What do you say, Adrian? Shall I call them and ask?

FRIDAY - TWO DAYS BEFORE THE ROSENBORG GAME

Good. One more time.

Come on... - You're not focused.

I know it's a pain in the ass but you gotta stay focused.

You're here 'cause I know you can do it. Relax and stay focused.

You know where to put the ball. Put it there, ok?

Good. From the right now.

Ok. How's it done?

Not too high, not too low. Two feet from the penalty spot.

Can you do that every time?

I can find someone else to... - I'll do it.

There's nothing in here. - Sorry, I forgot to go to the store.

Say, mom... how's Adrian doing?

Fine. Why? - I saw him at school, he seemed aloof.

I'm making him work very hard.

How are you? - Fine.

Are you and Adrian... - No.

What about Nils? I haven't seen him for a while.

We've not been in touch lately. - Why not?

I was harsh to him... I think he's got a crush on me.

But he is...

We should do something together. - Yes.

I need to focus on this game first then we'll figure out something.

It'll be fine.

Hello? - Hi.

You know when a magician saws a woman in half there's actually two women in the box?

Is it a joke? - I thought you should know, in case you wanna try it.

Nice tip.

How are you? - I'm good.

Are you busy? - Not right now.

I was wondering if you'd like to...

...if you'd like to do something... I'm so bored.

Yes? But if you're busy we don't have to... - No, we can... do something.

Yes? So...

You wanna come over or maybe do something else?

Yes, or... is your mother home?

Not right now. You're going running?

No, I'm a bit...

No... sorry.

Can't we go see a movie or something like that? - Yes, I'd love to.

Tomorrow at 7 if it's ok. What would you like to see?

Whatever... as long as I go out and do something.

We'll end up making out anyway.

See you tomorrow then. - Ok, Bye.

Hi. Are they ready for tomorrow?

We just have to stick to our plan. We did all we could to be ready.

Sounds good. - Yes, but...

Even if we're perfect, that is Rosenborg... they win these games 7 times out of 10.

It didn't stop Eggen. Milan-Rosenborg, 1996.

A game they would lose 9 times out of 10... but they won.

Yes, but Milan only played the right side that time and Eggen had Brattbakk for counter-attacking.

That's not the only thing about that game.

I watched that game with the whole Under-21 selection.

Rosenborg went to Italy to play against the best team in the world at the time.

We thought they were gonna be respectful, even frightened.

No. No respect and no fear... completely shameless.

I think Eddie was right from the start. - About what?

The problem is not that you're a woman, it's that you're from Trøndelag.

You need to be more from Sunnmøre. We don't respect people from Trøndelag at all.

Hi, Adrian. - Hi.

It's great to finally meet you. - Thanks.

This is Ola, one of the best scouts around.

It's been fun watching you this season. - It's been fun to play.

It's great you could come on such short notice. - We'll see you in action tomorrow.

You're watching the game? - Yes.

We have a draft contract here, the very same terms we agreed on with Erik.

The signing bonus is included in the salary, just some budget trick.

The final amount is what we agreed on. - Signing bonus...?

We'll look into that later.

Three years... - It's a standard contract.

When did we agree on this?

Don't worry about that. Everything must be legal and in the open.

You can't put this much money on me. - Just read it. We'll sign after tomorrow's game.

Yes. Fine.

Adrian!

Adrian! Listen.

Don't be like that. It's just a formality. - You've been planning this all along.

I told you I came to talk about your future. I called a Club first.

It's a standard contract, only with more money because you're worth more.

In Oslo, we'll decide for ourselves. - No, you will!

I had to when you were 15. Now you're 18.

Now I'm only here to help you.

But they wanna see me first. - Ola is a bit old-school. He wants to see you from the stands.

Do what you normally do and it's gonna be fine.

Tell them I'll meet them after tomorrow's game.

Get some sleep now. - Yes.

You got a visitor. - Hi.

Wanna hear a joke?

Two racists and a pickpocket go into a pub in South Africa.

One racist says: "I'm so dehydrated, I shouldn't be drinking alcohol."

"Maybe I'll have a glass of water."

But the bartender wouldn't serve him tap water, so...

...they went to drink elsewhere.

It's not funny. - No.

Tap water in South Africa will give you diarrhea.

Yes, goes against logic.

Did you have visitors?

Someone from Vålerenga came asking about your contract.

Yes.

What's it... - I don't know.

What is it you want? - Play football.

But the last thing I want is also to play football, so...

Can't you bench me tomorrow?

The scout will be there and my dad too. I don't know if I can...

I'll get fired if we don't win.

That's why I've been so...

I can't help you with that.

I'll let you down... - You've never done that.

You're joking again... - No. I've been mad at you but you've never let me down.

I need you on the field. Can you do that for me?

Sorry, I completely... - Never mind.

I came to see if you're ok.

I'm almost done. - Doing what?

Not too high, not too low. Two feet from the penalty spot.

On the other side.

For whom are you doing this?

Mom doesn't want you to push yourself this hard.

You know she'll be fired if we don't win? - What you mean?

If we don't get 3 points, it'll be her last game. Then she'll have to move.

If she moves, you move. So, if you want us to...

If you care about me then you gotta let me do this.

But you don't want us to... - I don't want you to go.

It doesn't feel like it.

I could go to Oslo anyway... I don't know...

You came back and said those things and then you kissed me... why would you if you don't want to...

I have not come to question you anyway.

Can't you just take a break? - I'm not done yet.

SUNDAY - GAME DAY

Today's game is gonna be something.

Hey, have you come to see the game?

You gotta beat those Trøndelag assholes! - Jotun. Language.

Cut me some slacks, I'm babysitting on a game day after all.

Are you playing? - I'll be better in coach mode today.

It's Austnes who's gonna set the pace today. - I hate him anyway.

Bye, dad. - Bye.

Ok, boys.

You know what to do, right?

Be aggressive, win your duels, win every bloody bounce!

We can win this game. You have to know this.

Anything else we should know? - Like what?

There's been some rumors. - What rumors?

About your job.

A few months ago I said I couldn't ask you to play for me, but...

...today I might need a little extra effort from each one of you.

What's wrong with him?

I cannot play... I can't...

You can't play?! - I was out running yesterday...

I thought it would go away but it still hurts.

What you said you were doing? - I was running and...

I must have stepped in a hole. - It's broken.

Tell Fia to get you a cab. Go home.

We stick to the plan.

Lundström, you play left wing. Otto, you take the free kicks. You know the drill, right?

Not too high, not too low, on the far post. But this is...

You'll be fine. - You've been training Adrian for the whole week...

It's not Adrian who has to win this game.

It's you! We are on our home ground!

They came here in Sunnmøre.

Forget where we were born... Molde, Mysen, Oslo...

Today we're all from Sunnmøre and we have no respect for Trøndelag!

Get ready!

No VIP section for us? - We're better off here until we have signed.

A change in the starting formation. No. 17, Austnes, got injured during the warm-up.

No. 11, Wikhaug, will replace him.

Sorry.

What happened?

I broke a toe. - A toe?!

I went running and... - Go to hell.

I move heaven and earth and this is what you come up with?

This was our only chance. I gave them my word!

"He's grown up, he's ready. He'll do great."

And you're out here...

Again!

It was an accident.

You're crying too?

I don't know why I still bother.

Hey.

He did that to himself. - What?

I don't think it was an accident. - No... why?

It's my fault. - Helena...

I told him it was gonna be different.

Let's go.

Let's give them something special today, guys!

It only took them few seconds to score the first goal. It's gonna be a tough 90 minutes for the Sunnmøre boys.

Have you got the papers ready?

Hey... this is not working. - They're just too good for us.

I can hurt them. - I can't put you in, you win if we lose.

My kids are watching me. I would never... not in front of them!

Fuck!

I'm ready.

There's been a substitution. Wikhaug out, Ellingsen in.

Come on, Michael!

Expectations rise in Tangsrud Arena. Michael Ellingsen is finally back.

Fans are very excited and anxious to see what their star is gonna do.

He steals the ball right away!

Passes to Hansen who gives it back.

Ellingsen runs forward, he's gonna look for Diarra... he's brought down!

This calls for a yellow card.

He gained his team a dangerous free kick from the left corner of the penalty area.

Otto Halsen is getting ready. Will they manage to turn this match around?

We can steal a point! - No, we gotta win this!

Otto! Keep your position!

They could be happy with a draw but Mikkelsen is going for the win.

We're in overtime and it's 1-1.

Rosenborg is attacking... great save by Almerud!

Now Varg has another chance. Kilanger plays the ball and passes to Halsen.

They have room here... Diarra gets the ball and passes to Ellingsen...

...goes around the goalkeeper and... he puts it in!

Varg beats Rosenborg 2-1! Michael Ellingsen is the man of the match!

Wait... the side ref raised his flag...

It's a bloody offside! It seemed perfectly fine!

You ok? - I'm fine.

It wasn't offside. - I know.

That wasn't offside. - These things happen. Do what you have to.

# No one messes with our Lady! No one messes with our Lady! #

You're watching this? - They're sentimental... one win and they'll forget about her.

We have an agreement.

Yes... it was nice while it lasted.

I can't...

I can't let this happen. - No... I dug my own grave.

You'll have my resignations tomorrow.

It's not the worst way to leave.

I gotta go home.

Yes, yes...

Hey. - Hey.

Are you ok? - Yes, I'm fine.
