Showed themselves in unusual positions
By Håvard Lindheim, 25 May 2004, 11:45

Harald Brattbakk and Fredrik Winsnes played in unusual positions against Odd Grenland. Both did well, but are we tempted to see it in the future?

Brattbakk, that did not start against Vålerenga on Wednesday, was again playing from start. But the goalgetter was moved from left to right.

Been there, done that
"i used to play right wing a lot earlier, especially in 1997 when Sigurd Rushfeldt was bought from Tromsø. But to put it this way: I am at least as comfortable at the left side," Harald Brattbakk says to rbkweb.com.

You would like to get back the position that Øyvind Storflor "stole" from you before the match?

"We'll see. It did work out well at the right wing as well."

Fredrik Winsnes, for his part, was halfway through the first half moved in to the central midfield position, while Ørjan Berg regained his old role as left running midfielder.

Wanted Ørjan in front of the goal
"We hoped that Ørjan in this way would get more goal attempts, and he did," Ola By Rise smiled in the wardrobe after the game, happy about Berg's first goal for the season.

"In matches where we lead the gameplay, Fredrik is a very good central midfielder. He puts pace, he turns the gameplay well and he is great at both short and long passes," By Rise praises.

These are words Winsnes, that has been a bit in and out this spring, like to hear.

Words of confidence
"Nice to hear. I take this as a declaration of confidence from Ola," Fredrik Winsnes says to rbkweb.com.

The medical student was seen as a replacement for Bent Skammelsrud when he returned from Stockholm after having led Hammarby's midfield during his one year stay. But instead, Ørjan Berg got the "Skammelsrud role" before previous season. Winsnes instead took his usual running midfielder position last year.

"I feel that I am really a left running midfielder. But playing central turned out good as well, even tough it has been a while," Fredrik says.

"However I do not want to be a second choice or a reserve as a central midfielder. If I am going to play in that position, I wish to be the first choice," Fredrik Winsnes ends with determination.
