– Oh! That’s a long time ago, Vikings coach Morten Jensen said as VG said his club held the top spot on May 17 for the first time since the 2001 bronze season.

– It’s time for us to go and have a little fun on the May 17 train, he said.

On national football day – May 16th – Jensen saw the SR-Bank Arena full of cheering, singing and making a living through most of the games against Jerv.

15,500 viewers saw it Vikings won 3-0, and Jensen and colleagues. can walk with their heads held high on Constitution Day.

– Fantastic. We look forward to. “At the stadium today, there was great support along the way, and the players will experience the same when we go to Folketoget tomorrow,” said Jensen.

Viking stopper David Brekalo kept the cage clean at the back, and helped by scoring offensively. Now the Slovenian is looking forward to celebrating May 17 for the first time.

– This of course would be fantastic. We can celebrate today and tomorrow,” Brekalo told VG a few minutes after the game.

– But we have to stay calm. We have a cup game on Thursday, and then another game on Sunday, Brekalo quickly followed up.

The Vikings haven’t won Norway’s top division since 1991, but there are now many indications that there is a new champion team in training at Stavanger.

Despite being top of the table, no one in the Vikings camp has yet wanted to hear talk of league gold.

– Absolutely not. We have played eight games. Ask me after 29 games, said Jensen and emphasized:

– It might actually be Lillestrm who is the league leader. They have one game left, so if they win it they will pass us.

– It’s fun to lead the series, at the same time there is little that I think about. We have accumulated a lot of points and only lost one game. We can continue, but we have a lot to work on. We have to be in development, Veton Berisha told VG.

The elite series top scorer has the necessary requirements to speak of gold:

– If we win at the end of the season.
