Let's learn about Breidablik.
There is a lot to dislike about UEFA, but the promotion of the Conference League has made it possible to learn and get to know the faceless new European faces. Without the Conference League, Anya Breidablik and Anya Zorya would have finished playing in the European Cups already at the final stage in the European League qualification - that’s how they organize their tournament, which is expected from today Their superniks do not cross. And since you know everything about Zorya, then we will only get to know Breidablik.
Like other Icelandic clubs - Reykjavik, Hafnarfjor?ur, Akranes - they are named after the places they represent, Breydablik, in their opinion, has turned its name into mythology.. This is the name of the castle of Balder - the god of Scandinavian mythology, the son of the supreme god Odin. Based on these words, Breydablik is a place, the stars have driven out evil, everything is miraculous, and this is the name given to the club, “Blikar” – “brilliant”.
It’s ironic that behind such a love for pagan myths, the place of Breidablik stands such a miraculous Christian church of Breidablik – a multi-sports club, which has sections in various sports, right up to chess and tekwondo. The men's basketball team has won the Icelandic championship six times, the women's football team has won the Icelandic championship a total of 16 times, and the men's football team is among the top ten in the country.. The championship of the past fate has become deprived of others in the history of “Bliskuchy”; His trophy museum also has one Cup and a couple of League Cups. Everything was won in the remaining 15 years, and I mean part of the history of the Prov Club in the lower leagues.
However, Breidablik has a brilliant academy, through which a large part of the finest Icelandic football players have passed. Burnley legend Johan Gundmundsson studied with “Blind” from childhood and began his professional career here; Gylfi Sigurdsson and Alfred Finnbogasson spent a lot of time with the youth system; They talk clearly about other teams, US national team leader Aron Johansson lived here in Russia. It’s bad for a town with a population of less than 40 thousand inhabitants! Before we speak, let’s name it for the sake of completeness of the picture of Kopavogur.
The selection allowed Breidablik to win the championship of the past. Forward Isak Thorvaldsson, not being in favor of Norwich, turned to Iceland as a free agent - and with his 14 goals he even helped to achieve the championship. Ale Isak has been in Rosenborg for a long time: the Norwegians paid 300 thousand euros for the new one. Tsikavo, the youth team of Copenhagen paid another 336 for Galdur Gudmundsson, who is not the greatest among the first team of Breidablik. Such demand is also an indicator of the high level of the academy.
Before the speech, Copenhagen and Breidablik met this season on the field, which gave them a practically Hollywood plot.
It’s worth it that Zorya is already the eighth opponent of “Bliskuchy” in this European season (and Ghent will be the ninth). Such an important journey for the team from the very bottom of the European table: they have to start from the weakest mini-tournament. The champions of San Marino, Andorri, Montenegro and Iceland played the Vilit tournament – \u200b\u200band Breidablika was lucky that it took place in Iceland. Victories over Tre Penne and Podgorica led to a victory over Shamrock Rovers in the first stage of the Champions League.
And then there was Copenhagen, where three goals for the Icelanders were won by Orri Oscarsson, a young and promising Icelandic forward. After the match, Orri went to coach Breidablik, and they embraced. Chomu? No, not because Orri also graduated from the Breidablik Academy - having moved to Denmark from the provincial Grotti. And the fact that Breidablik’s coach is Father Orri! Oscar Thorvaldsson discovered Orrry back in Grotti (having played him in the professional competition for the first time in 14 years), then their paths separated - and so dramatically they began again.
Zagalom, Breidablik flights from Copenhagen to LJ, then from Zrinski to LK – and then two victories over the Macedonian Struga brought him to the Conference League group.
Among other things, winning the championship has become a drive for Breidablik to work in the same way as to break the realities of Milan: to strengthen his warehouse with a weak eye for the team’s resources. You will feed, where the teams hesitate, the resource is still modest, lower than that of the Icelandic Negrand? Let's just say it's not far.
Clement Olsen was born near the village of Runavik and may have earned 15 rocks for the same team. In one hour, he became the leading scorer not only of Runavik, but of the entire Faroese league and national team. Olsen won the top scorers six times during the season, but once without becoming a champion: FC Runavik won the unified title in 2007, when Clement was still young.
І axis, like the fate of the past, Breidablik has done with Olsen like Bayern with Kane: luring the expected forward, having achieved ambitious goals. True, the “Brilliant” club was born without buying the Faroese: having found him for rent on the river and recently continued.
I can't name this mega-successful thing. Breakdown and close to winning the title: for the round before the end of the 2023 championship, Vin is ahead of the champion Vikingur by 23 points and at the end of the game with Stjarnan in third place. Olsen scored just six goals for the season, often sitting on the lava - but there’s one big “ale” here..
In the first round of the group stage, LK Clement scored a double, and Tel Aviv Maccabi put ice on their field, losing 3:2. Still, international evidence is a priceless resource, and Olsen doesn’t need a hundred international matches at the warehouse of the national team and clubs.. By the way, I’m not nearly old: I’m over 33 years old. Defense of the Dawn needs to be given special respect to the Faroese.
Cream of Olsen, in “Bliskuchoy” there is only one foreign gravets. Here's another Faroese, Patrick Johannesen, who just doesn't want to go out on the field. Zagalom, for all our respects to Icelandic culture, Zagalom and football aside, to the academy club, to other acceptance speeches, we need to know that Breidablik is a very average team.
A recent championship match, which Breidablik scored five. The Icelanders, as you know, also sometimes broadcast their matches directly on YouTube. What can we say, they are the greatest player, forward Stefan Sigurdarson - in the first 18 matches of the season, he scored 13 goals, despite not being in the starting lineup - having already left for flight.
For all the problems of Ukrainian football, Zorya works – both in and out – in the transfer market with clubs of a completely different scale. Moreover, Breidablik is clearly on the decline: in the remaining six matches there were five defeats, and 16 goals were conceded in them. Maccabi, respecting everything, just relaxed early, and so won 3:0 to the 32nd quarter. Zagalom, Zorya is much stronger, and whatever the result, the two of them prevailed over the Icelanders, but they were unsuccessful.
