The behind-the-scenes moments of the success of the "Bodo/Glimt" club, which is the biggest surprise in Norwegian football in recent years, have been revealed. The reason for the team's incredible performance in the Champions League is not only tactics, but also special psychological preparation.
Idman.Biz reports that the club's head coach took an unusual step after realizing that the team could not cope with pressure in important matches. He invited a former fighter pilot to the coaching staff.
The military pilot implemented a special program for the football players to think correctly in extreme conditions and instill self-confidence. The main idea that the former soldier instilled in the players' minds is that they are capable of defeating any club in the world.
The result is obvious: "Bodo/Glimt", who had never played in the Champions League before, have successively defeated giants such as "Manchester City", "Atletico", "Inter" and "Sporting". Currently, the Norwegian representative is one step away from reaching the 1/4 final stage of the tournament.
