Ble was thrown into the Brann eleven – since then the team has not lost a single match
[ad_1]
Eivind Helland (19) is the boy who never loses. Now he can experience something he has never done before.
– Dritgøy. I’ve really just been walking around and smiling all autumn, says Helland to VG.
He is part of a rather extreme statistic. IN The 2–2 match against Sandefjord he got a start in the series for first time this seasonfirst time this seasonHe made his debut from the start of the series in 2023, but had to wait a long time to break into the team this season..
Recently he experienced something as rare as losing it Norway’s U21 team lost big in Finland.
Things are different in Bergen. After a draw in Sandefjord, Brann has won seven straight – all with Helland from the start.
– It says something about the fact that I have joined a good team with good teammates. I don’t think I should take credit for that.
Consequently, there has been more attention for the boy who graduated from high school as recently as this summer. But during Russian time there was little of it.
– It was not a russedress or russebuss, no. I think it was just as good. I’m not so happy about those things, says the defender.
He is basically a centre-back, but has played right-back in the absence of Danish Svenn Crone due to injury.
The young man describes himself as «a fun and relaxed person who likes to play football, be with friends and chill».
Teammate Felix Horn Myhre throws out a message that “this is getting boring” when Helland is to be interviewed by VG.
One who is definitely not boring is this Brann supporter:
The 19-year-old is not the type to toss around with jokes and comments – at least the microphone doesn’t reach you.
– I dreaded going into interviews more than playing football matches. The first few times I was a little shaky. The first time on live TV … It wasn’t quite my thing.
Recently he scored his first goal for Brann:
On the field, he is more comfortable. Even if there is a lot at stake in Bergen, he manages to keep his shoulders down, he says.
– I think all the players think it’s very cool that you’re in Bergen now. I think we get a lot of energy from it.
And now he can experience gold with Brann for the first time. How much does he really remember from the series gold in 2007?
– Nothing. I was two years old then, smiles Helland.
Brann leads the series by two points ahead of Bodø/Glimt with two rounds remaining. On Saturday, they meet Molde in a battle that can thus decide a lot.
Bodø/Glimt also meets table jumbo Odd.
