Kjetil Knutsen does not fall into the trap over the Bastoni case. “We have already played against Italian teams, certain situations are part of soccer. I don’t think that’s what we need to focus on” said the coach of Bodo Glimt, Inter’s next opponent in the Champions League.

“Rather we can discuss the use of VAR. VAR should be used precisely to solve such situations. Dirty tricks can pay, and so it should not be in football” he added.

“We have faced some Italian teams in the past. In Europe a certain cynicism is part of the game, perhaps especially in knockout challenges. In those matches you can clearly see that they raise the level and use all possible means, both lawful and a little less lawful. Instead, we have to be ready for that” remarked defender Jostein Gundersen.
