Interview with Kristin Lie
October 25th, 2010
My personal goal is to play at the World Cup in Germany
First of all thank you for the interview. Please tell us a little bit about yourself and your previous soccer career.
I am 32 years old and playing football in Trondheims-Ørn sins 1999. I have played on Norwegian national team. I have 17 matches on national team. I have wound the Norwegian-cup 3 times before with Trondheims- Ørn.
Tell us about the best moment in your soccer career so far.
That’s difficult, it have to be when we win the Norwegian cup in 2002. We played against Arna Bjørnar Fotball end we wind 4-3 after extra playing time.
Please tell us a little about your club SK Trondheims-Ørn?
We are a small club, who has 3 teams. (A-team, junior team and a second women team) The club was established 17.mai 1917. The club started whit women soccer in 1972. From 1995 to 2003 was Trondheims-Ørn the best team in Norway.
You have won with a 3-1 win over Arna-Bjørnar Fotball into the cup-final. Was your club not expecting that?
We exposed that it would be a tight game, but we have a good filing that we could win the game.
What expect your women’s soccer team in the Cup-final against the titleholder Røa IL Oslo at the Telenor Arena?
We are going for victory in Telenor Arena. When we first are in the finale we will win the fight J
At the Titleholder misses Emilie Haavi the most important player. Could this be the advantage for your club?
Naturally. She is the player how scour the most of the goals for Røa. But they have more goal scorers.
Let us talk about Norwegian league – how is your personal conclusion to expired season in the Toppserien?
It’s a little like I expected, but little disappointed over our standing in the Toppserien. We want to be among the 4 best. We have score to little goals to make that this year. We have played weary well in some games, but haven been so efficient in front of the goal.
What was for you the biggest surprise?
The biggest surprise is that Røa hangs with Stabæk so well. They louse many players before this session.
The coach Gøril Kringen does not set up you in past spring more than spearhead, but in the defence – how do you come with it or do you find favour in your new position?
It was because of a conversation with Eli Landsem (Norwegian National team coach) I want to play defender. She said she wants to use me and I have a better scans to play for the national team if I was a defender.
I have seen you at the Toppserien in Sofiemyr against Kolbotn and really just found your performance excellent. Has Eli Landsem observed you also in some matches?
She has seen me in a few matches but not so many as I have hoped. I know that I am close so I hope I get the chance to play for the national team again.
Now still a last question: Several months ago two clubs from Røa IL Oslo and Kolbotn IL were interested in you but a short while ago your club has extended the contract with you for one year. What are your personal goals for the next season?
My personal goals for the next season are to win a title with Trondheims-Ørn. I have incurred me a injure so I am going to lose the cup-final this year L I see much good in our team, I now we can do it well next year. Of course is it a personal goal to play WC in Germany J
Thank you again. FFN-Team wishes you every success and a speedy recovery!
