TRONDHEIM (Ekstra Bladet): the Night of 9. september last year lost Nicklas Bendtner temper in the streets of Copenhagen and ended up in a scuffle with a taxi.
Bendtner was sentenced to serve 50 days in fodlænke. Friday 22. February was the punishment of imprisonment.
– I have really said what needed to be said, and I have no more to add in the case.
– I’ve taken it, I would, as a man, and I now look forward with full focus on Rosenborg and the future. I recovered it, I must, says Nicklas Bendtner after his first workout in 2019.
Rosenborg had moved Monday’s workout from the covered Abrahallen north of Lerkendal to træningsanlægget Salmarbanen right by rosenborg castle’s clubhouse and homeground Lerkendal.
– It was good to get started. I have trained quite a lot in Copenhagen from Monday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 17. Strength, football, balance or level of fitness; depending on what I have felt too.
– It has been a good start. I know what it takes to keep in shape.
In the four degree heat and a cloudy sky was Bendtner donning the tights, mittens and hat for his first Rosenborg training in 2019. Under the hat hidden attacker a secret: A new hairstyle.
A quarter of an hour before your workout threw Lorden his cap and showed his new clipped look forward:
– her Hair started to become far. It was my boyfriend who said that I should get a haircut, so I did.

New coach
Bendtner arrived to træningsanlægget, where he ate lunch with teammates, in a brand-new electric car brand Smart, with 56 horsepower and a top speed of 130 km/h.
When Bendtner came into its synthetic turf at the Lerkendal approximately at the stroke of 10, it was for the first time in 76 days.
– I am looking forward to the season and are excited about how we’re going to see out with the training team and a different kind of football than we have played before.
– The new coaches seem very focused and humble, so I think that it gets really good. If we’re going to play the way they want, so I think that the team will be really good this year.
Before christmas was Eirik Horneland presented as new Rosenborg coach. The first training matches, where Rosenborg has lost two and won one, has shown a Rosenborg team offensively to play more directly in the bagrummet and defense pushing higher and harder to recapture the ball.
– I know very well what the new coach expects of the team and of me as a client. Now it is about to come into the team and get the new style under the nails, so I am fully aware of the mechanisms, when the league starts at the end of march.
While Bendtner serving his sentence at home in Copenhagen, he got a visit from the city of Trondheim.
– Yes, both Horneland and the team he will play for Stig Inge Bjørnebye was there. I think it was fine that they took the time to visit me.
– We had a really nice conversation. We have essentially the same expectations for the new season – both for me individually and for the team.
After the approximately 90-minute-long training, which consisted of games in the foursome, finishing exercises and a training game nine against nine on the course, waited for a big press conference outside the locker room, where Bendtner responded in detail on the most spærgsmål.
Also on the one that went on, whether he had received offers from other clubs in the winter.
– Uh, not what I know of. There is not much to talk about. I have a year again in Rosenborg, and I am very happy for the two years I’ve been here, and the contract just continues on as it should, says Bendtner after a little reflection, and a devious smile.
The new Rosenborg coach would not reveal what he talked with Bendtner on during the ‘secret’ meeting in Copenhagen.
– It was resolved and fixed. It was the thing, as far as the Rosenborg castle and Nicklas. It was a good conversation. It was to get to know him. He has been in a special situation, so we needed to clarify and discuss a number of things, says Eirik Horneland secretively.
In the 2018 season, played Bendtner much on the left wing. Something went violently out of målscoringen. In 2017, he was the top scorer in Eliteserien with 19 goals, while he the year after only netted five times in the league.
– Karly is in my eyes a striker. So we get a striker-duel between Nicklas and Alexander Søderlund. We have a healthy competition in the attacking square, and I think that a club like Rosenborg is dependent on, the coach says.
On the day when There’s sentence ended, they implemented other Rosenborg players one of the season’s toughest training session: The so-called ‘Not-test’, which trænerlegenden Nils Arne Eggen in his time introduced.
Horneland promise that Bendtner does not go beyond the demanding cardio exercise.
– He’s not going to sneak out of it, but he came a little too late to be with to the. But it must he through. He is in good physical shape.
– Now he just to get the football-the intensity up and get the timing in the game.
– So Bendtner will get no special treatment this year?
– No, it is great competition for the seats. It is, as it should be in Rosenborg. It is the totality, which is crucial. Søderlund and Bendtner play striker-the role differently. And it is the, best fit into the team, coming to play.
