OB is in fourth place in the premier League after 23 rounds, but along the way in round 23 were the inhabitants of funen as low as number 10. Now consumed tenth of the AGF, during the round 23 was a virtual number three.
It says everything about how insanely close premier League with three rounds left of the base game and the eight teams that are courting a place in the top six by the fact that only four of them are doing skærerne.
OB is before Sunday’s showdown against Brøndby snug in the bend, but much can be achieve to go wrong, so the question is whether the nerves are frayed on the island of Fyn?
– It’s fun and exciting to be a part of. The post changes all the time, and there is drama on the drama in each and every round. It helps to sharpen us all together, and it is really good for the product. The league is divided up into three with guldkampen between FCK and FCM, bundkampen and then the eight teams fighting for the top six, and I think it is fat. As a coach is you have to keep the focus on the next task all the time, for the post you can’t use to much as it is changing, says head coach Jacob Michelsen for advice.dk.
OB have so long sighed for a place in the top six and thus a formal comeback to the top of Danish football, and they are maria every single time. OB’s latest six-location dates back to the sølvmedaljerne in the 2010/2011 season.

So it would hardly be wrong to say that a top six ranking in high degree will have great symbolic significance for the OB.
– I think, I feel the right hunger after to get in the top six, and it is clear that once one has had it as a goal in eight years, and now is your chance here in the eighth year, so it has of course enormous importance. There waiting for us three fun matches against direct competitors, and if we are to see the positive, then we have the in own leaning. The same can then also say about seven other teams.
– that’s going to be insanely much before the fat lady has sung, says the cheftræneren.
Note slutprogram is called Brøndby IF, AGF and Randers FC, and the first task is therefore against the blue-and-yellow on Sunday in Odense. Earlier in the season, they played two teams 1-1 at Brøndby Stadium, and only a point separates them in the table.
– There is only fun matches in the calendar at the moment, and it is of course also the Brøndby. We know that they come with many fans, and I could sense that the whole thing quivers. It is two teams that have just come in the semi-final in the cup and thus has plenty of confidence. I think it was close, and the small margins will be decisive, says Jakob Michelsen.
He could see a small difference at Brøndby IF, under Martin Retov contra Alexander Zorniger.
– There are some small shades of difference, but the formation and players are the same. I think it seems as if there has been released some energy, but they have also won two games in a row, and it provides at least energy, so if it is only due to Martin Retov, I do not know, says OB-the coach and finds that he is a big supporter of Alexander Zorniger, who was fired in denmark for soon two weeks ago:
– I would like to congratulate the Zorniger whole game. He has been fantastic for Danish football, and I think he can describe himself as a big success in denmark. He led them back into the top of the League, and he managed to excite with its approach. I also think he has helped to open the eyes of the rest of us in the sense that there are other ways to do things.
kickoff between OB and Brøndby IF on Sunday at 18: 00.
