Iberian Vikings

25/10/2023

Dear team members, supporters, staff, partners and all followers of Iberian Vikings and their crazy adventures,

As some may already know, the future of our team is uncertain. After being relegated this season, some of the founders have been discussing whether the team will be dissolved, reanimated by some fresh blood, or sold to a chinese investor (and consequently move the brand to the asian market). This will be decided in the coming weeks.

Nonetheless, this has been a hell of a ride. Friendships, barbecues, competition, crazy Morten (pittbull), frustration, laughs, red cards, Carlos "Tiki Taka" Coppo, nights out, birthday parties or Ewout shouting "Come on Sento puuuush!" from the sideline and, all in all, the thrill of the game. For many of us, having to play this ridiculous sport on the weekend was a very exciting event to look forward to at the beginning of the week. Its just been fantastic.

With the goal of leaving the mood as high we started, we therefor invite you to be present at what can be, the last Iberian Vikings match in football history. More than a football match, we want to make this a party! There will be beers and some snacks for all attendees.

We will always love you ⚽️✌️❤️

Opening Match in Series 3:
𝗩𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝟲 - 𝗦𝗸𝗷𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝟰

What a rush of blood to the head, from the team, what a non-suitable for those with heart concerns at Grøndhal Multicenter last sunday.

Our team, withstanding an injury-pandemic, had to face Skjold with a minimum quad of 7 players, to which Vasilis, Ashante and Juan Andrés helped out in the last moments. The match started with control from the Vikings, moving with their classical tiki-taka and intense possession in the mid field. Danger occasions were scarce, nonetheless. Then, in a sudden counterattack, Álvaro, recently signed to the team, managed to cross perfectly the ball into the net.

The excitement didn´t last too long as, after a pifia by Sento (the day´s goalkeeper), who cleared the ball outwards too close to a rival striker, the rebound just entering the goal. 1 – 1 and halftime.

Just starting the second half, Skjold were pumped up. Their goal just before half time gave them wings, and they started to see the Vikings as a vulnerable group. In this context, they struck twice in 3 minutes, after a bad clearing in defence and a very arguable penalty. 1 – 3, the Vikings were down, damaged, bleeding out in their own home.

Interesting to see, the visiting crowd starting not only rooting for their team, but booing and making fun of the Vikings. Well, you shouldn´t do that til the final bell, they say, or as we do in Spain: 𝘦𝘭 𝘲𝘶𝘦 𝘳𝘪́𝘦 𝘦𝘭 𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘰, 𝘳𝘪́𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘫𝘰𝘳.

Coppo (playing under strong pain), Ewout, Javi and Álvaro emerged from the team´s ashes. They were smart, played quickly, giving one touch passes and always looking for spaces in the visiting defence. The concert starts: Morten pushes with the ball from down up, to the right, Coppo seeks the area, middle height cross to Javi that smashes the net on one touch. Nice goal from our particular Di María.

Just after the goal, another blow to the goal, 2-4. The Vikings had their mission clear, and the guys were wearing their heavy duty gear today. 𝘉𝘢𝘭𝘰́𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘈́𝘭𝘷𝘢𝘳𝘰, 𝘭𝘢 𝘵𝘰𝘤𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘯 𝘊𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰, 𝘊𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰 𝘥𝘦 𝘯𝘶𝘦𝘷𝘰 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘈́𝘭𝘷𝘢𝘳𝘰 𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘭 𝘨𝘰𝘭 𝘨𝘰𝘭!!! Second of the day from the new boy-wonder, what a debut!

In the next play, it was Coppo´s turn. Álvaro returned the favour and assisted one of the Vikings most loved souls to finish with a magnificent touch. 4 – 4, the guys were in. Skjold were completely numb, almost comatose, not knowing if it was the Hulk, a Harrier jet or the Trans-Siberian at full speed that was bashing them to the ground and keeping them down.

Taking advantage of their play and realizing their competent skills were greater than those of a well-established team in Series 3, the Vikings grew. Garra, pundonor, pride in their game. Ewout joined the goal party after an assist from Coppo (who else). On the final seconds and after a couple of unsuccessful attempts on goal by Skjold, Coppo finished the comeback with a perfect counterattack. Final whistle, 6 – 4, the first 3 points for the season stay at home. The visiting crowd fell silent (𝘫𝘦 𝘫𝘦 𝘫𝘦, 𝘢 𝘤𝘩𝘶𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘢).

IV played with: Sento, Ewout, Morten, Coppo, Álvaro, Javi, Vasilis, Ashante, Juan Andrés

Spring Season 2022 fixtures, Series 3

Go vikings! ⚽️😄🍻

𝗞𝗻𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗿

IV’s first participation in the 𝘊𝘰𝘱𝘢 𝘥𝘦 𝘭𝘢 𝘙𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘢 ended yesterday. After a one-on-one epic battle against HIK, a team that plays in Series 2, our team lost at the penalty shootout.

The match started with a full Viking offensive, especially during the first 15 minutes, with a very active Paul Schatt, Albi and Richi in the middle. Sento´s pressure also wore out the local defense, but his efforts were not fruitful. God, if he scored half of what he generates.

Drama struck in the 17th minute, when in an unfortunate stretch to avoid a low strike, Jorge suffered a shoulder pop up. Acting coach Paul rushed to the local supporters, seeking for a doctor to put it back in pain. Amidst the drama, Asante, the day’s signing, entered as the sub keeper and after some minutes a gynaecologist helped Jorge, fixing his shoulder back in place. His relaxed mood and grins at the side brought some calm to the teammates, who for some minutes were distraught with this unfortunate episode. We wish the best of the recoveries to the best keeper in Nørrebro.

The matched resumed and in the 20th minute, after IV in possession for most of the half, an unsuccessful save ended with a header and local goal from striker Gunnar Benzon. Shortly after, Sento suffered a fibres’ rupture in his right calf. IV were losing 1 – 0 and two men down just before the half time. This was a match for the epic.

Duri got hold of the striker position and after his cross was saved by local keeper (man of the match), the ball ended at Javi’s feet, who just had to push the ball in. Half time settled in after this.
The second half ended like the first one, with another 1 – 1 draw and another goal from Javi, whose dedication and consistency during the trainings proved valuable to the team. And after the departure of individuals like Tomáš or Osto, the team definitely needs more of this character from players like the Salmantino.

So, after a direct match in which Vikings’ dominated an upper-tier team, the outcome of the round was to be decided from the penalty spot. Fortune fell on the side of the local team, more experienced on these battles, as the penalties ended with 4 – 3 for HIK.

Now, the team is to focus on the regular season, polishing their finishing plays and keeping up with their tiki taca style. The 𝘊𝘰𝘱𝘢 𝘥𝘦 𝘭𝘢 𝘙𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘢 will have to wait for next season.

𝗚𝗼 𝗩𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀!

El crack – Superstar
Javi. Great game from his end. With the match blocked in a series of unsuccessful attacks on the rival goal, Javi showed the way of believing with 𝘱𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘳, signing a very promising brace. More of this, please.

El Dandy – The Sweetballer
Alberto. Wonderful to see Alberto back in action. His pace with the ball and vision of the game makes the colchonero a key player, being able to play both as a midfielder or as a winger.

El Duro – Playing hard
Paul S. Besides his marvellous touch and dribbling, proved how he can also play hard, stopping a couple of counter attacks by brutally tackling a couple of the local midfielders, without earning a yellow card. Smart and hard.

Vaya día – What a day!
Sento. Had three clear opportunities with 0 – 0 on the score, but didn’t manage to finalise any of them, at a point in which the game would’ve been way more different. Then, he fell on his own in an unfortunate injury. Not his day.

IV played with: Jorge, Julius, Morten, Duri, Richi, Javi, Paul S, Sento, Alberto, Asante
