The Danish international, who provided the assist for Lazio's opening goal through Taty Castellanos, was disappointed to see the home side bow out of the tournament after losing on penalties to Kjetil Knutsen's Norwegian outsiders and said that Tottenham could be in for a big surprise if they don't treat Bodo with the respect they deserve after reaching this stage of the tournament.
"I think every team in the world can lose to Bodo/Glimt at their home ground. Now Bodo will face Tottenham, and I think they will also have a very tough time in Norway. I think every team in the world will struggle at Bodo", he said.
The Norwegians will, however, be handicapped going into the semifinal as key profiles Håkon Evjen and Patrick Berg, who missed his attempt in the penalty shootout, will be suspended for the first leg in London as both of them received yellow cards during the match in Rome.
In the UEFA regulations, it states that yellow cards collected throughout the tournament are nullified after the quarter-finals - but NOT yellow cards in the quarter-finals, which triggers the suspension in the semi-finals. And the Norwegians were not aware of that.
"I was told before that match that it didn't matter if I received a yellow card but it obviously did", said Berg after the match. "But it doesn't matter for us, we have a strong squad and players who can fill in", said Berg to NRK.
Also Andreas Helmersen, who came on as a substitute to make it 1-3 but later recieved a red card, will be suspended for the match in London.
Bodo/Glimt will face Tottenham in the first leg of the semifinal in London on 1 May. The return leg will be in Norway on 8 May.
