This week, host Richard Graves sits down with one of the most energetic and thought-provoking voices in modern performance: Niklas Virtanen, Head of Sports Science at FC Midtjylland. If you've ever wondered how a club without the financial muscle of Europe's giants consistently outperforms bigger teams, beating Nottingham Forest away, winning at Celtic, and challenging at the top of the Danish Superliga, this conversation tells you exactly how they do it. Niklas is a rare blend of passion, creativity and evidence-based practice. His presentation at a recent Catapult event had the entire room hooked, and this episode delivers the same energy. From dismantling traditional GPS limitations to redefining how football teams train for micro-actions, set pieces, and physical dominance, Niklas pulls back the curtain on the processes driving Midtjylland's success. This episode goes deep into the real-world application of sports science, the balance between data and intuition, and why sometimes the most powerful competitive advantage is simply learning to “solve problems without money.” Things You Will Learn * Why FC Midtjylland's entire model is built on “solving problems without money” and how data gives them a competitive edge. * How Niklas and his team dominate set pieces using Trackman technology and detailed ball-flight analytics. * Why GPS alone is blind to football's most important movements, and how inertial data captures the micro-actions that matter. * How to use accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers to measure real football movement quality. * The truth about injury “prediction,” why we still don't know athletes' limits, and why subjective data is often your most valuable input. * How to balance analytics with player feelings, coaching intuition, and the “eyeball test.” * Why communication, not technology, is the biggest challenge when coaching staffs change. * Practical ways to design training exercises that actually transfer to match actions (including why traditional rondos may be overrated). * How to create buy-in across departments in fast-moving environments with shifting coaching teams. * Why the best decisions come from leading with data first, then layering coaching opinions on top. About Niklas Virtanen Niklas Virtanen is the Head of Sports Science at FC Midtjylland, one of Europe's most forward-thinking football clubs and pioneers in data-driven performance. From Finland's Jyvaskyla to the top of the Danish Superliga, Niklas has carved out a journey defined by curiosity, relentless learning, and a willingness to challenge traditional methods. Starting his career as a physiotherapist, he transitioned into coaching, performance, and ultimately sports science — where he discovered his passion for practical, applied, football-specific methodology. At Midtjylland, Niklas plays a central role in integrating data, performance analytics, inertial technology and coaching processes. His approach blends scientific rigour with real-world applicability, always anchoring decisions in the question: “Does this help the players perform?” He collaborates closely with coaches, mental performance staff, physios, analysts, and leadership teams, shaping a holistic performance culture built around trust, objective data, and constant communication. Niklas is known across the professional football community for his high energy, creativity, authenticity, and his commitment to pushing the boundaries of what sports science can be. You'll often find him speaking to — and learning from — industry leaders such as Chris Barnes and Paul Balsom, who he credits with encouraging him to explore unconventional ideas, test them in the real world, and build evidence from the ground up. He shares many of these insights on LinkedIn, where he's become a respected voice for modern performance practitioners.

Roma er til at tale med for FC Midtjylland, hvad f…. foregik der på Hampton Park?, Danmarks præstationer er under al kritik - vi må kalibrere forventningerne… igen, vi skal nok komme til den slutrunde - måske, flyvende Everton napper en sejr - og en rød mand - på Old Trafford, Nick på de interne slagsmåls Mount Rushmore, Amorim er jo faktisk ikke særlig dygtig, serie-6 bold når det er bedst fra Forest, nyt lavpunkt for Liverpool, flop-floppesen Isak, Trossard er blevet magisk, Eze bliver en af de helt store for Arsenal - saft, kraft og fire-power i skøjten, hvilken dag er din Fisnik-dag?, den enes død - Lennarts brød, AC nægter at spille - går rygterne på, utilfredse brassere i Madrid, Newcastle kan drille alle på den rigtige dag, og Barca-Chelsea er bare en klassiker.

Dagens Hattrick starter med Cristiano Ronaldo, der har fået sin karantæne gjort betinget, så han kan deltage fra start ved sommerens VM, hvilket allerede er blevet heftigt omdiskuteret. Navne som Donald Trump og Gianni Infantino går igen i diskussionerne. Vi skal også en tur til Rom, hvor FC Midtjylland skal forsøge at fortsætte den glimrende form i Europa League, når de gæster Serie A’s førerhold AS Roma. Claus Steinlein drømmer om en Europa League-finale, men inden vi når helt så langt, ringer vil til Bold-journalist Martin Schmidt, der er taget til Rom for at dække kampen. Sidst, men ikke mindst, skal det handle om Kasper Hjulmands Bayer Leverkusen, der tirsdag tog til Etihad Stadium og slog Manchester City.

Vært: Arnela Muminovic Gæster: Luna Gevitz og Kenneth Kretschmer De første 14 kampe er spillet færdig i denne sæsons A-Liga, hvor HB Køge blev udnævnt som de helt store favoritter til det danske mesterskab forud for sæsonen. Det er også dem, der fører ligaen efter de første 14 kampe, men Fortuna Hjørring er ikke langt efter og dermed er der en stadig en åben kamp om mesterskabet, når slutspillet går i gang i det nye år. I bunden blev det OB og FC Midtjylland, der blev sorteper, da begge hold skal ned i kvalifikationsspillet for at forsøge at redde deres A-Liga-status. FCM tog dog konsekvens af den dårlige slutstilling i grundspillet og fyrede både deres cheftræner og sportschef efter sidste runde i grundspillet den seneste weekend. I denne udsendelse analyserer vi alle 8 holds præstationer og ser også lidt frem mod foråret. Derudover kigger vi også tilbage på Jacob Michelsens første kampe som dansk landstræner - og ser frem mod testkampen mod Norge næste uge.

Superligaen var tilbage i weekenden, og det gik ikke stille for sig. Både til derby i Parken, og da FC Midtjylland gæstede Sønderjyske, kom dommerkendelserne i fokus. Vi opsummerer sagerne og kigger på, hvad de kan få af konsekvenser. Det skal også handle om Danmarks seedning til VM-slutrunden, hvis det lykkes at kvalificere sig gennem playoff-runden til marts. UEFA har nemlig sat gang i et lobbyarbejde, der i den grad vil gavne Danmark. Sidst, men ikke mindst, skal det handle om den krise, som Liverpool befinder sig i. Der er købt ind for historisk store summer, men noget er galt i storklubben. Velkommen indenfor til mandagens Hattrick.

Danmarks rigeste mand ejer FC Midtjylland, men det er Herning Kommune, der betaler regningen.Mens klubben tjener millioner på europæisk fodbold til sin hovedrige ejer, pumper kommunen ekstra penge ind i stadionet for at leve op til UEFA's krav. Eksperter kalder det "helt gak-gak", og lokalpolitikere stiller spørgsmålet: Hvorfor skal borgernes skattekroner finansiere en milliardærs forretning, mens kommunen sparer på julekoncerter for børn?

Rune Thyboe Vejersø, Thomas Schouv Jakobsen og Jakob Nørgaard sætter i dette afsnit fokus på, hvad FC Midtjylland egentlig står for - hvad er det i grunden, vi holder med, og hvorfor fortjener FC Midtjylland mere hyldest end alle de andre Superligaklubber?

Victor Froholdt er på ingen tid blevet en stjerne i Portugal, hvor han ikke har haft behov for at tilpasse sig det høje niveau. Bold har talt med Porto-profilen om tilværelsen sydpå. Vi skal også forbi en anden formstærk dansker - August Priske. Angriberen er blevet topscorer i Allsvenskan, og det har fået Djurgården til at forlange et rekordbeløb for Priske. Sidst, men ikke mindst, skal vi forbi FC Midtjylland, der har hentet et af Malmös talenter. Hvem er den 16-årige kantspiller, som FCM har hentet, og hvad siger Malmö til at miste endnu en spiller til en dansk klub?

In this week's Huddle Breakdown Extra Time, Alan and James pick apart Celtic's 3–1 defeat to FC Midtjylland in Denmark, a performance marked by sloppy turnovers, poor structure, and a complete loss of control out of possession. The lads break down the key moments that swung the match, what Midtjylland exploited tactically, where Celtic's press broke down, and which players struggled to cope with the Danish side's physicality and speed. They also discuss O'Neill and Maloney's team selection, late substitutions, and whether Celtic's flaws are systemic or simply down to individual errors on the night. Hosted on Acast.

Tre sejre i tre kampe og en plads øverst i Europa Leagues ligafase. Det går godt for FC Midtjylland, der torsdag møder Kasper Schmeichels Celtic i Europas næstbedste klubturnering. Midtjyderne plejer ellers ikke at overpræstere i Europa, men kan i år være året, hvor de laver det helt store nummer? Brian Riemer har sat navn på de 24 spillere, der skal vinde over Belarus og Skotland for at sikre VM-billetten. Landstræneren trak tirsdag en decideret kanin op fra hatten. Vært: Mikkel Nygard.

The mood turned hostile as Forest conceded two set piece goals, and a third on the break as they were chasing the game - despite Dan Ndoye levelling to make it 1-1, and Chris Wood's late penalty, fans were not happy and not only chanted for the dismissal of Ange Postecoglou but sang the name of his predecessor Nuno Espírito Santo. George and Baz report the following day with some considered thoughts, having slept on it and allowed some dust to settle. They mainly focus on the issues on the pitch, and there will be plenty of debate to follow about the appointment and tenure of the Aussie Head Coach. We'll be back after the Newcastle game, and will engage in the debate during the international break.

Nottingham Forest play their first home game in Europe since 1996 when they take on FC Midtjylland in the Europa League at the City Ground on Thursday night.

Midtjylland come in flying high after a 2-0 victory over Sturm Graz in their opener, boasting a clinical attack led by Franculino Dju's nine goals this season, but Forest's home advantage and Ange's continental pedigree make this a winnable fixture—Wolfie shares his thoughts on how the Reds can finally break their duck and build momentum.

Ange Postecoglou is now five games without a win as Nottingham Forest manager after Saturday's 1-0 defeat at home to Sunderland. After an encouraging performance against Real Betis - and arguably Burnley and even Swansea - was this a massive step backwards or should Forest have won the game?
