Christian Grindheim
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christian Grindheim (born July 17, 1983) is a midfielder in the Norwegian football club Vålerenga. His former clubs are Haugesund and Haugar. Grindheim is a young and talented player and has been known for his precise and hard shots, and is playing center midfielder for the Norwegian national team under the current coach Åge Hareide.
Christian Grindheim was a hot name on the pre-season market after his club having fought in the bottom of the Norwegian 1. division. But the young Haugesund captain was believed to have a poor radius of action, and was considered too "light" for clubs that were otherwise interested. However, both Vålerenga and Viking F.K. offered Grindheim a contract. He ended up choosing the Oslo-based Vålerenga.
Under Vålerenga coach Kjetil Rekdal, Grindheim has grown to be a more complete midfielder with greater defensive efforts. He has shown great eye for the game and goalscoring abilities in addition to his everpresent "teamplayer" character. Grindheim is now considered one of Norway's future international stars.
