Brann bullish ahead of Everton tie

he Norwegian champions take on David Moyes' men in the first leg of the last-32 tie and director of sports Roald Bruun-Hanssen believes his side have nothing to fear.Everton is not the strongest opposition we could have gotten," he said.Our chance to advance is a good performance at home.If we can come away with a win from the first leg, we can go to Goodison Park and have confidence we could defend our lead."ruun-Hanssen's confidence is not without foundation, with November seeing Brann crowned Norwegian champions for the first time in 44 years.t remains to be seen whether their relative inactivity over the past couple of months - they have not played a competitive game since a UEFA Cup game on December 3 - works for or against them.A month of sunshine training in La Manga and a couple of warm-up friendlies has been the sum total of their preparations.Everton defender Phil Jagielka has warned his team-mtes not to waste a golden opportunity to progress against Brann.e said: "I am aware that their season ended in November and they don't start again until April, but e know they have been away in a warm-weather training camp.For them, that is just like pre-season training so we know they will be ready for us. They may have only played a couple of friendlies, but they will be fit and raring to go.rann only got to this stage b virtue a third-place Group D finish behind Hamburg and Basle, and their one victory over Dinamo Zagreb has been enough for them to claim a tie with the Toffees.
