Latifu told vgtv.no: ''I feel so happy now, I can just start saying everything. I am just waiting to see my family so I can show them how happy I am. I have been thinking about this cup final. Two years ago, I was in the in the cup final team for Strømsgodset against Follo, but did not play, I was watching. I saw everything that happened in 2010, and today I told myself I want to be part of the victory.''
The right wing - back played through the pain barrier against Tromso after he was harshly tackled by Norwegian midfielder Thomas Kind Bendiksen.
''He hit me from behind. I was shocked, did not believe because the ball had gone out of play. I have to take it as one of those things in the game. I felt the pain, later, I urged myself to continue,'' Latifu said.
