Erling Haaland spoke to English TV ahead of the Premier League’s resumption this weekend. Manchester City’s leading rookie in the summer transfer window has shown great appetite ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash with West Ham.
He missed twice against Liverpool during the Community Shield and the first criticism was directed at him. This summer he arrived in Manchester City, and little by little he is discovering the joys of English football. Before the resumption of the English Premier League, the Norwegian revealed his goals during an interview with Sky Sports. The opportunity to set very high standards in terms of development.
“It’s about trying to enjoy the moment. People talk about what I did a year ago, but what matters is the next match, the previous Salzburg and Dortmund launches. […] What can I improve?]Everything. If you think I’m good at something, I can still improve.”
Haaland: I’m hungry for goals
In just 30 matches in 2021-2022, Erling Haaland scored 29 goals and provided 8 assists for Borussia Dortmund. But if injuries slow him down a bit in the Bundesliga, he intends to continue his rise under Pep Guardiola’s orders with Skybklues.
The 22-year-old striker said: “As a young player, I play for Pep Guardiola, I play for the best club in England, I have to keep developing and improving in many things. I love a lot in football, you can always develop, you can always improve the game.”
And about the new number 9 in Manchester City, to add to his desires: “I am a player who is hungry for goals, gives 100% and wants to win every game. These are simple things, but they are also very important.”

Haaland refuses to follow in the footsteps of Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo
With his large size, and the fit of his movement, Erling Haaland has incredible athletic qualities at his young age. Style and subtlety draw comparisons to two of his role models: Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Like the Portuguese and Swedes, The Cyborg has great self-confidence and undeniable charisma. But unlike the two phenomena, the Norwegian (yet) does not want to be considered a superstar.
“I don’t need it,” Erling Haaland replied rudely when comparing him to the CR7 and Ebrasadbra and asked about the need to draw attention to him. […] I like to crack open an Instagram joke here and there, but other than that I like to relax and have fun. I basically enjoy what I do.”
Signed by one of the candidates in the English Premier League and Champions LeagueErling Haaland, perhaps, would have no other choice. If he continues to collect targets, he will be forced to highlight.
