The surprising first words of the legend of Manchester UtdOle Gunnar solskjaerto Erling Haaland (22) when they both met molda Norwegian club where the striker now started his career City of Manchester. I was 16 years old then.
“The first thing Solskjaer said to me was ‘you have no idea how to head the ball’. We have to work on that. And that’s what we did for two years, my whole time at Molde. And it was a good thing because now I’m scoring goals with the head thanks to that”, he explained to ‘GQ’.
And he went on to explain: “I’m trying to do the same things I did when I was 13 years old in my hometown, I’m still doing the exact same races. If you watch videos of me at 13 years old, you’ll see exactly the same thing. Now I’m trying to be smarter, a little bit sharper to stay ahead of the rival. I’m trying to be a little more awake with my head. If I do, if I get one second ahead and then I can finish and they can’t block me, for example. They think I’m going for one side and I go to the other and then I dial. I’m thinking about things like that all the time.”
