There are five, but Haaland assures that it could be more!

Erling Haaland evaluated his performance against leipzig, that he scored five goals in a very good night for the Norwegian. He put in a ‘hand’, but the City forward himself assured they could be more.

“In the first half I could have scored more. The goalkeeper saved a shot, there was also a rebound on a shot from Gundo (Gündogan) where I could have done a little more if I had jumped a little more. There’s also a cross from Kevin (De Bruyne) that he can take out. Could have scored two more goals. There are possibilities but in the field no one knows what will happen. I think I’m focused on the next game and do a little bit more, stay hungry. Maybe someone will be happy to score five goals, but you have to aim for one more“, he commented in front of the microphones of CBS Sport.

However, the Norwegian said “it’s an incredible feeling” to have scored five goals. “We won 7-0. We sent a kind of message in this tournament, the Champions League, which I really like. This is a kind of message to say that we can dial sevensomething that is not easy to do”.

The City striker has 39 goals in 36 appearances for the English club, an outrageous figure few can match. “I know I have a lot of goals because they (City) scored more than 100 goals last season,” he stressed. “As a goalscorer, when I saw his crosses last year, I saw myself there. I know I can score a lot of goals, a lot of potential in this team. Easy to say, but he could have scored more goals. I lost many opportunities. But the most important thing is to create opportunities,” he said.

Areas to improve

Haaland is already a lethal scorer, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. “I can be better at everything,” he said. “I lost chances with my left foot in the first half. (I can improve) The left foot, the right, my head game, combining… everything. But if I had to choose one thing to improve, maybe it would be help other players become better. That’s something I want to do, put others in a better position,” he explained.

Finally, Haaland commented that City did not sign him to win the Premier, but rather to guide the English to win their first Champions League.

“The team wants to win the Champions League and keep winning trophies. They have won the Premier in four of the last five years, so They didn’t bring me to win the Premier. They already know how to do it. I am here to help the club develop further and try to win the Champions League for the first time.“, he exposed.
