Is Haaland settling the debate about his future?: “If I spend another 15 years in England…”

The future of Erling Haaland This is something that worries the big clubs in Europe, but especially the City of Manchesterthat after what was shown in the first season on Premier League He wanted to keep her for more years at all costs.

Related to Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, ​​​​​​the Norwegian striker has so far not commented on his future but it was in an interview with The Telegraph where, jokingly, he could give some important clues.

He did it in the most nonsensical way, asked if he thought he could beat the scoring record of Alan Shearer, after surpassing him as the top scorer in the same season. In a joking tone, Halaand asked: “How long is my contract? Three years and 10 months? There’s still time to do this, right?”. No longer laughing, the end of city He stated that “it’s something you can’t think about. You have to think about the next game, the season, and then those things will come in time. But if I’m going to spend 15 years in England anyway, why not? We will see”.

The question is normal. Whoever hears the name of Haaland He attributes it directly to the goal, but it is something that the footballer himself handles very well. “It’s a positive thing that people are more shocked when I don’t score than when I do.”. Norwegian media headlines when I don’t score: ‘No goals!’ This is a good thing. I’m not complaining, because I also signed for Manchester City to score goals. So it was also something expected,” he said.

As a curiosity, Haalandnicknamed ‘cyborg’, made sure he was more appropriately called ‘zombie’ And the reason is because of the way he plays. “I’m kind of looking around, waiting for the opportunity, and when it comes, I know I have to be ready.” So far, in his favorite competition, the Champions League, Haaland has not scored in five consecutive games and the reason may be “The feeling that they are doing more to stop me, they are playing with me more. It’s a bigger challenge and if they want to do that it means there’s room elsewhere for my colleagues. “I’m just trying to do my job and continue doing the same as last season.”

The Champions League, in your pocket at the first try

Undoubtedly, Haaland’s impact on Manchester City was immediate and it was shown by having the treble in the first season, although the truth is that the most important thing is the Champions League. “I came to win and we achieved it. I think I changed the way Manchester City play a little bit. We have to score goals to win but, in the end, the important thing is to win titles. This gives me more joy,” he explained in Norwegian, downplaying the fact that he was supposed to score.

Haaland’s alarm was the Champions League anthem, which “still inspires me”, and it fulfilled “one of my biggest dreams, which I dreamed of all my life. It came true. It’s an incredible feeling, I felt so happy. It was the best feeling I’ve ever had. It was unreal.”
