Austria crushed Norway 5-1 in the last Nations League match. In the absence of Martin Ödegaard, Erling Braut Haaland was the captain of the team and after the game he left with a very unfriendly face. He did not give any interviews, but left it in the hands of his colleagues. Something that greatly angered the media, which denounced him for it.
Yesterday, Wednesday evening, the Manchester City striker held a press conference where he apologized for what he did not do. “I should have talked to you right after the game. It’s a choice I made. Next time I’ll talk,” he says. But he added: “The world doesn’t end because of that, there are more important things in life.”
Haaland criticized himself for his role against the Austrians: “I wasn’t good. I should have done better. I should have scored a goal in the first half and I should have done things better in the second . I’m not a perfect football player, but you’re not perfect journalists either,” he hinted in a condescending tone but somehow justified their awkward encounter.
