Speaking of the super newcomer who may dominate the future of football, I believe that the 21-year-old Norwegian striker Errin Haaland is definitely the nominee in the hearts of many fans, and the media also regards him as a supernova like the 23-year-old King Mbappe, and it is possible to start a new era of double kings in the future.
With his iconic personal looks, domineering style, funny but innocent personality, Erlin Haaland has been following a cult following since his meteoric rise in the first two or three years. Although he has not reached the point of being loved by everyone, his popularity in the hearts of many fans is still very good, and I believe that after moving to Manchester City in the Premier League next season, his attention will be even higher.
Any star has their own anecdotes or anecdotes, and Erlin Haaland is no exception. In this article, I will sort out ten anecdotes about Erlin Haaland for you to talk about more comprehensively for fans who are interested in him for a few days. Of course, due to space limitations, if there is any discussion or supplement, you are welcome to leave a message in the comment area to share.
First, about Erlin Haaland's family and upbringing
Haaland comes from a sports family in Norway, has a handsome older brother and a lovely sister, his mother was a former Norwegian heptathlon champion, and his father Haaland Sr. is a former professional footballer & Norway international, who has played for English clubs such as Nottingham Forest, Leeds United and Manchester City. From 2000 to 2003, the young Haaland lived and spent time at Manchester City, and joining Manchester City is a continuation of the Haaland family and Manchester City.
Incidentally, during his time at Leeds United and Manchester City, the elder Haaland was severely injured in the leg by Manchester United's Roy Keane flying shovel twice, and in 2001, the old Haaland cruciate ligament was torn directly, and then he hung up his boots and retired in 2003. It can be said that many fans are looking forward to Haaland's future performance against Manchester United.
Second, about Haaland's football idol
The vast majority of footballers have many football idols who influence them, and Haaland is no exception. As a new norse kamikaze, his number one football idol is Ibrahimovic, also from Northern Europe. In fact, the two are quite close in physique, and their personalities and style of play are obviously different.
By the way, Haaland's former agent, Rayola, was also Ibrahimovic's former agent, and Ibrahimovic admired the young man. By the way, in addition to the number one idol is Ibrahimovic, Haaland also likes and appreciates Ronaldo. In addition to Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo, Haaland also quite adored and respected his former captain, Reuss.
Third, Haaland resembles buu the demon in Dragon Ball
I believe that when I first saw Haaland, many fans felt that he looked a bit good-looking, but they couldn't remember where he had seen it, until some netizens suggested that he looked like buu in the generation of anime gods in "Dragon Ball". Incidentally, another supernova, Mbappe, is widely believed to look like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Haaland has scored nine goals in a single game in a high-profile youth tournament
Fast forward to the 2019 U20 World Cup, when the 18-year-old Haaland ushered in a supernatural moment of fame in the group event against the Honduran U20, personally scoring nine goals to help the team win the opponent with an exaggerated 12-0 score. What's even more interesting is that in that U20 World Cup, Haaland did not score in the rest of the world, but still won the Golden Boot of that tournament with a nine-goal bravery.
5. Haaland likes to eat Chinese food very much
Haaland, who was a child and adolescence, can be said to be an avid Lover of Chinese Food. Because of this, in the place where Haland lived when he was a child, there was a Chinese restaurant called "Wenhua Lou", and the hostess, The Chinese Wang Huizhu, made dishes that were very appetizing to Haland, thus becoming his resident restaurant, and Chinese food became the taste in his memory and the mainstream choice of the past, and haaland and the hostess also had a good relationship. However, after entering the professional football world, Haaland began to demand himself according to Ronaldo's dietary standards, strictly controlled the intake of salt, oil and sugar, and began to eat less breakfast when he became an adult.
Haaland set the Champions League theme BGM as a wake-up alarm clock
"UEFA Champions League Anthem", also known as "Champions League", mentioned the name of this song, I believe many fans are confused, do not know which one I am talking about. However, as long as you listen to it, especially the chorus part of the climax, hear the female voice chanting and the intersection of strings, everyone who has the habit of watching the Champions League should react at the first time: Oh, that's the one!
In an interview, Haaland once revealed that he had made the climactic chorus of "Champions League" his wake-up alarm clock. It can be seen that Haaland is very enthusiastic about the Champions League champion to chase the ball, so that what wakes Haaland up every day is both an alarm clock and a Champions League dream in his heart.
Seven, about Haaland's iconic celebratory pose
Meditation is Haaland's signature celebratory goal gesture, and for Haaland, the meaning of this celebratory gesture is to relax oneself and enjoy moments of pleasure. Incidentally, before Haaland used this celebratory gesture, in fact, Griezmann and Salah had done it on the field, whether this was a source for Haaland to borrow, I don't know.
Haaland did not choose to represent England
Because of the work relationship of the old Haaland's father, Haaland was born and raised in the UK for a period of time, his English is good, and it is estimated that he is more accustomed to life in the UK after playing in the Premier League. Born in England, he qualified to represent the England national team. However, at the beginning of his football journey, he was determined to play football for Norway.
Harland once drove home his first love girlfriend, who had quietly come from Norway
According to the News as a 2020 newspaper, a Salzburg coach who had worked with Haaland broke the news that Haaland was a football fanatic when his first love girlfriend came to Austria from Norway to visit him, and Haaland told her after meeting her that he was focusing on football and let her go home first.
Later, Haaland's relationship with her first girlfriend did not continue. Recalling that past and first love, Haaland said in a later interview: She complained that I didn't have time to spend with her. One day she asked me if I would choose her or football. To be honest, sometimes I miss her a lot.
Later, Haaland updated his views on love and Q&A in an interview, in which he half-jokingly responded to reporters' questions about his private life, saying that he slept with five footballs every day, and football was his girlfriend.
On the occasion of the farewell to Dortmund, Haaland sent a Rolex water meter to all his teammates
On his last training day before leaving Borussia Dortmund, the righteous Haalander gave parting gifts to his teammates and all the staff members in the team to thank for their care and tolerance.
In terms of gifts, Haaland gave all the first-team teammates and coaching staff a Rolex Water Ghost-level watch. As for the team doctor and the rest of Dort's staff, Haaland also took care of it, giving each person an Omega Speedmaster-level watch.
According to the Dortmund staff, Haaland's arrangement that day can be said to be atmospheric and decent and careful, and the latter directly contracted the customized service. When Haaland entered the training base, there were two luxury cars behind him to enter, which was equipped with a bunch of watches and shopping guides, which was convenient for Haland's Dot partners to try on the day to buy their favorite watches, and then Haland paid for the whole scene, it is reported that it cost more than 600,000 euros.
