Haaland is tired of vegetarianism
To prepare for the return of the Premier League, Sky Sports made a short advertisement with the appearance of Haaland. In particular, the 21-year-old striker expressed his boredom when club tournaments stopped to make room for the World Cup in Qatar.
The video captures the lonely Haaland wandering around the empty training ground of Man City, when many teammates are playing in the Middle East. He kills time driving a lawn mower and even wears a shirt that says "Kevin 17" on the back for the dummy to practice.
When trying to find some others, Haaland ran into a room filled with laughter, but only saw two commentators Micah Richards and Roy Keane on television. The Norwegian striker also called Jack Grealish but only heard a waiting message: "Okay, this is Grealish, leave a message".
Haaland also talked about what he did during the 2022 World Cup. "I train hard when my teammates are away. But sometimes, everything is boring," said the 22-year-old striker. "Time is moving fast, and I miss the jokes with my teammates. It's also strange to celebrate goals alone. Anyway, I hope my teammates do well, and I can't wait to see you soon. surname".
Since joining Man City for a fee of $ 63 million, Haaland has flourished with 23 goals in 16 matches, including 18 in the Premier League and five in the Champions League, and broke a series of records in these two tournaments. However, he was not allowed to participate in the 2022 World Cup, because the Norwegian team only finished the qualifying round in third place in Group G, and could not even win a play-off ticket.
The Man City players who did not attend the 2022 World Cup, including Haaland and Riyad Mahrez, were given a two-week break and have been together since early December. The players who were eliminated early from the group stage of the 2022 World Cup, including Kevin De Bruyne or Ilkay Gundogan, also returning soon.
These players participated in the friendly match against Girona, the club ranked 13th in La Liga, on the academy field on December 17. Man City finished less than the opponent (6 vs 14), but won 2-0 thanks to Haaland and De Bruyne.
Man City will return with a match against Liverpool in the 1/8 round of the English League Cup at Etihad Stadium on the evening of December 22. Then, in the last two matches of 2022, Haaland and his teammates met Leeds on December 28 and Everton on December 31 in the English Premier League.
Man City only contributed one player in the Argentina squad to win the 2022 World Cup, Julian Alvarez. The 22-year-old striker took the starting place of Lautaro Martinez and scored four goals, including a brace in the semi-final victory over Croatia 3-0. With 22 years and 316 days, Alvarez became the youngest player to score a brace in a World Cup semi-final, since "Football King" Pele scored a hat-trick in 1958 (17 years 244 days).
But at Man City, Alvarez only played a supporting role for Haaland, scoring 7 goals in 20 matches in all competitions since the beginning of the season, including three in the Premier League, two in the Champions League, one in the English Super Cup and one in the League Cup. British team.
