Some began to wonder if he had lost it (!) But the goal against Nottingham Forest on Sunday sends Haaland back into the headlines.
And with scores comes the mood – and the game.
– What do you guys think of my new style? Should I take it to myself?
That’s what Haaland writes to his 38.6 million followers on Instagram. He has put on a fake mustache and now he is asking for help.
Is this the future? So ponytail and mustache?
Time will tell. But Haaland definitely seems to be back after the injury period. And now he warns:
– I’m ready. I had a little problem and it’s not good when you want to fight back after we went out against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Here is the best women’s team
He continues:
– I’ve been itching to come back. Now I’m back and feeling good. I am ready to attack the last five finals.
Manchester City is in the driver’s seat in the Premier League. Four games remain in the series. City rivals Manchester United await in the FA Cup final on 25 May.
– This is perhaps the most exciting time of the year for a footballer. There is not much that can compare with this. That’s why I play football: The feeling before the game, you’re nervous. It’s fantastic, says Haaland.
The score in the 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest was the 21st in the Premier League this season. He is now one goal ahead of Chelsea’s Cole Palmer.
But the Norwegian says:
– It doesn’t matter who scores the goals. The most important thing is that we win. I came on against Nottingham Forest and tried to decide the game. That’s exactly what I did.
Haaland graces the back pages of English newspapers on Tuesday.
The Daily Mirror reports that he is back and ready to attack.
The Daily Star reports that the City striker will crush Arsenal’s title dreams.
Birthday party with the football wives
The Manchester Evening News reports that Haaland is ready to play “a few more years” under Pep Guardiola. The coach’s contract expires in 2025, and it is an open question what happens next.
The 23-year-old has indicated that he wants to try his hand in several countries. Real Madrid have reportedly stood out as a future candidate.
