Its surreal that one of the most famous footballers in the world has come out of this little place. A child like erling, i spotted from the first kick on the ball, in fact. Every time erling changes club, this town changes colour. Fantastic guy. Everyone liked him. He knew, and we knew, that he had a lot more i in store for the future. When i was young, i wanted to become the best in the world. Dreams do come true. My name is andreas vollsund. Im mayor of time kommune. Bryne is the big city in this community. Bryne is a small place, but a warm place. A place where everyone knows each other. To people in bryne, in time kommune and jaeren as we call it here its, yeah, friendly people, but working, hard working people. Bryne is the biggest place in an area called jaeren, which is a very agriculture heavy place. Theres a lot of farms. Right outside of the city, you can see green grass everywhere. So im very proud that we have so many good, hardworking farmers. We can get the best food on the table and be as strong as erling only 12,000 lives here. People are quite friendly, but quiet. We wont use ten words if one word is sufficient, or even a meaningful pause. You can see that in erling. Hes. He doesnt speak long sentences, and thats normal here. Growing up in bryne, its very much about football. Thats basically been the one thing that this town is all about. The Football Team bryne were in the top division for a very long time. They finished second twice in the eighties. They won the cup in 1987. Its always been a place that people around norway will have known about. This area is actually the place i in norway with the least snow, so the best teams in the country used to come here in march to play on grass. This was before we got i artificial grass, of course. Erling was born in leeds, come with his family to bryne in 200a. Started to play in a team when he was five or six years old. He was very small, but when he was about 12 13, he grow very fast. The thing about Erling Haaland is, i think you have to start with the parents, with the genetics. Because we talk about his father a lot, of course, alfie haaland, but we dont talk enough about Erling Haalands mother, who was at youth level, at one point, a National Champion at heptathlon. His grandmothers brother on the mothers side is gabriel hoyland, who is the record Appearance Holder of bryne Football Club. So he was born into a real sporting family, with just incredible pedigree on all sides. Hes a really important guy. Guy in my life. Hes my father, and hes also a really good friend of me. Wejoke a lot. We have a lot of fun. And ive got a Good Relationship with him, and hes supporting me a lot, and a really important guy in my life. My name is alf ingve berntsen. Ive been Coaching Football for many, many years. And some of the years, i was coaching erling, and i think thats why youre here. The first time i coached erling, he was just eight years old. He began to train together with one year older boys, in a big group of a0 players. A child like erling, when theyre that quality, you spot it from the first kick on the ball, in fact. Even at a very young age, erling had a very good, very High Standard of coaching which is a little bit unusual because in norway, at that young an age, very often, the coaching will be done almost by parents on a volunteer basis. Erling happened to be part of a year who had a very qualified coach looking after them. For us, it was all about to develop the human being first and, after that, the football thing. We had three rules be on time, do your best and behave. In a small place like bryne, the role of the Football Club is to keep people active, to be a social place for the kids. Its not necessarily like a meat grinder to get the most talented footballer out there. So the emphasis is on things like how to behave and be a good teammate. This is the challenge of a club like bryne, is that its a very small place. So the Football Club isntjust for the kids who are enormously talented and are going somewhere, its also just for the kids who want to stay active. The challenge for the coaches is always, how can you include everyone, whilst also challenging The Very Best and not separate them from their mates . Erling was gentle, nice, funny. He always scored a lot. He smiled a lot. He trained a lot. But he was one of the 40, so he was treated the same way as the other a0. He and his friends played i three, four, five hours every saturday, every sunday. They get a lot of time playing. They kept the tempo high. It was important for them to win. So even though they werent thinking that this is training, i think it was probably the best training they could get. I played at bryne since 2014. I was lucky enough to play with erling before he went off. Fantastic guy. Everyone liked him. He had a bit of pace, but he was quite thin, so he will have gotten knocked around by defenders quite a lot. He was always smart. He knew the right areas to go. He timed his runs. Because he didnt have his strength, he managed still to compete and succeed because of his smartness to his play. He could read where to go. He had technique, the tactical and the mentality. So the only thing that was missing was a bit of the physics. And we knew in four or five years, this will explode. You saw the potential of the guy. I was teacher to erling. He was a lovely, funny guy. And he told me, oh, no, school is not so important. No, no, hes going to be a football player. Hes not shy in the locker room. He cracksjokes. He puts himself out there, basically. Youve probably seen that song, | or rap video of him on youtube. J there was a lot of commotions and jokes about that. He raps for me, its about having fun, because if im having fun, i want to do more of it. Exactly how it was with football. When i went to play with my friends, it was really fun. I wanted to do it again. And then when it became a natural thing and i wanted to train more, i wanted to become better, i wanted to become better than others. So for me, its about really having fun. Obviously, i knew about him. His dad was pretty well known, so i knew about the player. I remember him steppingl into practice with us in 15. He. He wasnt shy. I remember him coming in there almost like he was the captain of the team sometimes. And he was like, how are you doing . You were not used to that when 15 years old, came in there. They were shy, but he was not like that. Ive never seen it before, never seen it after. So maybe next time, im going to write on the contract if i see someone with the same mentality it wasnt as if he was hitting the top corner all the time in training. In one of his first Training Sessions with the senior team, he missed the big chance and got a telling off from one of the big boys. And youre then expecting him to maybe be a little bit, maybe a bit shaken by that, be a little bit timid, maybe play a little bit within himself for at least a couple of minutes afterwards. But the next time he got the ball, he tried to dribble past one of the best defenders on the team, and he was just completely not bothered by any of that. And that stood out at the time as a sign that maybe there is Something Different about this guy. He had the grit, something special. You could see it in your eyes. When we lost, you could see immediately on erlings face and all the players, and i think that was a good thing. I dont want them to smile if they lose, but they have to behave, respectful opponent, and try even harder the next time not to lose. Erling was confident from a young age when in the classroom, yes. And you can see him now, his confidence on the football pitch. You know then hes going to be a football player, and now, erling is the best in the world. I think his mindset is brilliant. I try to never overthink. For me, its about kind of taking the confidence from the last game. No matter how it went, if you didnt score, you take this confidence with you that, ok, i didnt score the last game. Its more likely im going to score the next game. When you think too much, its not a good thing. Ijust try to go in the game and try to make the team as good as possible. And if the team plays good, as a striker, i will get chances. And then when i get chances, normally, i score. To me, its not about him being strong and fast, but that his thinking is so quickly. Hes so smart off the ball. A lot of that will have been learnt when he was young. Because he had to learn how to find space, he had to learn how to get on the wrong side of defenders and this sort of stuff. I love to see it when he understands where the ball is falling down and the defenders around him are just confused. Thats the best part. Erling was a natural attacker. He always looked for goals. He scored lots of goals when he was 15, 16 years old. Hes quite the same playing style now than when he was 12 or 13 years old. We have seen many of the situations before. So he has always scored goals. Each level, he had just continuous goals. For someone whosejob it is to score goals, he is a surprisingly selfless player. He actually has a reasonable number of assists, even though he is a penalty box predator, really. But he will look up and find a teammate, if the pass is on. On the field, he definitely. He showed respect, but he didnt show respect, you know . He played his way, he wanted to play to his strengths, and it didnt matter if it was a 34 year old or an 18 year old that was against him. His hungerfor more, more, more. When he scored five goals in the champions league, he was not happy. He was. He was mad. He was going for six, seven, eight. Thats crazy. Everyone else would have gone off this pitch and just say. Happy and remember it for the rest of his life, but he was mad. Thats him. He seemed very driven. He knew that he wanted to. This was just a pit stop for him. He had a lot of respectl for the club, obviously, but he knew that he wanted to go further. He knew, and we knew, that he had a lot more i in store for the future. Im a simple guy. When i do something and i like it, i want to do it more. I would love to win more trophies because of the feeling, and exactly the same with goals. Exactly the same with winning games, you know . Because just the feeling is so nice. So for me, its a natural thing. When we first saw how good hes going to be, our best player at the moment, erling just passed him and, like, pushed him. I think still, hes somewhere and he was scoring the goal, and everyone just said, ok, wow, now we see how this guy is going. Two days later, he signed for molde. It was very exciting when he went to molde as a 16 year old guy. I alfie and erling himself, they got a very good feeling for molde. Molde, at the time, were coached by ole gunnar solskjaer. And molde are a club that have a very good track record of producing players. And of course, this is the time where his body really starts filling out. I believe the players nicknamed him the manchild because he still has quite a young boys face, but hes starting to get the body ofjust an absolute unit. It was the summer of 2018 where he really caught the eye, because they were playing away to brann, in bergen, and Erling Haaland then 17 years of age scored four goals in 21 minutes. Four goals against the brann. Four goals against brann. He went pro to salzburg, immediately. Its a dream. Its. Im living. Im living the dream. Erling has had such a great season. We had a joke in a Press Conference that every day, there was a new team that was interested. At this point, everyone� s interested, but they decide to go to dortmund. Why . Well, in large part, because dortmund has no striker, so theres an obvious place for him in the first team. Erling, hes told me that school is not important. Hes going to be a football player, a star. Itold him, ok, if youre going to be an International Football player, you must buy me some tickets. And when he played in dortmund, he sent me some tickets, and i was down in dortmund and i see the match. So erling, hes a man of his word. The big viking, as i call him. The biggest secret in football has been finally confirmed. L haaland is now an official Manchester City player. I he joins the club for {51. 2 million. Im absolutely buzzing honestly, i cant wait. Hes scored goals in bucketfuls everywhere hes been, and its really hard to see that not happening at city. With me as a striker, i want to have fun. When i have fun, i score goals. I smile, i enjoy playing football and everything. So in the end, ijust hope to smile a lot. First day. Good to see you guys. You know, i might have to cancel a few of my broadcasting days just so i can go and watch him live, to be honest, i cant wait. Erling haaland scored twice on his Premier League debut, as Manchester City began. Haaland became the first ever player to score hat tricks in three Successive Premier League matches at home. Hes been described as a 21st century goalscoring machine. He has the last thing that every striker needs, is the finish. Hes got that in abundance. Hes got the movement in abundance. Erling haaland, who scored five for Manchester City last night in their Big Champions League win over rb leipzig. Now, that. Pep guardiola says Erling Haaland is on the ronaldo and messi level, after the striker scored his 30th Premier League goal of the season. Erling haaland scored his 50th goal of this season in all competitions. All Erling Haaland scored his 35th Premier League goal of the season, setting a new record. So elsewhere, Erling Haalands been named the Football Writers Association player of the year. Its erling here. I just want to say thank you for the support. Lets go Manchester City win the champions league, becoming only the second team in english football history to complete the treble of major trophies in a single season. Fans sing t0 tune of no limit by 2 unlimited Erland Haaland come on bryne is turned completely on the head. If you walk around here looking at the paintings, the statues, every time erling changes club, this town changes colour. Its surreal that one of the most famous footballers in the world has come out of this little place i think bryne is most known in norway and now all over the world for football. He put bryne on the map. Everyone that has anything to do with football, or knows about football, usually knows where bryne, or what bryne is. Its where erlings from. It seems like we all have agreed that its ok to have two favourite teams in england now. I hope Tourism People will come to eat the local food, see the bryne match, come and visit the place where erling has played. The impact is unbelievable. Weve never seen Something Like this. Everyones interested in football. Everyone loves erling. You can see it in the street. There are more tourists. Coming in, more interest around the Football Club. In every home, were jumping up and down when he scores a goal. Bryne is so proud of erling. As mayor and citizens, we are proud that one local lad can be the greatest football player. He has inspired young players, of course, all over norway. They go with erling and they say, oh, erling, a small kid from bryne can be the best player in the world, and they have believing, they� re dreaming. Its great to be mayor and watch all the smiles and supporting of erling. My life has changed, of course. I cant live normal, so normal anymore. Thats something ijust have to admit, and thats how my life is. I cant complain. I try to enjoy every single moment of it. I try to relax when im home, with good people around me. Erling wont have a normal life for, like, the next 20 or 30 years. Its impossible. But i think if one person is going to handle that in quite a good way, that will be erling. Hes so down to earth, and thats what i like the most about him. Because the success and how big a star he is now, and still, when he comes to bryne, itsjust hi, just a normal guy. He does seem to have this ability to shut out a lot of the noise. He does seem to have a very solid grounding. And i also think some of that, it comes from your surroundings when you grow up. People rarely get overexcited about anything in bryne. Its very sort of a farmers mentality. You know, if things are good today, you should still be vigilant. Things might be bad tomorrow. And i think thats something you see in Erling Haaland. What hes done on the football pitch, thats lovely, but when hes speaking in front of the camera, hes always speaking about hes just a local boy from bryne. Hes proud where he comes from. The feet is on the ground. So im very proud for the whole person erling, notjust what he do on the football pitch. I try to smile as much as i can because its a good thing to have fun and to smile. And im an emotional guy. And i love to have the people that i love around me, to enjoy the moments with me and to help make me a better person and a player. The future for erling, i think is focused that he will continue to love football, to train well. And we can see now, which we didnt see before, that some people are great until their late 305. So thats what we hope for when it comes to erling. Ive been developing in a really positive way and thats really important for me because im still really young, im still 22, and ive got a long career ahead of me, and i still have to develop. And thats also something i was thinking of over one year ago, when i was thinking about my next move, you know, about how i can develop even more and become an even better player. I think hes going to win ballon dor. Many ballon dors. Hes already breaking the Premier League record. Thats crazy. The skys the limit. I dont have words for what hes doing right now. The most important thing would be that he scores a lot of goals on the National Side and gives us a good european championship, or even world championship. That would be the best part. His career hasjust gone in a Straight Line up, like, its amazing. And its all deserved, because hesjust kept performing and doing what he needs to do. Everything that erling is experiencing now l and will experience i think is 100 deserved and, as i said, we are so happy for him. I hope to see erling back in a bryne shirt, but i dont think its in my time, maybe. He was a special boy, but to be the best player in the world, and i kind of think thats going to be a reality. But he has a dream and hes working hard every day. So, now im just proud to see what he does on the pitch every week. I will never be proud of achievements from a footballer or erling because i dont see it in that way, but im very proud of how he behaves, he represents our region and our town in a very good way, and that will make me proud. Not if he is first or runner up in the league. Its about staying humble, about being confident that youre going to achieve something, that youre going to perform, but still do the hard work, never relax throughout the whole season. Its a long season. Thats why i have to stay sharp here, and its not easy. But you have to stay sharp here, stay humble, work hard. Thats the most important things. Hello. Once again, its a rather unsettled looking Weather Picture for sunday. With low pressure so close by, there will be quite a number of showers around. Some places will escape, but its difficult to say exactly where. The winds are a notch down compared with yesterday, but theres still a breeze out there. You can see those tightly packed isobars and weve got another area of rain moving in later this evening and overnight. Closest to that low pressure across the north and west, so scotland and northern ireland, we will see the most frequent showers. Some heavy, with rumbles of thunder. Weve had a few sharp showers through the morning hours, perhaps fewer across wales and the south west this afternoon, but equally, one or two sharp ones could develop just about anywhere. Temperatures are similar to those of saturday, so feeling pleasant enough in the sunshine. But it is all change, then, as we go through this evening and overnight. The showers give way to longer spells of rain for much of england and wales. Some quite heavy rain for wales and northern england, as you can see. So with the high moisture content, the humidity is higher. A warm night. A scattering of showers continues because weve got low pressure across scotland and northern ireland, but a little bit chillier here, or fresher, as we start monday. For monday, some good spells of sunshine across scotland and across northern ireland, but that rain fringes close by to the borders. It takes its time to clear out of the way. We may well brighten, with a few showers rolling in across wales and the west of england later, but its uncertain how quickly that rain will clear from eastern areas and, actually, It Mightjust Brighten up in some places and so still 2a degrees. But on the whole, a lot of cloud and rain on monday. That low pressure clears away into tuesday, although that low pressure is still close enough to our shores to give us a few slow moving showers. So the winds ease off considerably on tuesday, so when the showers come along, heavy and thundery, but slow moving, so lasting quite some time. Some places will escape altogether and stay dry, but again, the devils in the detail when it comes to showers as to exactly where, but there will be some lengthy spells of sunshine around. Certainly so on wednesday and thursday because this High Pressure starts to build in. With it, it will draw in some southerly winds, so we start to see the temperatures lifting once again. But low pressure is never too far away, so although our temperatures are lifting late week, we still run the risk of that next area of low pressure coming back in, bringing with it a spell of showers once again. Live from london. This is bbc news. 93 People Killed by wildfires in hawaii as officials warn of a significant� rise in the death toll.
