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 could go watch him live, to be honest. ican t 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.. he s been described as a 21st century goalscoring machine. he has the last thing that every striker needs - is the finish. he s got that in abundance, he s got the movement - in abundance. erling haaland, who scored five for manchester city last night in their big champions league win over rp leipzig. now, that. pep guardiola says erling haaland is on the ronaldo messi level after the striker scored his 30th premier league goal of the season to help. erling haaland scored hi
i was lucky enough to play with erling before he we heard about this guy. fantastic guy, everyone liked him. he had a bit of pace, i but he was quite thin, and so he would have gottenl knocked around by defenders quite a lot! he was always smart. he knew the right areas to go, he timed his runs. because he didn t 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 technical and the mentality, so the only thing that was missing was a bit of the physics, and we knew, in four, 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, he s going to be i a football player.
they go with erling and they say oh, erling, a small kid from bryne could be the best player in the world? and they have a believing, they re dreaming. it s great to be mayor and watch all the smiles and supporting of erling. my life has changed, of course. i can t live normal so normal any more. that s something ijust have to admit and that s how my life is. i can t complain. i try to enjoy every single moment of it. try to relax when i m home with good people around me. erling won t have a normal life for, like, the next 20 or 30 years. it s impossible. but i think if one person are going to handle that in quite a good way, that will be erling. he s so down to earth and that s what i like most about him. because the success and how big a star he is now, still, when he comes to bryne, it sjust hi, and just a normal guy.
it s 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 i to do with football or knows about football usually knows i where bryne or what bryne is it s where erling s from. it seems like we all have agreed that it s ok to have two favourite teams in england now. i hope tourisme, peoplel will come to eat the local food, see the bryne match, come and visit the place - erling has played. the impact is unbelievable. we ve never seen something like this. everyone s 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, we re jumping up and down when he scores a goal.
the football club. in every home, we arejumping up and down when he scores a goal. bryne is so proud of erling. as mayor and citizens are proud that one local lad can be the greatest football player.
