🚨 Erling Haaland on the toughest defender he has faced:
🗣️ “Honestly, it’s those two Arsenal F.C. boys, Gabriel and Saliba. But Gabriel? That guy annoys me.
Gabriel doesn’t defend like somebody doing a job. He defends like a man trying to protect ancient secrets. I remember one time I checked my shoulder before receiving the ball and somehow he was already there staring at me aggressively. It’s honestly unsettling.”
“But seriously, he’s top class. Every striker complains about defenders like him because they make your life miserable, but deep down you respect them the most. I would absolutely love to have a player with that mentality in my team. Facing him again at the World Cup will be special.”
🗣️ "I hope he does well unless they play us."

@SoccerforUSPod I went nuts when he said that!!! Jesus Christ 😂😂 We are playing brilliant but let's hope we stop playing well just so our goalie can maybe make a save. Bro. Thank you for tweeting this. Im not sure how it reached my timeline but I'm glad it did. I almost forgot about that.
It's a foul. Simple. That was absurdly intense waiting for that decision. Not sure I've ever yelled at the TV for that long without taking a breathe. My word. COYG!!!
