🚨Carlo Ancelotti on Erling Haaland:
🎙️ Reporter: “People always talk about Erling Haaland’s strength and speed. Is that what makes him so dangerous?”
🗣️ Carlo Ancelotti:
“No. That’s just what people see first.
What makes Erling different is his timing.
He doesn’t waste energy chasing every ball or wrestling defenders for ninety minutes. He studies them. He waits. He understands exactly when a defender loses concentration.
Then, in one second, he’s gone.
You can defend perfectly against him for eighty-nine minutes, but football is decided by moments, and Erling is probably the best in the world at recognising those moments.
That’s why defenders hate playing against him. You think you’ve controlled him all game, and suddenly he’s celebrating another goal.
In love with Haalands goal celebration bc it isn’t even a celebration. He just walks around like he’s the fucking man, because he is. This guy is special
👽🇳🇴 Erling Haaland: “My life is to score. I don't really know what I do, this is just the way I am”.
“It's all about staying focused, and when the chance comes, I know exactly what to do”.
The worst thing about losing to Norway is that they’ll celebrate with the entire stadium with the Viking row chant, you can’t even be distraught in peace because here comes Ragnar and his choir.
🚨🚨 BREAKING: Neymar announces his RETIREMENT FROM INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL. 👋🏼🇧🇷
“I tried. I tried. It started here at Met Life stadium and I finished here. It is now over”, Ney said after the game.
His story with the Brazilian national team is over.
🚨🗣 Erling Haaland can't stop praising Nyland (Norway goalkeeper):
"For me, he's my man of the match even though I scored the goals, He [Nyland] Prevented so many goals that would have probably send us back home"
"He's the reason why we're going to be playing the Quarter final for the first time in our history, much respect to him"
Haaland’s amazing goals aside, his overall play has been fantastic. The duels, hold up play, workrate, you name it, he’s a lot more complete than people think. Pep’s system limits him quite a bit but he’s showing that those pre-City days clearly never left him. Amazing player.
