Erling Haaland was present at a press conference on the eve of the Champions League clash between PSG and Manchester City. Unsurprisingly, he was asked about his XXL extension until 2034 signed a few days ago: “I think when I signed for Man City it felt like home, and I really meant it. I feel at home, I feel so happy, my family does too, and I think in the end this is what I wanted, I’m happy! The feeling, the people I spoke with convinced me that it was the right choice. I’m really looking forward to spending so many more years in Manchester. It’s going to be amazing. I think that’s a very good sign. It’s a bit unusual (to sign until 2034), it’s not normal, and it’s also something I like, but in the end it was good for both parties, it was an easy choice” he said before answering cash about Real Madrid and FC Barcelona: “I’ve just signed a nine-and-a-half year contract at Man City, so what do you want me to say? Of course I’m happy with that [ne pas jouer pour l’une ou l’autre de ces équipes] and that suits me. Yes, as I said, I’m super happy with my choice and I look forward to spending many years in Manchester and that’s it.”
Haaland has no regrets for Real and Barça!
He then explained his good physical form this season, he who is free of his problems: “I take good care of my body! I try to do everything I can to be available for the club and the team! And things are going really well this season in that regard. It’s not easy because there are a lot of matches, but it’s about taking care of the body, preparing in the right way, getting enough and enough sleep, eating the right things and doing the right things. good choices. I started measuring my sleep just to make sure I was actually sleeping well. And it was true! I slept really well! So this is what I did differently this season” he explained before commenting on the current momentum of his team: “I feel a really positive energy at Man City, it’s been a difficult time, everyone knows that. But I feel the energy, we’re training really well, and I think we’re past that now and we’re looking to the future, to tomorrow’s game, and then a lot of other games.”
Finally, he was asked about the heavy marking he receives in matches: “It’s getting more and more difficult. But it’s a positive thing, when the opponents really care about you or put a lot of marking on you, I think it’s the best thing that can happen to you as a footballer, because it means you have done something something good. You have to find a way to win with the team, and for me as a striker, to score goals. It’s about finding ways to create chances, do your best and score” he confided before concluding on the possibility of seeing certain teams playing without a number nine, like Luis Enrique’s PSG and on his reunion with Paris, five after the match against Dortmund: “We can play with or without a center forward number. I hope Pep (Guardiola) wants to play with a number nine! Otherwise. It was a big match for them, but I don’t feel the need for revenge. What happened in the past stays in the past. But I can’t wait to play, it’s going to be a great match. The atmosphere was not the best, it was Covid, there was no one there. This match doesn’t matter to me. I try to look forward and focus on what I can do. In the league, they perform well, but a little less in the Champions League. That doesn’t mean that Paris isn’t impressive, it remains a top team, with a great coach. We have to win, we have no choice.“
