Football: Erling Haaland hid that he was going to become a father

Erling Haaland is over the moon. Everything is smiling for the Norwegian this fall, both professionally and in his private life. The 24-year-old striker, top scorer in the history of his selection since Thursday, will be a father for the first time. “We just found out, he didn’t tell us,” admitted his teammate Morten Thorsby to the Norwegian press after the Scandinavian success against Slovenia (3-0). “Erling is good at keeping such things hidden. It’s fantastic, I’m very happy for him. And becoming a father is probably even bigger than being the top scorer in the country’s history,” added the Genoa CFC player.

To take the lead in Group 3 of League B, Norway outclassed Jan Oblak’s teammates, who still made 10 saves. To celebrate this demonstration, Haaland put the ball under his t-shirt at the level of his stomach, then sucked his thumb. He later posted a photo of himself with a “baby” emoji on social media, along with a “soon” emoji. “We discovered the good news thanks to this publication,” explains Thorsby.

Erling Haaland is in a relationship with Isabel Haugseng Johansen, a 20-year-old Norwegian. But the two lovers remain very discreet about their private lives. Rare are the times they have been seen together in public spaces. However, it appears that they met at the academy of Norwegian club Bryne FK and began their relationship while the gem was scoring goals with Borussia Dortmund. Asked about the happy event by the Norwegian press outside the stadium, Isabell Haugseng Johansen simply replied “He did that?”, before adding that he will be a “very good” father.

Since the start of the season, the “Cyborg” has been evolving on another planet. In the Premier League, he has already found the net ten times in seven matches. The Citizen struck again on Thursday evening by scoring a double against the Slovenes in the Nations League. His 33rd and 34th goals in the Norwegian jersey, in just 36 games. He thus beats a record more than 90 years old by erasing Jörgen Juve…born in 1906!
