In post-match statements, the Norwegian striker assessed the problems that come with being constantly in the spotlight.
Cyprus fans chanted the name of Haaland, author of a double in Norway’s victory (0-4)
Haaland is, without a doubt, one of the great actors on the football scene. Goalscorer and reference for both Manchester City and Norway, the striker’s name is usually on everyone’s lips. And this, as Haaland himself confessed, is a situation that is beginning to make him uncomfortable.
After finishing the match against Cyprus, in which he was once again the protagonist with a double, Haaland surprised the world with some statements in which he assured that “I’m starting to get a little tired of my own name“.
The reason for these statements was that Haaland received an ovation from the Cypriot fans, something that he did not like. “Sometimes it’s a little stressful, I’m starting to get a little tired of my own name,” the Norwegian admitted, who did not take long to qualify his words. “I appreciate the support, so I won’t complain.”
Haaland also wanted to take the opportunity to talk about the Spanish team, which he receives this Sunday in Oslo. “We know that Spain is a good team, one of the best. We must do our best and all of Norway must support us”
