Erling Haaland appears to call out Man City teammate in Norway training – ‘Can’t you start running?’
The Norwegian Football Federation has given an intriguing insight into the mind of Erling Haaland with some mic’d up training footage. The unstoppable Manchester City striker is away on international duty where he’s looking to guide his nation to a first World Cup since 1998. @nff_landslagFans were given a fascinating glimpse into how Haaland competes and motivates in training.[/caption] One moment showed him unhappy with his City teammate@nff_landslag Norway are on the brink of achieving that feat during the current October qualifying matches, and Haaland has shown his winning mentality and famous humour that’s made him loved in and outside of Manchester. What did Haaland say to his Norway teammates? However, one moment may stick out more than the others for City fans, with his teammate at club and country, Oscar Bobb, getting called out during one drill. The camera switches to the versatile 22-year-old standing on the touchline by himself, and Haaland says: “Oscar, please, can’t you start running?” Bobb isn’t the only one not up to Haaland’s standard during the session, though, with Benfica’s Andreas Schjelderup called out for not trying hard enough during a training rondo. “You’re allowed to be on your toes Schjelderup, it’s allowed,” he says, before telling Brann goalkeeper Mathias Dyngeland: “Brilliant, Dynge you play like Rodri.” Another teammate, Thelo Aasgaard, also gets the most amusing call out during another drill. Speaking to the Liverpool-born Rangers midfielder in English, he says: “Thelo! Are you f***ing alright? “Have you been drinking? What did you do last night?” Throughout the drills, Haaland shows his talent that’s saw him become Norway’s all-time top scorer with 48 goals in 45 games. He notches a number of typically beastly finishes, but also keeps intercepting passes in rondos, showing up his inferior teammates. @nff_landslagHaaland brought the jokes[/caption] But also imparted plenty of insight@nff_landslag View Tweet: https://t.co/qcTDRuxh6J But he also continually shows his unrivaled competitiveness, even getting annoyed when an opposing team are allowed to begin one drill. “Who starts? What a shock,” he says, before getting annoyed at his team, adding: “Oh my god it’s so bad now. It’s making me unwell.” One of his few top level teammates, Sander Berge also shows the same steely mentality when a coach calls a ball out of play in favour of Haaland. “You act like his dog!” the angry midfielder shouts to the sidelines. How close is Norway to qualifying for next year’s World Cup? Norway need a win against Israel on October 11 and if Estonia can take points off Italy elsewhere in the group they’ll be back in the biggest competition in world football. The Scandinavian country also hasn’t featured in the European Championships since 2000, showing just how big an achievement this would be. Haaland is a history maker with Norway and is now set to become a legend with World Cup qualificationAFP Thankfully he has other teammates like Berge who are fierce competitors@nff_landslag Haaland hasn’t done it all himself, with help from other elite players like Arsenal’s Martin Odegaard, Borussia Dortmund’s Julian Ryerson and Atletico Madrid’s Alexander Sorloth. Yet the vice captain may be the one they look up to the most, as he imparts some interesting wisdom on a coach during a finishing drill. “Brede, most things are not about quality,” he says. “It’s all about mentality, you have to want to score.”
