Erling Haaland is definitely a player apart. On the one hand, for his overpowered ball strike, the one that almost broke Keylor Navas’ net in the knockout round of the Champions League between Dortmund and PSG, but above all for his tempered steel mentality.
At the heart of a controversy that had all the time to develop with confinement, Erling Haaland was not destabilized, on the contrary. We rewind the story: in the first leg, Dortmund and Haaland walk on PSG. Haaland scores a double and signs the second goal of a “zen” celebration which has the gift of annoying Parisian stars, especially since Haaland’s teammates are putting on a layer, just like the accounts of the BVB on the networks before the return match.
Haaland: “I’m glad they did it”
The Parisians, who have already paid dearly in the recent past for having celebrated a qualification too loudly before the return match, reverse the situation on their field behind closed doors and target the young Norwegian, only 19 years old, of a celebration collective “zen”. What trigger the disapproval of the small world of football, like Gary Lineker, who have plenty of time to comment since at the same time, football stops and Europe returns to containment.
And what about Erling Haaland? After having answered with irony in May (“I think they helped me a lot to popularize meditation”), he gave a layer in an interview to BT Sport: “It pissed me off getting out of the Champions League. But on the celebration, I’m glad they did it, I don’t mind at all to be honest.” We will have to do a little more to destabilize the Norwegian giant, hoping that PSG and Dortmund will find themselves in the Champions League next season.
