9 | Erling Haaland - 2023/24

Insane that he scores a brace and there's barely a mention of him because it's become so commonplace. He's a special player and can't wait to watch him again this season

Yep, Pep at it again. He knows how it works - Haaland can bag 40 in league games and social media will say he's the best in the world. He, like me, I suspect, is learning just how entwined the new negeration is with this stuff. Pep won't let it lie. Get the camera off him. You think that's good? That's enough? Do it in the late stages CL. Learn to play the ball like Kane. Get shaper, recognise your mistakes. Learn from them. You have a long way to go.

That's what we want Haaland to have in his head. Because people like Pogba get 50m social media likes for a haircut + dragging their studs on a ball. They get the front cover of FIFA for half a seasons work and being a popular figure. And they win nothing, and are nothing like as good as they could have been.

Pogba has won the world cup to be fair to him haha and Serie A titles. But I do think he was a real talent brought down by his own mentality.

But yeah its a fair point. Still, I think Haaland is extremely professional and really takes care of himself off the pitch.

I know he looks up to Ronaldo, and for all the bad things we could say about him, I'd still tell any player to look up to him in regards to keeping yourself in top condition, eating right, willingness to keep improving. He's a great example in that respect and Haaland seems to be on that path. And I think he knows he's working with the best coach there is and will take everything on board.

I'd never worry about Haaland. I think the club and his old man will keep him on the right path, and I think he would himself anyway.

Is this true?

As an over thinker it sounded like Erling is getting a bit pissed with Pep in his interview with Sky, the comment about doesn't know if Pep is the best for young players and trying to work with the chaos around him...

Doesn't sound great

Nothing of note. Haaland was laughing at pep talking to him at half time.
