After Manchester City's 1-0 victory over Brentford, Haaland, who scored the winning goal, was interviewed and talked about topics such as the tough game, his form and the positive impact of being a father.
How to evaluate this difficult game?
It was a tough game that reminded me of Stoke City where Rory Drapp played 15 years ago. They are tall and can throw out of boundary balls from the midfield, so the game is certainly not easy. But it's about preparing for the upcoming situation and conducting adequate analysis, and we did it. The work of the staff behind the scenes was done very well, and all the praise was attributed to them.
It is not easy to deal with when placing a bus (low post defense). There are five people around us at any time. That's why the game is tough and why (win) feels better.
You mentioned that you feel better now than ever, why is that?
I never felt better than now. It's about preparation, preparing for the game. You can be physically prepared, but you also need to be mentally prepared.
Having a child makes me stronger because I am more able to pull out than ever before, and I don't think about football at all. When you were young, you would think about this and that, and maybe you would worry about something, but now I will feel more relaxed when I get home. I think I need to pay tribute to my son.
How do you evaluate your goal today?
For me, this goal is top-notch. All things considered, this is one of my personal best goals.
