Erling Braut Haaland on the magical lasagna
Erling Haaland, 22, has scored hat-tricks in three consecutive home matches.
Now he reveals the secret behind success.
– I have to eat it for the rest of my life, he says in Viaplay’s “Haaland Conquers England”.
In parallel with the FIFA World Cup being held in Qatar, Premier League top scorer Erling Braut Haaland has been able to recharge his energies in peace and quiet with a short holiday in Marbella followed by a training camp with Manchester City in Dubai.
– The break was very good for me. I’m done and ready for the second part of the season, fully charged and ready to drive again. It’s going to be amazing,” he said in a long-form interview with Fiplay titled “Haaland Conquers England.”
Alves lasagna
With 18 goals in 13 league matches, the Norwegian has swept England by storm in his first six months at City.
For a while during the fall, the 22-year-old was completely unstoppable. From 21 August to 8 October, he found the net in seven consecutive league matches.
This period included, among other things, three consecutive hat-tricks on home soil. The star attacker, who has made himself known for being meticulous with his diet, talks about the “secret” behind the crazy weeks — his Thousand-Ing Father’s Day lasagna.
– It’s good, really good. But I will tell you something honest. They made lasagna once and I ate it. The next day I scored a triple. What can be done then? They did it again for the next home game – another treble. Well, I’ll have to eat it for the rest of my life. I’m glad they did. They make it with love. You can call it triple lasagna.
Zlatan’s mentality is the best.
As a three-goal scorer, the tradition is for a player to get the ball home and then have it signed by his teammates. In total, Haaland has won 12 hat-tricks since Molde left for Salzburg.
– The feeling of getting a new triple ball, it’s the best feeling in the world. It’s crazy, but I didn’t think much of it, he says in an interview with Fiaplay.
In an interview with Fiplay, the Norwegian also took the opportunity to pay tribute to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is nearing his comeback in Milan after a knee injury.
– He did a lot of good things. His mentality comes out of nowhere in Malmö and works so hard, he’s great. To be as big as he is and to be flexible. His mentality is probably the best in football.
On Wednesday, December 28th, the English Premier League will resume with Manchester City when they face Leeds away from home.
