Erling Haaland’s Post-Match Comments
“I feel good. I feel energised. I had a long vacation and a long pre-season so I am feeling good,” Haaland shared in an interview with Sky Sports.
“The years I have been here it has gone really quick – like, bam, bam, bam – so now I have got a little rest in my body and my feet. I feel really good now and I am ready for more.
“Only footballers know how important it is to have a long enough break. In the end, you need to calm down your body and your mind because it is a long season and it is not as easy as people think.”
