Erling Haaland ‘hasn’t changed’ after Manchester City were found guilty
Erling Haaland has been “completely unchanged” in his behavior after the “leather contract” ruling against Manchester City, according to Norway teammate Kristoffer Ajer.
Haaland will play his first game on Thursday since the Premier League’s crushing ruling against Man City, which stated that the club has artificially inflated its club revenue by £900 million between 2009 and 2018.
Norway surprisingly lost to Wales in the Nations League on Thursday, where Haaland did not get on the scoresheet, while his club faces enormous uncertainty after the Premier League’s statement. “But there is clearly no connection…
“Ever since I met him, he has brought a lot of energy and joy to the group,” Brentford stopper Ajer said when asked about Haaland’s behaviour in the Norway camp since City’s guilty verdict was announced on Tuesday.
“That’s the biggest compliment I always give – he hasn’t changed in the slightest from the moment I met him, even though he’s the biggest star on the planet right now.
“He’s been exactly the same the last few days as well, which is no surprise to me.”
City ruling “not discussed” in the Norway camp
Haaland scored against Portugal in a 2-1 defeat two days later, having previously scored two against Denmark to extend his record as the Nations League’s all-time top scorer to 22 goals.
Ajer said: “He’s the best player in the world if you ask me, so hopefully he’ll score some tomorrow as well.
“I have to honestly admit that I have read very little about it [the City situation]. We don’t talk much about it here.
“Of course, it was a statement that was released yesterday, so it’s quite fresh and new.
“But we’re just footballers, we don’t know all the details and everything that’s talked about in the media.
“So we haven’t really had any fantastic discussions about it where we know a lot.”
Man City ruling: Haaland’s future uncertain
Haaland’s and many of his teammates’ futures could be thrown into serious doubt after the ruling, as the punishment has not yet been determined.
No punishment is to be ruled out, and it is suggested that the club could be banned from the Premier League – which will undoubtedly lead to players like Haaland leaving the club.
No current player has commented on the ruling, although City have released a new statement in which they reaffirm that they strictly reject the allegations and have irrefutable evidence that will exonerate them.
