Erling Haaland has been in sensational form this season. The Norwegian has scored 14 goals this season in the Premier League for Manchester City.
After the departure of Kevin De Bruyne and during the absence of Rodri, he is leading the side by example. But he is not only doing this for his club but also for his national side.
He has led the Norwegian national team into the 2026 FIFA World Cup for the first time in 28 years. The last time they played in a World Cup was in France 1998.
Also, Haaland scored 16 goals during the qualification round, reaching the same figure that Robert Lewandowski achieved in 2018 for Poland.
Norway, as a nation, is now dreaming of doing something incredible at the World Cup. They can now dream because of Erling Haaland.
Meanwhile, Norway perhaps have the best team in years. Apart from Haaland, they have players like Alexander Sorloth and Martin Odegaard.
They now have players who are capable of doing well on the world stage. However, most Norwegian people will be looking after one man, Erling Braut Haaland.
However, even before Haaland became a global superstar, there was a person who recognised his talent and conveyed it to the whole world.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) in 2018, an account named Fredrik told the entire world to keep an eye on the 18-year-old Erling Braut Haaland.
Now, Haaland has shared that tweet from his own account, which made fans go crazy. It shows that Haaland remembers the person who recognised his talent before the world did.
Erling Haaland will be in action next time when Manchester City take on Newcastle United at St. James’ Park.
