Erling Haaland is ready to dominate the Premier League. A terrifying presence to any opposition, standing at 6'4" (193 cm) tall, the Norwegian wonderkid inherited the dogged work ethic of his footballing father (Alf-Inge) and burst onto the scene as a 'manchild' 15 year old at Bryne FK. Haaland then moved to Molde, before transferring to Red Bull Salzburg, where he became only the second teenager in UEFA Champions League history to score in each of his first three appearances in the competition. It was not long before Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund pounced, and Haaland established himself as one of the deadliest strikers in Europe. Now his tour of devastation continues at Manchester City. We went to Norway to learn more about his roots.
Let us show you how he became Erling Haaland, the next football superstar.

You can't hate this guy. He's a gem of a guy and a gem of a player.
@Vinny Mac neymar has won multiple trophies in several leagues along with the champions league and placing third in the ballondor twice but sure he's scared of a teenager . don't get me wrong haaland and mbappe are promising but neither have accomplished what neyMar have
Haaland already shows some smugness. People can absolutely hate him for that. That doesn't take anything away from his talent though
Setsuko don’t go too early there buddy there’s been a lot of players that were promising and never made it to what they were expected to be for example gotze or giovani dos santos they were both at their prime at a very young age
He's so overrated tho, he's basically Harry Kane but younger. Nothing Special, he shoots and he scores, thats about it. Can't dribble too well and isn't that quick with the ball. Easily stopped by defenders. Its so dumb how people are calling Haaland better than MBappe with is just sad xD, if he was that good he would've scored against PSG, we saw his true talent with no fans and answer is, he's shit. Players like Mbappe can play super well even without their fans at away games AKA a hat trick against Lyon.
Vinny Mac if you knew the fucking story you would get it
That lady looks like she cooks the best food ever, shes adorable
There is a reason the called her Tante, Aunt in English
Scholes is better than Gerrard hahaha soab!
@@oliverlarsen2119 wow, that's also how we call aunt in indonesia
@@fancywmmt Because tante is aunt in Dutch, that's where Indonesia got it from
Scholes is better than Gerrard are u stupid
The cook is so adorable. She sees Erling as her own child. So good
She really is, don‘t we all wish we had someone like her in our lives.
When she says "I miss erling" 😢
goosebumps..
I wanna see them reunited, I bet she would give him the biggest hug
Emmett Cashman she looks like she gives good hugs
she made him as healthy as he is today and fed him like her son, if I were in his position I would gift her a brilliant car and a million cash to just relax and do whatever she wants..... I bet she would continue cooking and watching the games :D such a lovely lady
Almost start crying. She is very good woman
FUN FACT:Ole was his first team coach in molde. He signed him
Ole’s Man United has a good chance of signing Haaland if they consistently play in the Champions League. If Man United doesn’t improve then the likes Real Madrid, Barcelona & Juventus would be his next destination.
A better fun fact: Dortmund front line of Haaland, Reyna and Sancho all qualify to play for England as they were all English born.
@@iMadrid11the only reason Haaland didn't move to Man Utd was his agent. Player and even his agent said his next move is the Premier League. Dortmund were the only team desperate enough to give the agent a 40 million share of any future transfer fee. Man Utd will never going to sign Haaland as long as Mina Riaola is his agent because he is at war with Man Utd for not selling his other client Pogba. He openly insults the club in media and Man Utd tried to make a deal for Haaland without the agent. But if another big Premier League wants to sign him, he will go there. Are already rumours that Kane will be sold to Man Utd and Haaland will be his replacement at Spurs.
Actually dortmund paid 45 million for haaland 20 mil transfer fee 15 mil riola agent fee 10 mil to haaland's father
@@ManVith2000 and his father and agent have also been promised 40 million of any future transfer fee. No other big club would be so ridiculous desperate to agree such an arrangement Dortmund have agreed. That is how they are able to attract these young players ahead of bigger clubs, they essentially bribe the agents to dump their players there for a bigger cut of the transfer fees.
He's got like Ronaldo's hunger & Ibrahimovic physique. And not even 20 years old. Amazing
You didn’t even mention his insane pace and mobility. It’s almost as if he was made in a lab. I’ve never seen anyone else quite like him.
...still a long way! You compare with the best ever #9`s! ...nut who knows?
...and Roy Keane!!! What an asshole! Terrible Charakter!
No one has Ronaldo’s hunger
It’s easy. He’s a viking.
I really want to see him and his chef reunite, that would be so emotional

That cook was so the sweetest lady you could tell she loves all the boys she feeds and puts love into all the food like a mom to all the boys she even started crying cause she missed him I bet he loved her just as much
Haaland was short boy who had a sudden growth spurt in his late teens. The same happened to Steven Gerrard, Kane and Dele Alli. Gerrard was said to be the smaller than Michael Owen until he was 15 years old where suddenly grew to be over 6 foot. I think these player who grow up short have to become very technical due to their lack of size and when they have that growth spurt, they maintain the technical skill of short player but now have the physical size that maybe a player who has always been tall doesn't have.
Yeah Delboy0, did you also hear his old club's cook talking about this? She made him grow with meatballs and chocolate cake:)
@@dwkickoff I am 187.2-184 cm am I even considered Tall at 187 cm,??

Man this guy has everything. Unreal speed, dribbling, finishing, first touch is always perfect, heading, adjusts his feet so quickly, intelligent, plays for the team, 6' 4", aggressive, ice cold, hunger, consistency... Seems the perfect striker at 19. Ridiculous
you where not a hater before he came to the PL
Haaland's speed shocked me. He seems to burst past others by 1 meter for each stride.
He doesn't have good dribbling abilbity as in beating a man or two. Not sure about his touch either yet anyway. Seen a few bad touches and also his passing yet because I've also seen a few giveaways from easy enough passes. Still needs to work on his heading ehich is ok but with his size and strength should be getting more headed goals. Still a great finisher with amazing speed and strength

Probably related somehow the vikings invaded Britain enough to leave a seed
And now Manchester City has just signed him. All the people who supported him throughout his journey must be so proud.
👏👏👏👏👏
and he scored 9 goals in just 5 games 2 hatricks as well
Surrounded by a team of A++ players at City, he has 11 goals in 7 EPL games. That is simply outrageous
14 goals as PL top scorer and sharing 3 goals in CL with Lewa and Mbappe, what a beast this guy is damn
That lady really loves him! I hope he never forgets about her!! Wish the best to Erling...

Today Haaland has 52 goals across all competition, He netted 36 times in the Premier League, breaking the record for the most goals scored in one 38-game season, won the treble with City, all at the age of 22. He has the work ethic of Cristiano and the humility of Messi. That's a formula for greatness right there!
Step 1: I was born, Step 2: My parents named me Erling Haaland.
Is that you Micheal Owen?
0:52 he said he was man of the match... not that he’s going to be the best in the world...

Det er sant
She's such a nice lady. What an awesome cook.
Haaland was born on July 21, 2000 in Leeds, England. He is the son of sports couple Alf Inge Haaland and Gry Marita. His father was a footballer who played for Leeds at the time of his birth, while his mother was an athlete and a Norwegian champion in heptathlon. From a very young age, football became his passion.
I live in Molde and i have seen Erling play live many times
Nice
What a great lad. The cook expressing how she missed him, true motherly vibes. Within that kind of family is where special growth occurs. However, you must always leave to just see how good and just how tall you can grow. All on your own.

Don't forget the meatballs!

you know he has a striker mentality and a good heart at the same time when he says "No, but for everything else". The confidence is real and it is the main ingredient if you want to be a goal scoring machine. There is no sign of doubt inside Haaland's brain.
0:53, he did not say that he was going to be the best player in the world, he just said that he was the MOTM
You are absolutely right. We’ll change it in the title.
@@dwkickoff Stop deceiving and sensationalizing
0:30 "My dream is to become one of the best player in the world". 0:53 "Jeg er jo banens beste så det er vel ganske bra" = "I'm the best on the field so that's pretty good".
the Norwegian people are so earthy and direct..there is no makeup, only the truth ,the bare thruth
That is why many see Norwegians as rude
8:05 The correct translation of the question from the journalist is: "Who has taught you to score goals? Because your dad couldn't (score goals)". Sort of like a funny tease towards Erlends dad, that's why the boys in the back start laughing.
Thanks, it's always helpful to have a native speaker in the comments to understand the details and some smaller translation errors.
He is part horse. He must be. I've never seen anything like him in 40 years of watching the game. He scores hat trick's like other players score single goals. Incredidible talent and maturity for such a young man of 22. I love watching him play. I kind of feel sorry for other teams trying to defend against him. Would not be surprised to see him smash the scoring record of 34 and get 40+.
HOW I became...Erling Haaland. When a Mummy and a Daddy Haaland love each other very much.......................................
Mommy Braut and Daddy Haaland

HA!😆
I've quickly became a fan after seeing Haaland. He's a beast for sure🔥🔥
The mentality of his father, that it's always a team effort could be a key to success.
It's funny like when they talk about "Back when he was 15 years old"... That's not even a long time ago... He has accomplished so much in so little time and the best is yet to come!
Father is so humble. Brilliant
Alfie is a lovely man
The way Haaland taught the interviewers how to say “Bryne” is soo adorable
„Why did you became so good in football, Haaland?“ Haaland: Why not?

Erling Haaland will be the greatest footballer on the planet when 2022 comes around, he could be as good as Messi & Ronaldo combined!
He could be the next big thing. Leadership, no diving, no clown behaviorship. You barely see it nowadays
Even when Erling is a kid he still can do interview Damn I love this guy
Only Zlatan reminds of his unbeleivable cold and calculated winning mentality. The perfect player for Mino Raiola to cash in on and that's why he's his agent. I'm sure he plans to move him around once every few years and demonstrate his machine-like goalscoring in every big league. The sky is the limit for this guy

Creds to the flawless pronunciation! First time a hear a native English speaker get both Erling and Håland right (in the Nordic way). Usually they say "Earling Haalland", but this guy is spot on.
What’s not to like about this kid. He is young, humble, funny, enthusiastic, hungry to get better and (to eat), and is a amazing world class talent. Need I say more
Fantastic dedication from a very young age, the lad is a great player already. The frightening thing about him at City is, his team aren't used to playing with a centre forward. He will be found a lot more in the near future. He will score a ridiculous amount.
We are so happy in Dortmund to have this real unbelivable viking in our team !!!
best Norwegian ever?
Take away the football and he seems like such a genuine and amazing human being. Wish him all the succces in the world he's earned every bit of it.
HIS HEIGHT GIVES HIM ADVANTAGE AGAINST DEFENDERS.
No, his movement and football-IQ gives him an advantage, theres tons of tall players that suck.
Not Marquihnos.
Manchester United im pretty sure if he was short all that would need more work for it to come true. His height is nis biggest advantage. His football iq is his 3rd as 2nd would be his finishing
It's rare to have that much speed when you're as tall as him.
So does his talent
This kid is the absolute nuts. Neymar and the other PSG players tried to mock his goal scoring Buddhist meditation celebration, his answer, I think they helped me a lot to get meditation out in the world and to show the whole world that meditation is an important thing so I'm thankful". SO NOT FAZED. That probably shut them up. It seems Erling is a genius on and off the pitch. The Devil is jealous of me. And so he should be. Great T-Shirt Erling
Yeah of course the Adversary is jealous. Because Haaland is technically not human. He genes are manipulated.
When Alfe inge Haaland first made his debut at Forest his physical prowess was outstanding, his son has his strength and seems to have amazing skill but he definitely got his strength from his Dad
He's mum was an olympic athlete, track and field. In her time,...... She measured Erling at the age of 6, taking long jumps. He's still the world record holder. For 6 year olds,........ Mummy's boy......
