Bundesliga’s representatives got a chance to have an exclusive interview with Erling. They caught him after the regular training and Erling was very honest with them.
1 year as the player of Dortmund Borussia
Erling Haaland said that he is very proud and happy to be here. Dortmund’s striker noted that this year was very active and slow at the same time. Haaland said that the pandemic was tough for him. He was afraid of the future and what could happen due to pandemic and lockdowns. After getting back to the pitch, he is very confident and happy that he has a chance to play at ‘yellow wall’.
Connection with Edin Terzic
As you may know, Dortmund has a new coach. Edin Terzic is a really good coach and he is trying best to take Dortmund to another level. Erling Haaland said that he is very close with Edin. He said that Edin is helping him to score more headers. During the training, Edin was the only coach that helped him with the crosses. Erling said that Terzic gives him lots of crosses during the training and he is working on his header after those crosses.
Erling’s thought on formation and Marco Reus
Haaland said that Marco Reus is a true legend in Borussia and he will stay like that. Reus is very much needed according to Erling. The striker noted that Marco thinks differently when it comes to attacking phrases. He asked journalists to remember the moments Reus created for him and Jayden Sancho. Those moments are very creative and no one can repeat. That’s why Dortmund needs Marco Reus at his best.
Cristiano Ronaldo is an inspiration for Erling
Youngster noted that Ronaldo is a real goal-scoring machine. Before every match, Haaland is trying to understand the mind of Cristiano and learn as much as possible from the Portuguese.
