So now he has finally arrived. Erling Haaland will be officially introduced to his new club Manchester City on Sunday afternoon. With great fanfare. The English paid 60 million euros for the ex-Dortmunder’s service. For Haaland himself, however, one thing is particularly important: “When I’m having fun, I score goals, then I win games. Very simple!” In addition to Haaland, ex-Bielefeld Stefan Ortega Moreno and Argentinian Julian Alvarez were also presented. At the press conference that followed, Haaland remembered the Champions League quarter-finals in 2021 and Ilkay Gündogan in particular: “I played against City with Dortmund last year and if you suddenly encounter something that you otherwise only know from television, it’s it just completely different. Suddenly I wasn’t in contact with the ball for 25 minutes, thinking to myself “Oh please Gündogan, stop playing Tiki Taka!” This here, this is a higher level again. How they play, create chances, and I want to be part of that.” So Haaland couldn’t resist a small dig at his former club. Now all he has to do is turn his words into goals. Haaland has the first chance to do so on July 30 in the English Supercup against Liverpool.
