Haaland reveals his “favorite tournament”

London (AFP)

Norway’s Erling Haaland, the new international striker for Manchester City, hopes to help his team win the Champions League, which the “Blomon” dreams of, during his presentation “Sunday” with the new arrivals to the “Etihad” stadium.
Nearly 5,000 fans gathered under the sun to welcome the former German striker, Borussia Dortmund, who moved to City in a deal that has so far been considered the most prominent in the summer transfer market.
Haaland is considered the most prominent weapon of Spanish Pep Guardiola in the Champions League, where he scored 23 goals in 19 games, in the pursuit of the former Barcelona coach to win the title of the continental competition for the first time with City, after he had led him to win the league title four times in the last five years.
The best result of the England champion on the continental scene in the Champions League remains his arrival in the 2021 final, when he lost to his compatriot Chelsea 0-1.
When asked if the Champions League was his main goal after signing for City, he replied: “The Champions League is my favorite competition, so I think that answers your question.”
“Sometimes I see other players post pictures with trophies and say I hope to be in your place now, but I have to keep working hard, and I hope I can win some titles in the future,” said Haaland, whose record includes only winning the German Cup with Dortmund in two years.
The Norwegian international striker “The Giant” is a big fan of City, as his father played as a child, but more than that since Guardiola supervised his training, as Haaland knows that he has to overcome a huge barrier.
“It’s a completely different level, the way they play games and the way they play, that’s what I want to be part of,” he admitted.
On the individual level, Haaland realizes that he is striving for perfection; So, he says, “headers, shots, moves with the ball and without it (I can still develop) everything.”
He promised his fans that he would be “a player who smiles a lot and works a lot,” and concluded by warning his opponents, “I want to have fun; Because when I have fun, I score goals.
