Manchester City’s Erling Haaland was met with a chorus of boos from Norway fans after their recent 2-1 loss to Scotland. Despite opening the scoring for his side from the penalty spot, Haaland was unable to complete the full game, and was eventually substituted due to fatigue.
Speaking to reporters after the match, coach Stale Stolbakken revealed that Haaland had requested to be taken off earlier in the game. “He was completely empty,” Stolbakken explained. “He has only played 60 minutes several times before. We’re talking about it being 30 degrees, it’s applied. He ran out of steam.”
It’s not uncommon for players to experience fatigue during a match, especially when playing in hot conditions. Haaland’s early exit from the game may have been disappointing for Norway fans, but it’s important to remember that even the most talented athletes need to take breaks and rest their bodies.
As a forward for Manchester City, Haaland is no stranger to high-pressure situations. He’s known for his incredible speed and precision on the field, as well as his ability to score goals from almost any angle. Despite the recent setback with the Norway national team, Haaland is sure to continue making waves in the world of football for years to come.
