BVB: The strange Haaland interview, which is not strange at all

“Are you sleeping alone today?” Haaland’s extravagant interview causes laughter in the TV studio

Erling Braut Haaland was once again the match winner in Borussia Dortmund’s 3-0 victory in the Champions League against FC Brugge. The 20-year-old Norwegian has scored twice, with which he has already scored 14 goals after the eleventh Champions League match. No one before him has reached this milestone so quickly.

Obviously, the two-goal scorer had to go to the UEFA interview after the match, and it turned out to be rather odd. It started off in a funny way: “Did you just straighten your hair – you didn’t need it because you stomped your foot twice …?” Asked the interviewer. “Yes, it was a good evening with three important points,” Haaland replied curtly.

Eventually it becomes very strange: “Do you sleep alone today?”, Asks the interviewer. Haaland again abruptly “Ahem … yes!” But the reporter insists: “So you don’t bring home a girl – you didn’t score a hat-trick?” Haaland replies, “No, I didn’t” and finally heads for the cabin.

At ‘CBS Sports’, where the interview is broadcast by UEFA, the presenter and the studio experts laugh at each other. Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher is stunned: “Jesus Christ! Will anyone be released now? “Even former ManCity player Micah Richards can’t believe what he heard:” I don’t know where this interview is going! “

But if you know the background of the questions, the interview wasn’t that fun. Last fall Haaland – at the time still in the service of RB Salzburg – said in an interview that he would take the balls home after a hat-trick and would even call them his “friends”. “I sleep with all five balls with which I scored a hat-trick. I’m in bed and I feel good about them. “I watch them every day. They are my friends “, then said the Norwegian in” Dagbladet “.

The interviewer apparently remembered this interview and asked his questions about sleep, which were plausible in this context. What the reporter was trying to achieve with his hair question, we didn’t find out. You know then write it in the comments! (pre)
