[00:01] First of all, me. Of course, Erling Haaland. [00:08] Erling Haaland is a six foot four Norwegian goal scoring machine. [00:14] The Manchester City striker holds the record for [00:17] the most ever goals scored during an English Premier League season. [00:21] He's only 25 and he's already scored [00:24] more than 300 goals in his professional and national team career. [00:27] Goes into the back of the net. [00:29] Haaland has become the face of his sport, [00:31] with fans traveling from around the world to see him play. [00:34] I'm so excited. Yeah. [00:36] In June, Haaland traveled to the States with [00:38] Manchester City to compete in the FIFA Club World Cup. [00:42] And time caught up with him between games in sunny Boca Raton, [00:45] Florida, for this week's cover story. [00:47] The Sun. Been aggressive. Towards me. [00:50] Uh, but, uh. But nah, [00:52] I enjoy it. I love the sun. [00:54] I just need to be careful because my my skin is a bit, [00:58] uh, it's a bit vulnerable in these temperatures. [01:06] I think people think I'm like. [01:09] a bit like this, but I'm really calm, you know? [01:13] I'm just going to have a good time. [01:15] That's really what I want to do. I want to smile. [01:17] I want to enjoy on the pitch is how it should be [01:19] on the pitch and then off the pitch you're completely different. [01:22] So off the pitch is, uh, [01:25] is a calm guy that just want to have fun, enjoy, [01:29] uh, enjoy my life and on the pitch, [01:31] want to attack like a Viking. [01:33] When you've got the striking Viking, [01:35] you've got a guarantee of goals. [01:40] First of all, they obviously the history is is incredible. [01:44] Of course, a lot of things were not were not good. [01:48] What they did obviously. Let's be honest. [01:50] Uh, but uh, I like the mentality kind of thing that I don't care about anything. [01:57] We're just going to go there and get our job done. [02:00] You know, also that they were stronger and better than everyone. [02:05] Literally. That's what I that's what I love. [02:08] And also the, the togetherness as well. [02:10] I think they had like an incredible bonding [02:14] between each other when they were sailing across, [02:16] uh, the whole world and everything. [02:18] So the Vikings are inspiring. Of course. [02:27] I played it since I was really young. [02:29] So for me, now a dream come true [02:32] because I didn't dream of getting on Clash of Clans when I was young, you know? [02:36] But, uh, but to be to play a game when you're young and also when you're [02:41] older and then be able to work together with them and then getting on the game is, [02:46] uh, for me, really special. [02:52] He never pushed me to anything. [02:54] Uh, but, uh, he, [02:56] he early knew that I wanted to become good at football. [02:59] And I said a long time, [03:00] hopefully one day I'll become better than you. [03:03] I told him many times, [03:04] uh, and, uh, and. [03:06] Yeah, that's also something that's been kind of a motivation for me, [03:10] uh, ever since I was young, [03:12] you know, to to live from football and to become better than him. [03:17] I love, uh, celebrating. [03:19] First of all, what does everybody want to do? [03:21] What does everybody try? They try to score goals. [03:23] I remember when I scored one goal. [03:25] It was such a good feeling in me that I was like, I want to do this. [03:28] I want to become an expert on this. [03:30] Just score as many goals as possible to get this feeling again and again. [03:37] What does she know about Norway? First of all, me. [03:40] Of course, Erling Haaland. [03:43] It's important. Important thing? Of course. [03:47] Uh, no. [03:48] But small country, [03:50] uh, which has achieved great things. [03:54] We are really like, uh, athlete country. [03:58] Really? If it comes from skiing, running, [03:59] football, handball. [04:01] We golf. [04:03] Tennis. There's a lot of sports that we're good in. I mean, everything. [04:10] You know, this is what I've been trying to do now [04:13] for ever since I came to the national team six years ago. [04:16] So it's a dream. [04:18] And, uh, I've said it many times before, [04:20] I'll do everything I can to make it happen.
