Will enter the World Cup! Haaland: Norway has been groping for a long time and is now on the right path

Haaland recently accepted an exclusive interview and talked about the public's perception of him, the balance between life and status, and leading the Norwegian team to the World Cup. ​

Q:​ The outside world has many opinions about you. Some teammates even said that people don’t really understand you. The image presented by the media is different from the real you.

Haaland: Yes, the whole world does have different views on me. ​

Question: How do you balance your life?

Haaland: There must be a balance in life. Otherwise, it is easy to fall into various adversities. ​

Question: Do you think you are in the best shape of your life?

Harland: Yes. ​

Q:​ You are now the captain of the Norwegian team and are expected to lead the team back to the World Cup after 25 years.

Harland: I have accumulated a lot of experience and knowledge in my mind.

Q: You have a great team supporting you off the court.

Harland: Yes, there are many excellent people around me who help me to enjoy life better. ​

Q:​ How do you feel when you see the Norwegian flag?

Haaland: What I see is unity, everything that Norway stands for. It means a lot to me every time I wear the national team jersey and the flag on my chest.

Q: What do you think the Norwegian team represents internationally?

Haaland: We represent unity and more. We are down-to-earth and work hard. Now, we are getting closer to our goal. ​

Q: What do you think is your most important contribution to the Norwegian team?

Harland: Be myself. Of course I will contribute my football ability and I have always done so since my debut with the national team. But you don’t have to deliberately become someone else. Only by being yourself can you go further. ​

Question:​ You have broken many records, how do you digest these achievements?

Harland:​ It’s not easy. I don't think about it very much. It doesn't make much sense to list these records. ​

Q: Your teammates are very happy that the Norwegian people can now see a more real you. Do you care about this?

Harland: I don’t really care. What matters is that the people around me understand me. I can't control what other people think of me, that's just the way it is. ​

Q: What does it mean to you to be a role model?

Harland: It’s certainly good to be a role model, and that’s what I hope to do. As I always say, it’s important to make simple and right choices in life. I just wish most people could have a better life. ​

Q:​ What do you think of the future of the Norwegian national team?

Haaland: I have said many times that I feel we are on the right path. This generation of players is outstanding, many are in their prime, and there are many young players who will come of age in the coming years.

Question: You are only 25 years old, do you feel you have reached your peak?

Harland: I am only 25 years old and I feel very good, but I still don’t think I am in the best condition. There are a lot of players on the team who are coming up. We've been fumbling for a long time, and now I feel like we've finally found the right way.
