On Tuesday, it is a fateful match for Norway against Serbia in the Nations League for Norway’s football profile. Norway needs a point to win the group. Serbia ready for the toilet must win to secure victory in the pool and promotion to level one
– I come to a club that I knew was among the best in many ways, including the medical one. I received good treatment and worked well together with mine. The medical equipment around the city is absolutely fantastic. He is a big part of Pep’s team. Just to thank the City apparatus, Haaland answers VG’s questions.
In the last season of Borussia Dortmund, the striker was absent due to injury and illness for a total of 110 days. The season is still young. But the number corresponding to Manchester City so far is zero.
He only played 40 minutes of City’s two training games in the United States in July, but has started all mandatory games since the start of the season.
Overall, Erling Braut Haaland played 1,915 of the 3,060 possible minutes in the Bundesliga last season. In the Premier League, Jærbuen played 575 out of 630 minutes. That’s a huge increase: 45.8 percent more than playing time in Germany.
– The important thing is that he has no minor injuries. “Our physiotherapists and doctors have done a fantastic job with him since he came to the club,” Pep Guardiola said in August.
The City manager is known for having both hands on the wheel. Club physiotherapist Mario Pafundi clearly found the tone with Haaland. He joined the Norway squad ahead of Nations League matches against Slovenia (Saturday) and Serbia (Tuesday).
– Mario is a physio that Pep brought to City. He got used to my body, says Haaland.
– He’s a great physique. It is good that we can have him here and that we manage to have a mix with the other two good physicists we have in the national team. It is important to take care of your body and be treated. He is someone who can help us take further steps, explains Haaland at the press conference she opened with that Haaland reacted to NRK’s questions about the City’s owners.
According to the Daily Mail, Manchester City have also previously sent a physiotherapist to accompany Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Agüero in their matches with Belgium and Argentina respectively.
In the Nations League group stage that began this summer, Haaland played all five games. He also scored six of Norway’s seven goals and also witnessed Alexander Sørloth’s goal in their home game against Sweden in June.
825 over 900 minutes
In domestic matches in September last year, Haaland regularly wreaked havoc when on the pitch. The 22-year-old has played ten games and scored in nine. In total, there were 14 goals and the only game in which he did not score was the 0-0 home game against Slovenia.
When World Cup qualification was to be decided last fall, Haaland got injured.
At Manchester City he has played 825 of the 900 possible minutes in the Premier and Champions League and has scored 14 goals so far.
– I didn’t expect to score 14 goals. I have to be honest. But I was absolutely sure that I would score goals for a team that scored 100 goals last season, says Erling Braut Haaland.
