Drontheim

Good evening, I hope I'm still allowed to write in English. I thought your U21s were impressive, especially Wimmer who has been promising in the German BuLi as well. As for Norway, our coach is very limited and wanted to out-muscle your team instead of fielding the technical players. Believe me, there are some really promising ones on the bench even though we played a terrible and lucky game. Oppegård, Schjelderup (only 17), Sahraoui, Mannsverk and Ceide in particular on todays bench are huge talent who should be playing. Anyway good luck and I look forward to the other game

@OidaFoda He only played half a season in Norway when he got those 12-13 goals. He was on fire from the moment he got the chance, and he would easily have outscored Gulbrandsen here in Salzburg too if he got the chance during the Spring. Sorry for the English.

@bourbon The article is just quoting an agent (Stig Lillejord) saying that Haaland will cost anywhere between £50m and £100m if he bags in a few goals against either Napoli or Liverpool. It's just speculation, but I guess you kind of have to agree. If he scores against a team like that, he will have shown how high his ceiling can be at such an early age.

Sorry about the English, but I thought I'd chip in. I have seen the majority of Genk's matches during the last two years, as well as yours this season (because of the big Braut, of course). And while Genk was a fantastic team a few months ago, they are nowhere near that level at the moment. They lost Pozuelo, Trossard and Malinovskyi to name a few, and they haven't really replaced them properly. If they still had their squad from a few months ago, I'd probably put it as a 50/50 match. But now? Probably along the lines of 60-40 in your favour, if not more. Ito on their right wing is pretty lively. Samatta can cause trouble. Sander Berge is able to dominate a midfield with his size, but he's been below pair so far this season (except for the Norwegian NT, where he was really good recently). match tip; 4-1

The guy visiting Haaland is Bernt Hulsker, a former player and now a so-called football expert. Video 1: (Reading on the mirror) BH: «So sehen sieger aus!», can you tell me what it means? Haaland: I have to be honest, I have no idea BH: It means «This is what victory looks like» (Out the pitch) BH: You have been here for a while, how’s life in Austria? Haaland: It’s nice. Life is nice. (…) BH: Are you a definite starter for RBS now? Haaland: I don’t want to say too much about it, but I’ve had a good start. BH: There are lots of great players that has played for RBS in the past, are you seeing your time here as a stepping stone? Haaland: Right now I’m only thinking about Salzburg. But my dream/goal is to play for one of the best clubs in the world. Video 2 Haaland (reading a Instagram message from Fredrik Gulbrandsen, sent to Bernt Hulsker) You didn’t bother visiting Salzburg when I was there, that’s alright. BH: I feel pretty bad. I should go to Istanbul next. (At Taxham) BH: How are the training sessions here compared to those at home? Haaland: They are intense. You have to be switched ‘on’, to put it mildly. Pressing, you know. Gegenpressing. BH: Is he (Marsch) applying that? Haaland: You bet. BH: How is it? Haaland: I have a long term goal of finishing a match without muscle cramps BH: Really? Are they that frequent? Haaland: Yes, the cramps are there every single match (On the bench) BH: Mino Raiola, is he your agent now? Haaland: I haven’t signed anything with him, but we’re talking. BH: How is he? Haaland: He’s a friendly type of person BH: He’s not a friendly type of person, you can not mean that Haaland: Yes he is. He is very direct. He’s not lying, he’s honest with me. It’s something that I appreciate

Why doesn't Haaland get any chances? From a Norwegian point of view, he's much better than Gulbrandsen.

It might have been lost in translation, but in no way have I dissed RB Salzburg. I'm just saying that most people seem to dislike the concept. Personally I don't care, it's not different from other teams.

People are pretty pissed at the Red Bull franchise but even more pissed at the fact that Rosenborg have to play Celtic again. They met twice last year and also in this years qualification. But the group looks fun. Rosenborg is pretty weak at the moment (injuries, looking for a new manager, haven't strengthened), but they are no walk-over. Should be fun! PS: Red Bull only goes with vodka

Hard to say, but if TV-interviews is anything to go by he's very humble and a bit shy. Doesn't look like it on the pitch though! He's a very passionate player, full of energy. That's probably his biggest strength. He's a handful for the opponent. I think RBS and Haaland will be a good match. On another note, how is Gulbrandsen doing?

Hello! EBH recently changed the spelling of his name from "Håland" to "Haaland". It's normal for Norwegian footballers to have more "international" versions of their names abroad (like Solskjaer instead of Solskjær), but Haaland has now officially changed it on paper. The exception being Ødegaard, who has his Ø printed on the Real Madrid jersey. Good luck with Haaland! He's a beast. He's bringing lots of energy and passion.
