Just after 15.46, news’s photographer caught Haaland’s private plane on the runway at Gardermoen. A few minutes later the door opened and out stepped the super striker. For the occasion, dressed in black and with her hair hanging loose. Two unidentified men also came out of the plane, as well as Isabel Haugseng Johansen. On Monday evening, Haaland and the majority of the Manchester City players returned to Manchester, after winning the Champions League final in Istanbul. The 1-0 win over Italian Inter was City’s first win in the tournament. There they were driven around on an open bus, and hailed by tens of thousands of people. – Al Pacino Back on Norwegian soil, Haaland will join the national team that is preparing for the EC qualifiers against Scotland and Cyprus. That after days of celebration and tribute. National team manager Ståle Solbakken has highlighted several times how Haaland must now be mentally ready for a new effort on the eve of a successful season. When news asks which buttons Solbakken should press, he replies: – It won’t be like I go into his room and give an Al Pacino speech like that now to get him started on Saturday. It’s about common sense. Rest, sleep, proper food and tactical training. I have to respect that we may have to add a slightly different twist to Saturday than with another player, considering what he has been through, says Solbakken. – How will it be twisted? – He must be honest about how he feels. How tired are you mentally and physically? How quickly can you process those impressions? You should make it to Saturday, and I have no doubt he will make it. But in order for him to be able to do it, we have to have a session that enables him to do it, as 100 per cent safely as possible, says Solbakken.
