– He is a top guy off the field, a real character, which you may have seen yourself with singing and such. He is a big addition to the team, and he makes everyone laugh, says Foden to Football Daily. Foden and Haaland already had good chemistry before the transfer to City became clear this summer. When Dortmund met City, the TV cameras caught the duo chatting and laughing together after the match. Foden believes Haaland’s popularity in the City dressing room comes a lot from the fact that he doesn’t act like he’s better than everyone else. – He is humble. I think that is important when new players arrive. He is hungry to achieve things, which is only positive, says Foden. How are things going with Haaland at City? He will be a success Medium He flops Show result – There he is scary Haaland scored against Bayern in his first appearance for City when the teams met in a training match last weekend. On Saturday, the Norway forward can make his official debut when City meet Liverpool in the English Super Cup. Foden has allowed himself to be impressed by what he has seen of the Jærbow in training so far. – When it comes to what happens in front of goal, he is scary there. Everyone is clear about his goal stats, but he comes to a new league with a much faster pace. It may take some time to get used to this. But I am sure that he will be completely unstoppable when he gets up to full speed, says Foden. He believes the Norwegian has so far shown what he can do at City training sessions. – Haaland has many different ways to finish. If we can get him the ball in the right positions, he will be very important for us this season, says Foden. Haaland and Jack Grealish have found the tone.

It’s not just because he scores a lot of goals, but because he was nice and sociable, says Fuglestad to news. It seems that the Norwegian 22-year-old has settled in at his new club. Both pictures and videos show that there is apparently a very good atmosphere with the jærbow in the team. – I think it is deliberate that he is like that. He is, after all, a Jærbu, and they are mostly down-to-earth people. He wants to define himself as an ordinary Jærbu, believes Fuglestad, who himself is from Bryne. Among other things, he gave a small speech during the team dinner, where he thanked his teammates. The speech was filmed by Grealish. – Thank you for the warm welcome. I really appreciate it. Hope everyone enjoys the day, and let’s just keep going, Haaland said to great applause from his teammates, who continued to sing his name. Have faith in a new super duo The aforementioned Grealish really seems to have found the tone with Haaland. It was he who assisted the Norwegian’s first goal, and when the teams had to go to the dressing room due to bad weather, an exchange of messages appeared between the two City profiles. – Erling! I told you so,” Grealish said. – That’s why I’m here – because of those balls. That’s why I’m here, Haaland replied in a video published by VG. GOOD START: Jack Grealish and Erling Braut Haaland really seemed to have found the tone as they beat Bayern Munich. Photo: JAMIE SQUIRE / AFP Fuglestad thinks it bodes well, and he hopes the two can create a new super duo. – It benefits them that they gain an understanding. There are some players who have a better understanding of where to find their partner. Son Heung-min and Harry Kane are an example. There are some who just have that understanding of how they find each other. It is fair to hope that they (Haaland and Grealish) manage to do the same, and then there could be many goals, believes the City supporter. His new boss, Pep Guardiola, also believes that he will adapt to the light blues very well. – If the types who come to the club are normal, then it is not so easy to integrate them into the team. This group of players is exceptional, just look,” Guardiola said after the training match against Bayern Munich. HAALAND’S BOSS: Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.

We don’t put a lot of pressure on the new players. He has to settle into his private life, find a house or a flat in Manchester, and listen to the older players and what we say in training. Then he will grow and get better, Guardiola told TV 2. – There are probably many who struggle a bit. Fuglestad gives examples of several players who struggled at the start under Guardiola, but who have flourished later – including Rodri and João Cancelo . – There are probably many who struggle a bit with Guardiola, because there is so much new. Grealish has also been a bit unsure of himself, considering how he will adapt the orders from Pep and how he himself wants to play football. I think he has a better understanding of that now, he says. The vast majority believe the Norwegian will fight for the top scorer title. So does former Premier League profile Ben Foster. – It’s just “wow”. I think he will pulverize the Premier League this season. I think he can score bucketloads of goals. I think he’s going to score around 30, but I think he’s going to have a great season. “He’s going to take the league by storm,” Foster said on his YouTube channel recently. He adds that with signings like Haaland, he believes the club can win both the Premier League and the Champions League. Haaland and Manchester City meet Liverpool in the Community Shield on Saturday at 6pm.
