Erling Haaland admits he’s gone his whole career without knowing basic football rule

The Manchester City and Norway striker has also revealed the changes he would make to football.

Erling Haaland has opened up on what “annoys” him most in modern football and in doing so, the Norwegian made a confession about throws-ins.

He spoke about how he can improve on and off the pitch, as well as his unwavering belief in manager Pep Guardiola after the Spaniard led City to a famous treble.

One of the biggest talking points, however, included his thought process on using technology across the field of play, including throw-ins.

In short, Haaland believes teams profit too much by using underhand tactics such as “stealing” too many metres.
