Ive done it a couple of times before, so Im really looking forward to it. I will handle pre sure like Ive been doing my whole career, trying to enjoy every single minute, every moment and trying not to think too much because overthinking is not a good thing for every human being. I try to relax when I can relax and enjoy every single moment I can and to work hard.Haaland has gone from Bryne to Molde,to Salzburg, then on to Dortmund, and now he has switched to City. He believes the career trajectory, guided by his father Alf-Inge and his late agent Mino Raiola, has gone as well as anyone couldhave hoped.Weve been doing every step perfectly now, Haaland said. I have a good andsmall team around me that is focused a lot.I have really good friends from my home town NBA Orlando Magic Jeresy , and I have people who push me when they should push me and stop me when they should stop me. I have a really good mix of people around me that make me better every day, and thats what I want.Haaland said facing City in the Champions League with Dortmund in April 2021, when Pep Michael Carter-Williams Jersey Guardiolas side won 2-1 in each leg of the quarter-final, had been an eye-opener when it came to appreciating the teams quality.You see something on TV, and when you meet it, its completely different, Haaland said.
