After another prolific season on a personal level, with 38 goals in 45 games in all competitions, Erling Haaland trained hard to stay in shape during his summer holidays. The 23-year-old forward, who did not play in Euro 2024 as Norway did not qualify, went to relax in the mountains, with meditation and chopping wood to work on his strength, under the advice of his father Alf-Inge Håland. My father forced me, I had no choice ” he explained, the day he returned to action with Manchester City.
For their pre-season preparation, the Skyblues have travelled to the United States, as they did last year. Pep Guardiola and his players will face Celtic Glasgow (July 23), AC Milan (July 27), as well as FC Barcelona (July 30) and Chelsea (August 3). The first official match of the Cityzens will be against Manchester United, during the Community Shield, at Wembley Stadium (London), on August 10.
