Vinícius Correa is 6 years old, lives in Brazil, and for a long time recess was a hostile place. His classmates made fun of his long hair and called him “little girl”. Until one friend noticed something. He looked a lot like Erling Haaland.
From that day on, everything changed. Vini stopped hiding and started proudly repeating: ‘I’m Haaland, I’m strong.’ He never missed a match by the Norwegian, celebrated like him, and even asked for a birthday party with his idol’s face painted on the walls.
The story traveled so far that it reached Manchester City. And that’s when the unexpected happened. Haaland himself sent him a birthday message. ‘Long hair is beautiful. Keep it that way and don’t pay attention to what they say,’ he told him. Today, when they ask him if he wants to cut his hair, Vini says no. He is proud to be ‘Mini Haaland’ 🦁💛
Upon learning that a young Brazilian fan is getting bullied because of his long hairs, Erling Haaland recorded a birthday message for him, praising the hairstyle and telling him to ignore the negativity.
