Zlatan Ibrahimović asked Erling Haaland to come closer to the camera. Big mistake.
The Swede couldn’t believe what he was seeing and blurted out, without a filter, what we were all thinking: “What the hell have you done? Did you lose a bet or what?, block me and delete my number”.
He said that not even his own wife would be spared from thinking that Erling had lost his mind with such a drastic change of look, now without his characteristic mane.
But Zlatan didn’t stop at the teasing. Amid laughter, he threw out the question that sums up all the Nordic humor: whether with that new hairstyle he would at least run faster on the pitch. Haaland, true to his direct style, replied without hesitation: “I hope so”.
