Erling Haaland, the Norwegian striker born in Leeds in 2000, has a very particular way of switching off. In an interview with Sky Sports at the end of January 2022, he said that his favorite way to relax has nothing to do with cars or parties: it is going to a farm, getting on a tractor, and feeding the cows.
It is not a passing whim. Haaland grew up in Bryne, an agricultural town in Norway, and those rural roots never left him. In later interviews, between 2022 and 2023, he repeated the same idea: when he retires, he wants to have his own small farm, with a couple of cows and goats, far from the noise of the stadiums.
While he breaks goal-scoring records and signs multimillion-dollar contracts, he already knows clearly where he wants to be when all this is over. Sometimes the most real disconnection is the simplest one. 🐄🚜
