Norwegian top scorer Erling Haaland seeks to take a step forward by moving to Manchester City, and is looking to lead the team to achieve more titles, especially the Champions League.

Halland, 21, grabbed attention with his strong performance and prolific goals, as he scored 135 goals in 183 games since the beginning of his professional career, and his physique was one of the elements of his strength that gave him an advantage in his struggles with defenders of rival teams.

To maintain his fitness, Halland (194 centimeters and 88 kilograms) is keen to follow a special diet that includes eating chicken and pasta without using oil or salt in its preparation, and he also eats some types of fish with fresh vegetables.

According to the British newspaper "The Sun", the Norwegian scorer is keen to drink water permanently, refrain from drinks that contain sugar, do not eat any frozen foods and are limited to fresh products only.

Haaland's professionalism

Halland's father revealed in a previous interview that his son is keen to follow the example of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, who continues to shine at the high level without being significantly affected by his age, thanks to his strict diet.

The father - who was a player in Manchester City - indicated that Haaland is better than him in a professional sense and made great sacrifices in order to achieve his dream.

However, Haaland's diet does not stand up to some unhealthy foods, as he indicated in previous statements that his favorite dish is the kebab pizza, which he makes sure to eat every time he returns to his city of Breen, Norway, and said, "This does not mean that I eat it all the time. I eat it. Twice a year when I'm in my hometown, but it's still my favorite food."

Haaland also has a special preference for some of the Chinese dishes he has eaten at a Chinese restaurant in his city since he was a little boy.

calorie counter

According to the newspaper "Sun", Haaland's program includes a continuous measurement of the amount of calories he consumes daily, and she indicated that he has a private chef who helps him prepare his meals, which guarantees him getting 4 thousand calories per day.

This huge amount of calories does not shock his fellow professional players, as the Norwegian Josh King once compared Halland to a "bear" because of his open appetite and craving for food.

"I've never seen a person eat as much as Haaland. He eats like a bear," said Watford striker King, in previous statements.

Halland will face a new challenge when he plays under the leadership of Spanish coach Pep Guardiola, who is known for his strictness when it comes to diet, and the Norwegian top scorer may have to temporarily give up his passion for pizza due to Guardiola's ban on his players and his ban on eating it among another list of prohibitions.
