Haaland: Many Doubted My Goal Scoring Prowess After Community Shield Loss

Erling Haaland has insisted that there were doubt on his ability to score goals after his poor performance against Liverpool in the Community Shield.

Many questioned Haaland after a disappointing performance in the Community Shield defeat to Liverpool.

He told ViaPlay, “To be honest, I think it was good that I missed those chances, to be reminded that you can’t be 99 percent. One must be 100 percent. I think it was a good thing, so I was even more sharp in the week after.

“No, I didn’t think about the number of goals. I was the biggest flop after I missed open goal against Liverpool, and yes … that’s no problem.

“People who said I wasn’t going to do it might say it to get attention, but what can you do? You can’t care what people think and say, because you can’t control it.

“I knew I would fit in and I’m not surprised.”
