Many noted that Erling Braut Haaland himself took the initiative to change costumes with Stuart Dallas. But the 20-year-old denies it has anything to do with his known Leeds sympathies.
It was just after Norway’s impressive 5-1 win over Northern Ireland on Monday night that the situation arose.
Television cameras, following the two-goal scorer and field giant Haaland, intercepted a situation in which the Norwegian apparently initiated a change of stick with Leeds’ Northern Irish player Dallas.
Don’t buy Haaland’s explanation
Although the stunt set the Leeds community on fire on social media, Haaland refuses to admit it had anything to do with the relationship with the newly promoted Premier League club.
– I think he was a good player, and that was it, Haaland said in an interview with licensee TV 2 after the game.
– Didn’t it have anything to do with him playing for Leeds?
– No, I think he was the best player here today, therefore, Haaland replied with a smile.
However, not many people buy that explanation.
On social media, there’s a flood of messages linking the costume change to Haaland’s obvious feelings for Daddy Alfie’s old club.

Svend Anders Karlsen-Moum, who sits on the board of directors of the Norwegian fan club Leeds, believes Haaland’s action speaks louder than the young man’s words.
– Dallas is a good player, but I think Erling has probably learned to be a diplomat when he talks about Leeds. He’s a professional boy. But he doesn’t have to say much for us, we understand what he means, Karlsen-Moum laughs when Nettavisen hits the spot on Tuesday.
– There is a great response in the Leeds community on social media after this here. What can you say about Haaland’s status with Leeds fans now?
– Leeds fans have long realized that he has a history at Leeds, he was born there and has a father who has played for the club and is something of a cult hero. He has also stated that he dreams of winning the league with Leeds, and it won’t be much longer before he ignites a huge spark in the fans, he says.
And add:
– The costume change was a nice gesture for Leeds fans when you can’t be a Leeds player. And then we hope there is another seed to be planted for a future in Yorkshire, says Karlsen-Moum.

He joked about Haaland’s talk
The Norwegian prodigy also received a place in the combat program before Norway’s win on Monday night.
That’s exactly where Dallas was interviewed, and Leeds / Haaland quickly became a topic.
– Obviously, there is a Leeds link there, and his father played for the club. Maybe talk to him after the game to see if he’s interested in a change of scenery, Dallas joked on the wrestling show.
At the same time, he did not hide his admiration for the Norwegian super talent.
– Everyone knows who Erling is and what he has achieved in recent years. It’s been absolutely amazing, and after the transfer to Dortmund, he’s just kept going, Dallas said on the match schedule.
– The dream is to win the PL with Leeds
Several of the English newspapers, such as The Mirror and Daily Mail, have long been noted in an interview Haaland did with the local newspaper Romsdal Budstikke in February 2017.
– I want to be the best possible. The dream is to win the Premier League with Leeds, Haaland said in the interview.
Now television footage of Haaland visiting Dallas to change his suit is online.
The Norwegian super striker is also starting to be very popular outside of Norway’s borders, and this writer is unlikely to win an excavation award to establish just that.
Greetings Michu
But the fact is, there are few hotter forwards in the world right now, and when you know that Jærbuen is only 20 years old, you just have to put on sunglasses, because the future of the Norwegian team is bright.
Some may have noticed that Haaland celebrated in a certain way after his second goal in Belfast.
It was a gesture to honor a player who has been an idol for the Norwegian, Michu, who previously devastated Swansea in the Premier League. It was noticed, and after the match, the 20-year-old was greeted back.
He received the greeting from Michu: Erling Braut Haaland celebrated as Michu and received a greeting from the former soccer star after the match.

– Bad luck
On Monday the Dortmund pro got some good help from a brilliant Alexander Sørloth on top of Norway. The collaboration was so good that it is not entirely inconceivable that the Dortmund bosses had something to think about before they finally bought another striker …
Haaland was very satisfied with the collaboration at the top.
– I think it worked well. I really think I work well with all the forwards. Today was Sørloth and you saw that we both enjoyed ourselves today. Yes, it was a good game, Haaland said.
Northern Ireland manager Ian Baraclough was clearly impressed with Haaland in particular on Monday night.
– Become a usable gamer
In an interview with Sky Sports, he believes that the young Norwegian must be worth more than one billion Norwegian crowns.
– He doesn’t exactly have bad genes and has become a usable player. He’ll probably do well when he’s older, Baraclouch laughs, knowing that Haaland is already one of the best forwards in the world.
The next match for Lars Lagerbäck’s team is against Serbia on October 8, and then it is about the semi-finals in their rematch for a place in the European Championship.
– That didn’t make our chances in that game worse. If we keep everyone healthy and we take out the ones who weren’t ready now, then it can be very good, because I can’t imagine players going to that game with too high expectations or a mental barrier, said the national team coach after the match.
