During the press conference after Manchester City’s victory against Leicester (2-0), Pep Guardiola accidentally revealed personal information regarding his star scorer, Erling Haaland.
Author of a goal during the meeting, Erling Haaland was at the heart of the discussions after Guardiola blurted out: “He’s tired, he’s played a lot of minutes. He became a father for the first time in recent days, which caused a lot of emotion. It was very exciting for him. » An unexpected statement, because the Norwegian striker, usually very discreet about his private life, had not yet made this big news official.
A secret revealed by mistake
The 24-year-old had not communicated about the happy event, although clues circulated in October when Haaland mimed a fatherly gesture during a match with Norway. His partner, Isabel Haugseng Johansen, was expecting a child, but no further details had been made public.
Despite this indiscretion from his coach, Haaland responded on the pitch, proving once again that he remains one of the best strikers in the Premier League, with 14 goals in 19 games this season.
