Erling Haaland: "I hate offside"

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland spoke about why he rarely finds himself offside. "This is not my first season, and I am almost never offside.

This habit started when I was 13 years old — that's when I began to pay attention to avoiding offside. Since joining Manchester City, I have been caught offside 18 times.

Eighteen times in three and a half years — I think this is a normal amount. It is a part of my game.

I hate being offside. Now, in the VAR era, if you are caught offside, there are no chances left.

But VAR helps me because offside situations are determined precisely. I have been working on this since I was 13," Haaland told journalists.

This week, on Wednesday, November 5, Manchester City will host Borussia in a Champions League match.
