After scoring 86 goals in just 89 games in all competitions for Borussia Dortmundthe young Norwegian striker ended up at Manchester City this summer to 60 million euros keep doing what he does best: scoring goals. But it won’t be easy, because the Premier League is very different from the Bundesliga.
Adjusting to a new league and such a big club with big goals might take some time, but we all know what Erling is capable of. A few hours ago he gave an interview to Geoff Shreeves from ‘Sky Sports’, in which he talks about adapting to Pep Guardiola’s team: “We’ll see how we settle in. People can take time, but I’m not worried. It’s a footballer’s life, you have to live with it.”
They judge you every week for what you do on the pitch and you have to give your best
Since reaching the top flight, he has shown his winning mentality, of wanting to score goals, which makes him a unique player, a striker who speaks in the green: “They judge you every week for what you do on the pitch and you have to give your best. For me, as a striker, that’s something I can’t stress because if you think too much you can end up doing things you don’t want to do.”

He is a player who does not live in the past and does not take into account the goals he has scored in recent seasons: “It’s about having fun, living in the moment. People talk about what you did a year ago, but it’s the next game that counts.” He also admitted that he can continue to improve: “I can improve everything. As a young player, playing for Pep Guardiola, playing for the best club in England, I have to keep developing and improving in many areas.”
The chemistry on the pitch with the other players is something that will come, I don’t know if it will take weeks, months, but it’s something that we have to build every day at coaching.
If Manchester City is characterized by anything it is by playing a combinatorial game, at least they have players like Kevin de Bruyne or Phil Foden, which is why he believes that “The chemistry on the pitch with the other players is something that will come, I don’t know if it will take weeks, months, but it is something that we have to build every day in training.”

Delighted to make his debut against West Ham this Sunday, he says it’s “a player who is hungry for goals, who gives 100%, who wants to win every game”. Although he believes that “it won’t be easy because there’s a lot of competition and there’s a lot of rhythm in the game, that’s why it’s the best league in the world”.
I grew up in Norway watching the Premier League and Manchester City. I really want to feel the atmosphere of the stadiums and the rivalry between the supporters
His father Alf-Inge played in the Premier Leagueespecially in the team his son now plays in, and that was a reason for Erling to follow the league: “I grew up in Norway watching the Premier League and Manchester City. I can’t wait to feel the atmosphere in the stadiums and the rivalry between the fans.”
