The Secret of E. Haaland's Success - a Special Diet? © zumapress

Fantastically talented forward Erling Haaland, playing in the ranks of "Man City", spoke about his recipe for success.

According to the Norwegian, his impressive performances may also be influenced by a special diet.

"Other people don't eat like that, but I take care of my body. The most important thing is quality food.

People say that meat is bad. But which one? The meat you get at "McDonald's"? Or a local cow that eats grass here? I eat their hearts and livers," Haaland said.

It is said that the intensely training Haaland burns about 6,000 calories a day.

"Man City" coach Pep Guardiola also revealed a special ritual of the player's father, Alfie.

The former Manchester club footballer bakes lasagna for his son before every home game.

"The club could hire him to cook for the whole team. If that's Erling's secret to scoring, then I will definitely convince the club owner to make an offer to A. Haaland. However, I think there are more nuances," Guardiola joked.

It is said that E. Haaland also performs some unusual rituals, for example, he tries to expose his eyes to sunlight as soon as he wakes up. The player also only drinks filtered water.
