The photo comparing Haaland’s body when he first arrived at Man City and after winning the treble caused a fever on social networks. One fan commented: “This guy is a monster”. Another account shared: “Maybe it’s because Haaland exercises and eats properly”.
Before coming to Man City, Haaland surprised public opinion by gaining 12 kg of muscle within 1 year. Sharing with Online Knowledge , commentator Shebby Singh commented: “Haaland has better muscles and technique than Zlatan Ibrahimovic. This striker is also not like Cristiano Ronaldo, who depends a lot on speed in his play. “.
Man City is very careful in taking care of the health of Haaland and other players. Pep Guardiola sent Mario Pafundi, the team’s fitness coach, to closely follow Haaland even when the striker joined the team. From an injury-ravaged player in a Dortmund shirt, the striker born in 2000 maintained impressive physical condition in the 2022/23 season and helped Man City win a historic treble.
Haaland also focuses on diet. According to AS , the 22-year-old striker consumes about 6,000 calories a day to keep his body healthy. Haaland’s favorite dishes include beef heart and liver. The former Dortmund star eats 6 meals a day. He mainly drinks filtered water, avoids sugary foods and frozen foods, and only eats fresh foods.
“I have never seen a player eat as much as Haaland,” said Joshua King, Haaland’s teammate in the Norwegian team.
Haaland scored 12 goals in the 2022/23 Champions League and won the title of top scorer in the tournament, far ahead of second place Mohamed Salah (8 goals). In the Premier League, he is also the leader in the goalscoring race with 36 goals.
