PUERTO RICO: Logan Paul playfully grilled Erling Haaland about his soccer skills compared to his dad on his podcast.
In a lighthearted exchange on 'Impaulsive,' WWE superstar, boxer, and social media influencer Logan Paul didn't hold back from asking Erling Haaland about his soccer prowess in comparison to his father, Alfie Haaland, a former midfielder and defender with a notable career.
Erling Haaland's ambition to surpass his father's legacy
The Manchester City star, Erling Haaland, appeared on the show and faced a barrage of questions, but it was Logan Paul's query about his dad's reaction that caught everyone's attention. Paul humorously inquired whether Alfie Haaland might be 'p*****' that his son had surpassed his own footballing achievements.
Erling Haaland opened up about his aspirations during his appearance on 'Impaulsive,' shedding light on his determination to excel in the world of soccer. He candidly shared, "I really wanted to become better than my father." Acknowledging his father's soccer legacy, Erling Haaland expressed his early commitment to pursuing a career as a professional soccer star.
He continued, "He had a legacy you have to ask him, but really ever since day one I wanted to become a professional footballer, and ever since then, I've been working on it."
Erling Haaland's hilarious take on boxing match with Kylian Mbappe
On the 'Impaulsive' podcast, the possibility of Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe, considered the two best soccer players globally, stepping into the boxing ring together was humorously explored. Haaland's response to this intriguing proposition was nothing short of comical.
The Norwegian striker, who is renowned for his goal-scoring prowess, reacted to the question with a hearty laugh and a dose of good humor. Haaland quipped, "No, not really. I am not really into fighting, to be honest." He then made it abundantly clear that his focus is on promoting peace and love rather than engaging in combat sports.
Haaland's soccer achievements were also highlighted, with a mention of his incredible 52-goal season that contributed to Manchester City's European treble win. As the 2023-24 season began, he continued to impress with three goals in five matches.
On the other hand, Kylian Mbappe, the Paris Saint-Germain star, has notched three goals in just two matches this season. While their on-pitch rivalry remains thrilling, it's clear that a boxing showdown is not on the cards for these two soccer titans, as humorously confirmed by Haaland on 'Impaulsive.'
