Erling Haaland tells his haters to bring it on… as the Premier League’s Golden Boot winner claims their criticism only inspires him to keep scoring

Erling Haaland wants more criticism of his form next season to push him towards a third consecutive Golden Boot.

Haaland, who scored 27 goals as Manchester City claimed a record fourth consecutive Premier League title, has been the subject of intense debate this year.

Roy Keane’s incendiary assessment of the Norwegian’s overall game, comparing Haaland to a ‘League Two player’, was the harshest criticism and reignited an ongoing dispute between the couple’s families.

But Haaland has ignored any comments about his play and is now aiming to become the first man since Thierry Henry in 2006 to finish three consecutive seasons as the division’s top scorer.

“If this is a bad season, then I’ll accept it,” said Haaland, who then sarcastically added: “It was a bad season, plain and simple; the only way is up.” The more enemies and critics, the better.”

Haaland and the City team partied at Greek restaurant Fenix ​​until 5am yesterday and will return to training tomorrow ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup final against rivals Manchester United.

City could become the first club to win back-to-back domestic doubles at Wembley, and Rodri admits the magnitude of their achievements has yet to sink in.

“I don’t think we are aware of what we have done and how difficult it is to make four in a row,” said the midfielder. “We have changed history, I think we will be remembered forever.”
