Erling Braut Haaland (20) got off to a sensational start to the Bundesliga season when he scored two goals against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday.
Borussia Dortmund won 3-0, and especially the second goal created wild excitement. Haaland sprinted from 16 meters to 16 meters, before he got a perfect pass from Jadon Sancho and knocked the ball into goal.
Right after the match, he received an incredible message:
– Someone came up to me and said that I had broken the world record in 100 meters. At first I believed in it, the Norwegian says in an interview with local newspapers Ruhr news.
See the score below.
– During the sprint, I felt that it went very fast. I did athletics as a child. It paid off now.
For the record: No world record was set. It still has Usain Bolt – set in 2009 – and sounds at 9.58.
Ruhr Nachrichten has today published a longer interview with the Norwegian. This is so experienced, that sports director Sascha Klaverkamp has come out with a message to readers.

Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland is known for his short answers. That is not the case in this large and exclusive interview with Ruhr Nachrichten. For you, we have an XXL version, Klaverkamp writes in an email to readers.
About the short answers, for which he has become famous, Haaland answers:
– If you ask me what the weather is like, I answer “good”. It’s as simple as that. It all depends on the questions, regardless of the language.
In just one year, Haaland has become known as a target machine worldwide. Even Real Madrid – the giant from the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu – should be very interested.
In the last two international matches against Austria and Northern Ireland, he also proved to be a goal scorer for Norway.
In the interview, he is confronted with a statement from Martin Ødegaard, that he remembers every single goal he has scored.
– To check your memory: In the first match for Borussia Dortmund you won 5-3 over Augsburg (Haaland scored three times). Who gave you the goal-scoring passes?
– They came from Jadon Sancho, Thorgan Hazard and Marco Reus.

– I talked to dad and Erling, said Sørloth.

In other words, there are now two potential top scorers in the Bundesliga with a Norwegian passport.
– Now they are two! Sørloth does as Haaland does and wants to conquer Germany, Dagbladet’s paper newspaper writes today.
Sørloth scored 33 goals for Trabzonspor in Turkey last season. After the decline in Crystal Palace, he has something to prove in a big league again.
