The City wonderkid is not interested in touching the ball many times and has promised he won't change his style which is a sign of trouble for Premier League teams.

Manchester City forward Erling Haaland has revealed that he has an interesting dream to fulfil.

Haaland has sent a clear message to those who criticise him for not touching the ball enough on the pitch.

The 22-year-old has a dream and it's not good news at all for Premier League teams and those who want strikers to have more touches on the ball

According to the Norwegian star, he's not particularly interested in having so many touches and wants to score as many goals as possible with fewer touches.

Speaking after his latest heroics in the Champions League on Wednesday night, the City striker said;

"It was easy to stay focused," he said. "People may be talk about that I don't touch the ball enough, this and that, but I don't care about this "

"I know what I am going to do and what I have to do and this is exactly what I did."

Haaland's "special" goal inspires comeback win

Haaland was the hero on Wednesday night as English Champions, Manchester City, came from behind to beat Borussia Dortmund.

Erling Haaland just wants to put the ball at the back of the net.

England international, Jude Bellingham, gave the away side the lead at the Etihad just before the hour mark.

But two goals in the space of four late minutes saw the Cityzens turn things around to seal a 2-1 win.

Haaland netted the decisive winner, a ridiculous goal off a Joaa Cancelo pass six minutes from time as he came to haunt his former side.

Speaking on the goal, the Norwegian was happy to score  the 'special' for the club after several tries.

"It was a special goal," he added. "I scored a bit of the same for Dortmund against Wolfsburg, I remember."

"I've been trying this for last games I played for City and finally it worked, so, yeah. It was a nice goal."
