Jabarekspres.com- Erling Haaland Manchester City. Manchester City bomber Erling Haaland said he was disappointed that the Norwegian national team did not qualify for the Qatar World Cup. But he predicts that there will be four teams that will become the favorites to win the World Cup later.

“Of course, I hope to play in the World Cup, but it’s a reality now [that] I’m not there,” said Haaland told Sky Sports, Tuesday (15/11).

“But I will relax my body and mind a lot, then I will train again to be ready after the break.”

When asked to predict the winner of the World Cup, there is no surprise favorite country that Haaland mentioned.

“I think the favorites are Brazil, Argentina, France and maybe England. I can’t just name one because there are so many good teams,” said the 22-year-old player.

Noted, Haaland only appeared in six out of ten World Cup Qualification matches with Norway due to injury. However, he was able to contribute five goals before adding another six goals in six matches in the Nations League.

“The biggest thing we can do is qualify for the World Cup or Euros. Of course that is my goal with the national team. We know it is difficult, but hopefully one day I can play in the tournament.”
