Haaland's Haircut: Man City Star Chops Off His Locks for the New Season
- Manchester City striker Erling Haaland debuted a 'military-style buzz-cut' before today's Premier League season opener against Bournemouth at the Etihad. The Norway star's iconic long hair is gone.
- Before the haircut, Haaland ignored advice from Sweden forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic to 'never cut your hair because the strength is in the hair,' referencing the Bible's Samson. The striker's flowing blond hair had defined his Viking image.
- On his YouTube channel, Haaland explained, 'The season starts now so it's time to get a fresh start.' He had considered the trim after the World Cup but decided to act now.
- Grealish joked about the new look, saying 'You look about 10 years old.' Manager Guardiola laughed, adding 'No way, you are lucky you have hair.'
- Against Bournemouth today, Haaland hopes to mark his new appearance with a goal. The striker vowed to celebrate by rubbing his newly-shaved head if he scores a header.
