Jens Petter Hauge reveals the advice Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland gave him before joining AC Milan
Among the friends who advised him to accept AC Milan's offer was Erling Haaland, the Norwegian star of Borussia Dortmund. Hauge said Haaland stressed patience in the process.
"Yeah, we talk a lot ... especially in the summer because I almost joined a Belgian club and we were talking," Hauge said. "Haaland agreed that maybe it was better if I turned this offer down and waited for a better one. When we spoke after that match against AC Milan, he told me: "Go for it, it will be good. Playing at AC Milan will be hard of course. You have to work on stuff with the language but I think it will be good.' And now I'm really happy with the choice".
Hauge does not hide the thrill of training and playing alongside a legend like Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Hauge said the 39-year-old "raises the bar" on the field, and And he remembers one episode in particular with Ibrahimovic off the field:
"I remember I came to the dressing room with a new hat and Zlatan was saying: 'Are you working as a pizza maker or are you playing football?' I like when people are joking! He can help me with the language because we speak almost the same language so we can talk together in another language."
