Wolfsburg midfielder Maximilian Arnold reacted very sourly to a reporter’s questions about BVB striker Erling Haaland.
After 1: 3 defeat of Wolves against Borussia Dortmund the reporter asked Arnold to what extent the substitution of Haaland, who had come back against the Wolves for the first time in more than a month and had a hip flexor injury and immediately scored the 3: 1, had an impact on the game.
“I honestly don’t give a shit,” said Arnold angrily. The reporter probed again, talking about Haaland’s “incredible” physique and a duel that Arnold had with the Norwegian.
Arnold hesitated, gave a short ironic laugh and asked: “Did he get the ball?” When the reporter said no, Arnold added: “Exactly. You are welcome to continue talking to Haaland if you like, but I don’t give a shit whether a Haaland comes in or not.”
Haaland came into play against Wolves and Arnold in the 73rd minute for Donyell Malen and then scored 3-1 straight away broken two Bundesliga records. With only 50 games that he needed for his 50 Bundesliga goals, he is the fastest who has ever made it to this mark – and also the youngest at 21 years and 293 days.
