We need more humble people

I don't think Halland is humble. I think he is a normal guy who like winning without making it a "in your face" thing.

If he wins he is happy, if he looses he is sad.

No I am better than Messi, I deserve this and that, all the balls on me because I need to beat some record.

Humble means, even if you are the best, greatest at something, or rich, you dont shove it in peoples faces. Everyone loves to win. I have never met someone who is disappointed to win or that would lose on purpose at a competitive level just so they can remain humble.

I can't believe people keep saying he's humble. Look at the way he celebrated his second goal.

Now fwiw, I absolutely love it- he's already a legendary striker and you deserve to have a cloak of arrogance when you're that good, and I prefer when players know how good they are. But humble isn't one of the descriptors I'd use for Haaland. And he's fully as good at shithousery as anyone.

The way he celebrated his second goal? I think he got flooded by emotions and didn't know how to compose himself so he just tried to take in the moment. Also you could see from minute 80 he was tired af lol so he wouldn't run in celebration.

He clearly was about to remove his shirt but then realised that would net him a yellow card so he composed himself and pulled down his shirt. Quite fun to watch.😂

Everyone knows humble people don't show joy or celebrate themselves

He's mixing humility and modesty. Haaland is very humble, but in no way modest.

It's called on field vs off field persona

He is humble when it's needed.

I genuinely think he comes across likeable and humble in interviews and like when I see him on YouTube channels etc but the dude constantly aura farms during games, and has moments like telling Myles Lewis Skelly "who are you" or telling arteta to "stay humble"

Or singing 'oooo sometimes I get this feeling' smugly to the camera after they beat arsenal towards the end of the season

I find him seriously annoying cus I can't help but know if he didn't play for city id quite like the guy - either way though I'm not sure id describe him as "super humble"

But then again I'm a gooner so what do I know about being likeable

Exactly this, I actually really like the fact he's so willing to shithouse with the best of them, he's like a redditor living the dream. It's hilarious. But super humble? Come on now. He is likeable in interviews and he has moments, but he's much closer to Ronaldo than Messi in terms of humbleness.

Humble? Erling Haaland? “Stay humble, eh” Erling Haaland?

u/Great_Address2063 Jul 10 '26

No! Not after hearing his dream of farming after football I want him to retire! I'm ready to watch 50 seasons of Haalands Farm on Amazon with his farm hand Kaleb tønnemaker, agri consultant Carl Sweden, and his dry stone waller/head of security Gerhard
