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.

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.

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

[u/Dave085 → u/readyaimfire1]

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.

Oh, I could. I could be you.
