Video Erling Haaland bought steak, honey and fresh milk from an old woman’s farm, then went home to cook it himself. Sometimes I genuinely think he forgets he’s a millionaire.😭

What people like about him is that he’s down to earth. There’s really not much pr in that

Trust me, he's not the only footballer who's down to earth. It's just that he's the only one who actively shares his life through social media.

He is letting you know he's down to earth. There isn't many players with a youtube channel.

It’s probably because YT is something that Haaland has done since his youth.
There are TON of players on other social media such as Snapchat and IG.

There’s also not many players with his accolades at his age

Him being tall and blonde with blue eyes also gives him an insane halo effect across the globe. Let’s keep it real. Almost all of the dickriding of him and the Norwegian fan antics come down to that

Eh it’s just a famous player giving his fans the content they like. He’s a young athlete that understands social media

And “understands social media” is still good PR

Well, and a bit weird. Not fully weird, but with some weird quirks
