Manchester City forward Haaland (Helan) recently opened his own YouTube channel, and the first episode of the video program shared his daily life.

This video includes scenes of Erling Haaland training in the gym at home, training on the court, cooking with his girlfriend at home, and going out to buy daily necessities. The striker also sat down and chatted and laughed in front of the camera with his girlfriend Isabelle while they ate.

Haaland’s girlfriend, 22-year-old Isabelle, is also a professional football player. She and Haaland met during the youth training of Norwegian team Benny. Regarding his girlfriend's evaluation as a professional women's football player, Haaland said: "She is an excellent player, the female version of Ryan Giggs, who plays as a left winger and can break through with the ball."

Unexpectedly, these words actually triggered Isabelle's sarcasm: "To be honest, my dribbling skills are not the best. I am a speed type, a bit like you, but I don't think your dribbling skills are good, but you are very fast"!

They also revealed the plot of how they met each other in the past, including that Isabelle actually fell in love with a friend of Harland's first: "But after meeting you, I began to change my view. I do think it was fate that brought us together, but you never think so."
