Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has revealed that the number one fear he has in life was the fear of dying.
Haaland who is Man City’s top scorer said he is practically haunted by the fear of death and no day passes without him thinking of what would happen to him when he dies.
“Sometimes I’m scared when I lie in bed. I think, ‘What will happen when I die? Will I go to heaven or hell? Where will I go?'”
Haaland also spoke about the death of his close family friend, Ivar Iga, who passed away last year, stressing that his passing left a huge void in his life.
He added that Iga’s final advice still haunts him, urging him to enjoy life and give his best on the pitch despite his loss: “He told me to enjoy life to the fullest and to continue to shine even without him.”
Haaland concluded by emphasizing that he seeks to apply this advice in his daily life and football career, drawing strength from the memory of his late friend.
