Haaland spoke about his new look after scoring the winning goal in City\u2019s 1-0 Premier League victory over Coventry City, a win that helped his side maintain their unbeaten streak in the ongoing season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Norway international has been sporting a much shorter hairstyle since the start of the season. Asked about the change, Haaland said he was enjoying the new look, though he missed his trademark long hair.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt\u2019s much easier. I think it was time for a change. I like it. Of course, I miss my long hair, but it was time for a change and, so far, I\u2019ve enjoyed it. It will grow back and be long again, hopefully,\u201d Haaland told ESPN Brazil as quoted by Goal.com.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The striker also looked back on Norway\u2019s memorable World Cup victory over Brazil, in which he scored twice. Haaland said the win was especially meaningful for Norway because of the history between the two teams.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt was a special game for Norway, because the last time we played in the World Cup we also played against Brazil, and Norway is the only team Brazil has never beaten. So it was special,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cOf course it was a special game. We won; it was amazing. It was the best match we\u2019ve played in our history because of the way we controlled the game. It\u2019s special to play against a great nation, the country of football, where everyone is passionate about the sport. It was special; it\u2019s a great memory, and, once again, sorry. Sorry for the defeat, but that\u2019s football,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Haaland then turned his attention to Manchester City\u2019s revamped squad and backed the club\u2019s new signings to settle quickly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
City have brought in several players over the summer as they look to build a strong squad for the new season. Haaland believes players such as Enzo Fernandez and Elliot Anderson already understand the demands of top-level football.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cTime will tell. We have a lot of new players who know the level. Enzo Fernandez knows what it takes to win titles, was already playing in the Premier League, and slotted straight into the team,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

City will now face a busy period, with European action, followed by a Manchester derby and a Carabao Cup fixture against Norwich City.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
