The Manchester City star addressed the media following his goal-scoring exploits against Everton. Haaland showered praise for Kevin De Bruyne during the interview with the striker, stating, “With Kevin De Bruyne, I know I’m going to get it [the pass] perfect. Nothing bad about the others, but that’s a small difference. You know the ball is going to go.”

He then added, “It’s mostly natural… I saw for many years where he plays the ball, and he hasn’t changed for the last five years where he plays the ball. For me, it was to come in and finish those actions.”
