Team staff discussed Haaland chopping wood in the mountains, embodying his Viking moniker like Sylvester Stallone did in the Hollywood blockbuster Rocky IV.
Haaland said this was his father's idea in a video posted on City's X account.
He stated:
"I spent the days in the mountains chopping wood. My hamstrings are tight, my back, shoulders, and arms are sore. My father made me do it; I had no choice!"
Reactions to the video:

"If Haaland needs strength training, he should consult the man who has been pocketing him, Rudiger."

"His father is a true Viking."
