Wolves man in strange defence of international teammate – Admits he wants to be just like him
Today at 11:35 AM
Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Jorgen Strand Larsen has moved to defend Erling Haaland's use of private flights, admitting he hopes to be so good one day he needs them too.
The striker has been talking to Dagbladet about the issue and how he is completely unconcerned by the matter.
Haaland has been facing criticism this week for what some have perceived to be an extensive use of private flights to travel around Europe.
This week the Manchester City star used such a flight alongside fellow Norwegians and Premier League players Sander Berge to fly themselves and their girlfriends back to Norway for the international break.
That's led to debate and criticism in his homeland, where those who are against such flights because of the carbon emissions they produce, have called out the Manchester City star.
It's sparked a fierce debate into which Wolves striker Strand Larsen has now been pulled this week.
Despite now being a Premier League player, the 24-year-old is still able to move around in relative anonymity, but he admits he wants that to change in future, presumably by shining for Wolves.
"To many, it sounds completely sick," he said.
"But you can’t live a life where you can’t go anywhere freely. You have to deal with it yourself. Erling needs all the time he can to relax.
"Yes, I can. And I really enjoy that (going for coffee in Wolverhampton). But my goal must be to become so good that I have to have it (private flights) too. No, I have a very good time at airports."
