New season, new trim

The change comes just ahead of the new Premier League season. Haaland shared a video on social media with the caption "New season, new trim," showcasing his significantly shorter hairstyle. The post quickly garnered a wide range of reactions from fans, with many expressing disbelief and surprise, while others offered positive feedback.

“

But I was very busy, so I didn't do it. Now the new season is starting, so it's time for a new start.

Haaland, who gained immense popularity after his performance in the recent World Cup, stated in a YouTube vlog that he had considered the haircut after the tournament but was too busy. He felt the start of a new season was the perfect time for a fresh beginning.

“

What did you do? Oh my god. What the hell is this? Did you lose a bet or what? Oh my god, block me and delete my number. My wife says you are crazy.

His decision prompted a humorous exchange with fellow footballer Zlatan Ibrahimović. Ibrahimović, known for his own distinctive hairstyles, expressed shock, jokingly questioning if Haaland had lost a bet and advising him to block his number. Haaland, however, responded with a smile, expressing hope that the new look might make him faster.

I will be honest with you, I am always honest. Will you be faster now or what?
