Erling Haaland

The match finished 3-2 to dortmund, the penalty at the end was dangerous. It would have been a draw if they did get the penalty.

You and your boyfriend were doing some stretches after the game when a lady approached you.

"Hey, Haaland is it okay if we ask a few questions?" the interviewer asked. "yeah sure." he replied and stretched his arm to the side.  "So, you scored 2 goals in the champions league and an all round good game, how are you feeling after that?" he paused for a moment, "well, you know, it was a very important win for us and two important goals for me. this is exactly what we hoped for. I think we are all just thankful the penalty at the end wasn't given." He stood up now.

"i also noticed that your family didn't come along with you. are you missing them at home?" he put his hands in his pockets and swung side to side. "of course! yeah... i uh.. sorry i.." he felt the tears in his eyes and practically ran away before anyone could notice.

Your eyes trailed to the interviewer, you smiled politely "sorry about that, i'll go check on him." you jogged off the pitch and went inside to try find Erling.

"Erl?!" you paced down the corridor and round the corner to find him sitting on the floor against the wall. and then you noticed he was sobbing. "oh, baby what's the matter?" you sat down next to him with your legs crossed and held his face in your hands.
"i want to go home. to my family." he replied through tears. you wiped the tears streaming down his cheeks, "okay well i'm sure we can go see them soon once the season ends." he shook his head almost violently. "no i need to go see them now. please let me see them!" you pulled him into a hug, he leaned his head on your shoulder. "okay. okay. i'll sort something out with the manager, eh?" he nodded and smiled.

you get up from where you are sitting and erling waits by the car while you make a call to the manager.
"Hello? .... yeah it is, hi! .... well i was just wondering if we can go see our family, you know, it would really help his playing because he really misses them. .... no, only a few days, a week maybe? .... really? oh yeah thats great, thankyou i will let him know! .... okay, bye bye."
you walk out to your car where your boyfriend was standing, he could already tell by your face that something good happened.

"guess what." you said walking up to him, "what?" he put his arms around your waist. "boss said you can have a week off." his face lit up, "really?!"
"yeah, come on we need to go pack for our flight."

we rushed through the airport, luggage in hand. we landed a few minutes ago and erling almost ran through the airport to greet his parents.

we finally saw them, he dropped his luggage on the floor and ran over to them. he gave them a massive hug each, and you were pretty sure he was crying with joy.

he came over to me and gave me the biggest hug, "thankyou so much. i love you." he whispered. "it was no problem, come on they are waiting for us." he picked up his bags as you walked over to them.

"Hey! how are you?" his mother asked with a broad smile on her face. "i'm great! its good to see you again, we missed you so much." she engulfed me in a hug which was followed by a hug from his father.

all four of us walked out to the car. we put our bags in the back and got in the car.

"we booked a table the fanciest restaurant in town for a family meal." erlings father announced. "the one i went to as a kid?" he nodded. "and your brother and sister are coming too."

"what a family reunion, eh?"
