Nations League: Haaland Struggling For Motivation Ahead Of Denmark Clash

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has admitted he is struggling to find motivation ahead of Norway’s upcoming clash against Denmark, blaming a gruelling run of fixtures that has left him drained of energy.

Speaking immediately after Norway’s 3-1 victory over Wales in Oslo on Saturday, the Norwegian international opened up about the toll of his workload ahead of Tuesday’s final group-stage encounter at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen.

“Right now, I can’t quite find the motivation for the match against Denmark at Parken. But it’s going to be a good game,” Haaland said.

Once international duty concludes, the forward faces a demanding streak of high-stakes fixtures with Manchester City across domestic and European competitions.

“There are a lot of good games. We face ‘Sandy’—Sander Berge—and Fulham at 12:30 on Saturday, then I face Napoli on Tuesday, and then Arsenal on Saturday. It’s an absolutely relentless schedule,” he added.
