None other than Erling Haaland is becoming a real cannon in Man City’s attack. The Norwegian striker scored 52 goals in all competitions for Pep Guardiola’s team last season. This season, Haaland’s total number of goals in all competitions is 29. Even more impressive is that Haaland leads the list of top scorers in the Premier League 2023/24 with 18 goals scored for Man City.

According to information published in a recent issue of The Sun, Haaland’s desire to score turned out to be inspired by his favorite Italian restaurant. More specifically, Man City’s 23-year-old scoring machine regularly enjoys special pasta, ice cream and mushroom dishes at Vero Moderno restaurant in Salford. In fact, Haaland has eaten at this restaurant almost once a week for the past two years.

Haaland’s meals are personally cooked by Beppe Piccoli, owner of Vero Moderno restaurant. According to Beppe, the first time he served Haaland was before the 2022/23 season started. “At that time, I jokingly said, “When you score a hat-trick, thank Beppe and Vero Moderno.” Then Haaland came back and asked for the same pasta and I told him, “You didn’t thank me last time. Let’s do it when we score another hat-trick. That’s how it all started for us to develop a friendship relationship. To this day, we still joke about “hat-trick noodles,” Beppe recalls.

Even Haaland’s lucky dish seems to have inspired his teammates at Man City. The proof is that Jack Grealish, Ruben Dias and Rodri have also visited Vero Moderno restaurant many times to dine. Even coach Pep Guardiola, who owns a majestic restaurant in Manchester, also stopped by Vero Moderno restaurant to enjoy the dishes that his students raved about.

In addition, Italian doctor Max Sala in the medical department of Man City Club is also a regular customer. “Sala always goes with colleagues in the medical department at Man City. They are always looking for authentic Italian food in Manchester. They are all very kind and generous customers. Sala and his colleagues just want to be treated like normal customers,” Beppe added.

In fact, studies show that noodles are healthy because they are made from grains. At the same time, they also provide a rich source of energy for the body and some important nutrients such as vitamin B and filling fiber. This is not the first time Haaland has revealed the diet that has helped him become one of the most feared strikers in the world.

Haaland himself surprised everyone when he revealed that he likes to eat animal hearts and livers on his daily menu. Haaland also admitted to drinking water through a complex filtration system, and also enjoys taking ice baths and wearing blue light filtering glasses to improve sleep, in addition to the 6,000 calorie/day diet that this striker always follows. maintain.
