i will be back with the full news at eight. i will be back with the full news at eight. now on bbc news — haaland: made in norway. describe erling haaland in one word? �*monster�*. i'll give you two words — 'hard working'. he's tall, he's . strong, he's fast. 'the big viking', as i call him. - it's surreal that one of the most famous footballers in the world has come out of this little place! a childlike erling is spotted from the first kick on the ball, in fact. every time erling changes club, this town changes colour. - fantastic guy, everyone liked him. he knew and we knew that he had a lot more in store for the future.

when i was young, i wanted to become the best in the world. dreams do come true. my name is andreas vollsund. i'm mayor of time kommune. bryne is the big city in this community. bryne is a small place, but a warm place, a place where everyone knows each other. the people in bryne, in time kommune, in the jaeren, as we call it here, is, yeah, friendly people, but working, hard—working people. bryne is the biggest place in an area called jaeren, which is a very agriculture—heavy place, there's a lot of farms. right outside of the city, you can see green grass everywhere, so we're very proud that we have so many

good, hard—working farmers. we can get the best food on the table and be as strong as erling! only 12,000 lives here. people quite friendly, but quiet. we won't use ten words i or if one word is sufficient, or even a meaningful pause. you can see that in erling. he doesn't speak long sentences, and that's normal here. growing up in bryne is very much about football. it's basically been the one thing that this town is all about. the football team bryne were in the top divisionl for a very long time, - they finished second twice in the '805, they won the cup in 1987. - it's always been a place that people around norway- will have known about.

this area is actually the place in norway with the least snow, so the best teams in the country used to come here in march to play on grass. this was before we got artificial grass of course. erling was born in leeds, came with his family in bryne in 2004, started to play in a team when he was five or six years old. he was very small, but when he was about 12, 13, he grew very fast. the thing about erling haaland is i think you have to start- with the parents, i with the genetics. because we talk about his father a lot, of course, i alfie haaland, but we don't talk enough about erling i haaland's mother, who was, at youth level, at one point, | the national champion in heptathlon. - his grandmother's brother on the mother's side - is gabriel hoyland, - who is the record appearance holder of bryne football club.

so he was born into a real sporting family with just l incredible pedigree on all sides. - he's a really important guy in my life, he's my father and he's also a really good friend of me. wejoke a lot, we have a lot of fun. i've got a good relationship with him and he supports me a lot, and a really important guy in my life. my name is alf ingve berntsen. i've been coaching football

for many, many years, and some of the years, i was coaching erling, and i think that's why you're here! the first time i coached erling, he wasjust eight years old. he began to train together with one—year—older boys, in a big group of 40 players. a child like erling, when you're that quality, you're spotted from the first kick on the ball, in fact. even at a very young age, erling had very good, - very high standard of coaching, which is a little bit unusual, - because in norway, at that young an age, very often, l the coaching will be - done almost by parents on a volunteer basis. erling happened to be part of a year who had a very. qualified coach- looking after them.

for us, it was all about to develop the human being first, and after that, the football. we had three rules — be on time, do your best, and behave. in a small place like bryne,i the role of the football club is to keep people active, to be a social place - for the kids. it's not necessarily. like a meat grinder, to get the most talented footballer out there. - so the emphasis is on things like how to behave and be i a good teammate. this is the challenge of a club like bryne is that it's a very. small place, so the football club isn't just for the kids . who are enormously talented and are going somewhere, i it's also just for the kidsj who want to stay active. the challenge for the coaches is always how can you includej everyone while also challenging the very best and not separate i them from their mates? erling was gentle, nice, funny, he always scored a lot,

he smiled a lot, he trained a lot, but he was one of the 40, so he was treated the same way as the other 40. he and his friends played three, four, five hours every saturday, every sunday. they get a lot of time playing, they kept the tempo high, it was important for them to win, so even though they weren't thinking that this is training, i think it was probably the best training they could get. i played at bryne since 2014, i was lucky enough to play with erling before he went up to the sky. fantastic guy, everyone liked him. he had a bit of pace, i but he was quite thin, and so he would have gottenl knocked around by defenders quite a lot! he was always smart. he knew the right areas to go, he timed his runs. because he didn't have his strength, he managed still to compete and succeed because of his smartness to his play, he could read where to go.

he had technique, the technical and the mentality, so the only thing that was missing was a bit of the physics, and we knew, in four, five years, this will explode. you saw the potential of the guy. i was teacher to erling. he was a lovely, funny guy, and he told me, i "oh, no, school is noti so important," no, no, he's going to be i a football player. he's not shy in the locker room, he cracksjokes and he puts himself out there, basically. you probably saw that song or rap video of him on youtube — there was a lot of commotions and jokes about that. singing. but for me, it's about having fun. cos if i'm having fun, i want to do more of it, exactly how i was with football, when i went, played with my friends, it was really fun. i wanted to do it again,

and then when — it became a natural thing and i wanted to train more, i wanted to become better, i wanted to become better than others. so for me, it's about really having fun. i knew about him, his dad was pretty well known, i so i knew about the player. i remember him stepping into practice with us, - in 15, he wasn't shy. i remember him coming in there, almost like he was the captain of the team sometimes, and he was, like, "how are you doing?" you were not used to that when 15 years old came in there. they were shy, but he was not like that. i've never seen it before, never seen it after, so maybe next time i'm gonna write on the contract if i see someone with the same mentality. it wasn't as if he was hitting the top corner all the time in training. in one of his first training sessions with the senior team, he missed a big chance and got

a telling off from one of the big boys. and you're then expecting him to maybe be a little bit — maybe a bit shaken by that, be a little bit timid maybe, you know, play a little bit within himself for a least a couple of minutes afterwards. but the next time he got the ball, he tried to dribble past one of the best defenders on the team and he was just completely not bothered by any of that. and that stood out at the time as a sign that maybe there is something different about this guy. he had the grit, you could see it in the eyes. when we lost, you could see immediately on erling's face, and other players, and i think that was a good thing. i don't want them to smile if they lose, but they have to behave, respect for opponent and try even harder next time not to lose. erling was confident from the young age when in classroom, yes, and you can see him now, the confidence on the football pitch. you know then going to be

a football player and now, you know, erling is the best in the world. i think his mindset is brilliant. i try to never overthink. for me, it's about kind of taking the confidence from the last game no matter how it went. if you didn't score, you take this confidence with you that, ok, i didn't score at the last game, it's more likely i'm going to score next game. when you think too much, it's not a good thing. ijust try to go in the game and try to make the team as good as possible, and if the team plays good, as a striker, i will get chances, and then when i get chances, normally i score. to me, it's not about him being strong and fast, but that his thinking is so quickly. he's so smart off the ball, | a lot of that will have been learned when he was young cos he had to learn how to find - space, he had to learn how to get on the wrong side i of defenders and this sort of stuff. -

i love to see it, when he understands where the ball is falling down and the defenders around him are just confused — that's the best part. erling was a natural attacker, he always looked for goals, he scored a lot of goals when he was 15, 16 years old. he's quite the same playing - style now than when he was 12, 13 years old. we have seen many of the situation before, l so he has always scored goals. each level he had just continued to score. i for someone whosejob it is to score goals, he is a surprisingly selfless player. he actually has a reasonable number of assists even though he is a penalty box predator, really. but he will look up and find a teammate if the pass is on. on the field, he definitely... he showed respect, but he didn't show respect, you know. he played his way. he wanted to play to his strengths and didn't matter if it was a 34—year—old or a 18—year—old that was against him.

his hunger for more, more, more. - when he scored five goals in the champions league, j he was not happy. he was...he was mad! he was going for six, seven, eight. - that's...it's crazy. everyone else would have gone off this pitch and just _ say...happy and remember that for the rest of his life, - but he was mad. that's him. he seemed very driven, he knew that he wanted... this was just a pit stop for him. he — a lot of respect for the club, obviously, but he knew that he wanted to go further. he knew and we knew that he had a lot more in store for the future. i'm a simple guy. when i do something and i like it, i want to do it more. i would love to win more trophies because of the feeling. and exactly the same with the goals, exactly the same with winning games, you know, cos just the feeling is so nice. so, for me, it's a natural thing. when we first saw how good he's gonna be was — our best player at the moment,

and erling just passed him and, like, pushed him. i think still he's somewhere, and he was going to go and everyone just said, ok, wow, now we see how this guy is going. two days later, he signed for molde. it was very exciting when he went to molde as a 16—year—old guy. alfie and erling himself, they got a very good feeling from molde. molde at the time were coached by ole gunnar solskjaer and molde are a club that have a very good track record of producing players and, of course, this is the time where his body really starts filling out. i believe the players nicknamed him 'the manchild' because he still has a young boy's face but he's starting to get the body ofjust an absolute unit. it was the summer of 2018 where he really caught the eye because they were playing away to brann in bergen and erling haaland,

then 17 years of age, scores four goals in 21 minutes. for goals against the brann! four goals against brann! he went pro to - salzburg immediately. it's a dream. it's — i'm living the dream. erling has had such a great season. we had a joke in a press conference that, every day, there was a new team that was interested. at this point, everyone's interested, but they decide to go to dortmund. why? well, in large part because dortmund has no striker, so there's an obvious place for him in the first team. erling, he's told me that| school is not important — he's going to be - a football player, a star. i told him "ok, if you're - going to be an international "football player, you must buy me some tickets". - and when he played in dortmund, he sent me some tickets - and i was down in dortmund i and see the match, so erling, he's a man of his word — the 'big viking,�* as-

icall him. bbc sports theme plays. the biggest secret in football has been finally confirmed — haaland is now an official manchester city player. hejoins the club for £51.2 million. i'm absolutely buzzing! honestly, i can't wait! he scored goals in pocketfulsj everywhere he's been and it's really hard not to see i that happening at city. with me as a striker, i want to have fun. when i have fun, i score goals, i smile, i enjoy playing football and everything. so, in the end, ijust hope to smile a lot. first day? good to see you, guys. you know, i might have to cancel a few of my broadcasting days, just so i could go watch him live, to be honest. ican't wait! erling haaland scored twice. on his premier league debut as manchester city began... haaland became the first ever player to score hat—tricks in three successive premier league matches at home.. he's been described as a 21st—century goalscoring machine. he has the last thing that

every striker needs — - is the finish. he's got that in abundance, he's got the movement - in abundance. erling haaland, who scored five for manchester city last night in their big champions league win over rp leipzig. now, that... pep guardiola says erling haaland is on the ronaldo—messi level after the striker scored his 30th premier league goal of the season to help... erling haaland scored his 50th goal of the season i in all competitions as... ..haaland scored his 35th premier league goal of the season, setting a new record... elsewhere, erling haaland has been named as the football writers' association player of the year. it's erling here. i just want to say thank you for the support. it's the louvre. let's go! laughs. manchester city win the champions league, becoming the only the second team in english football history to complete the treble of major trophies in a single season.

n0 limit by 2 unlimited plays. crowd sings in time: erland haaland! come on! bryne is turned _ completely on their head. if you walk around here, j looking at the paintings, the statues — every time erling changed his club, | this town changed its colour. it's surreal that one of the most famous footballers in the world has come out of this little place. i think bryne is most known in norway, and now all over the world, for football. he put bryne on the map. everyone that has anything i to do with football or knows about football usually knows i where bryne or what bryne is — it's where erling's from. it seems like we all have

agreed that it's ok to have two favourite teams in england now. i hope tourisme, peoplel will come to eat the local food, see the bryne match, come and visit the place - erling has played. the impact is unbelievable. we've never seen something like this. everyone�*s interested in football, everyone loves erling. you can see it in the street — there are more tourists coming in, more interest around the football club. in every home, we're jumping up and down when he scores a goal.

bryne is so proud of erling. as mayor and citizens are proud that one local lad can be the greatest football player. he has inspired young players, of course, all over norway. they go with erling and they say "oh, erling, "a small kid from bryne could be the best player "in the world?" and they have a believing, they're dreaming. it's great to be mayor and watch all the smiles and supporting of erling. my life has changed, of course. i can't live normal — so normal any more. that's something ijust have to admit and that's how my life is. i can't complain. i try to enjoy every single moment of it. try to relax when i'm home

with good people around me. erling won't have a normal life for, like, the next 20 or 30 years. it's impossible. but i think if one person are going to handle that in quite a good way, that will be erling. he's so down to earth and that's what i like most about him. because the success and how big a star he is now, still, when he comes to bryne, it'sjust "hi," and just a normal guy.

he does seem to have this ability to shut out of the lot of the noise. he does seem to have a very solid grounding and i also think some of that comes from your surroundings when you grow up. people rarely get overexcited about anything in bryne. it's a very sort of a farmer's mentality, you know? if things are good today, you still be vigilant — things might be bad tomorrow. and i think that's something you see in erling haaland. what he's done on the football pitch, that's lovely. but when he's speaking in front of the camera, he always speaking about he's just a local boy from bryne. he's proud of where he come from. the feet is on the ground. so, i am very proud for the whole person erling, notjust what he do on the football pitch. i try to smile as much as i can because it's a good thing to have fun and to smile and i'm an emotional guy and i love to have the people that i love around me, to enjoy the moments with me and to help make me a better

person and a player. the future for erling, i think, is focused — that he will continue to love football, to train well, and we can see now, which we didn't see before, that some people are great until their late 30s, so that's what we hope for when it comes to erling. i've been developing in a really positive way and that's really important for me because i'm still really young. i'm still 22 and i've got a long career ahead of me and i still have to develop and that's also something i was thinking of over one year ago, when i was thinking about my next move, you know, about how i can develop even more and become an even better player. i think he is going to win ballon d'or. many ballon d'ors. he's already breaking the premier league record. that's crazy. sky is the limit. i don't have words for what he's doing right now. the most important thing

would be that he scores a lot of goals on the national side and gives us the european championship or even the world championship — that would be the best part. his careerjust gonel on a straight line up. like, it's amazing, and it's. all deserved because he'sjust kept performing and doing what he needs to do. - everything that erling . experiences now and will experience i think is 100% deserved and, as i said, . we are so happy for him. i hope to see erling back in a bryne shirt but i don't think it's in my time, maybe. he was a special boy. but to be the best player in the world, i'm not going to think that's going to be a reality. but he has a dream and he working hard every day, so now i'm just proud to see what he do on the pitch every week.

i will never be proud of - achievements from a footballer or erling because i don't see it in that way, but i'm very. proud of how behaved — he represent our region| and our town in a very good - way, and that makes me proud, not if he is first or- runner—up in the league. it's about staying humble but being confident that you're going to achieve something, that you're going to perform. but still do the hard work, never relax throughout the whole season. it's a long season — that's why i have to stay sharp here, and it's not easy. but you have to stay sharp here, stay humble, work hard — that's the most important things.

hello there. after wet and windy weather for weeks on end, now it looks like the weather pattern could be changing through this month. now, we started the new year with some sunshine across many parts of the country. already turning chilly in scotland where we've got those clearer skies, but towards the south—west of england, the clouds been rolling in, seen some rain coming in as well. you can see what's happening here on the earlier satellite picture. all this cloud is streaming up from the south—west, bringing yet more rain. and the winds are picking up, too, around that weather system. once that moves through, we've got another one following in behind. and those two combined could bring about two inches of rain, 50 millimetres of rain to england and wales and some flooding, too. we've got wet weather this evening across england and wales. moving clear of northern ireland

heading into scotland — there may be some snow over the mountain tops here. clearer skies will follow for a while, but the rain returns into the south coast and the south—west by the end of the night, keeping temperatures up here. and by the end of the night in scotland, after an early frost in the east, temperatures will be lifting here. the wetter weather continues northwards up towards the northern isles where it will be windy. it's also going to be windy in southern parts of england, some gales, particularly along the south coast. and we've got the spell of wet weather returning from the south—west from overnight across england and wales, maybe affecting northern ireland for a while. could turn a bit drier in the south of england in the afternoon, 13 or 14 degrees in those strong winds. bit of sunshine in between those areas of rain in scotland, but here temperatures will be lower. most of the wet weather, though, will be for england and wales. that will move away as we head into wednesday. we've still got some brisk winds in the north—east of scotland with a bit of rain. maybe the risk of some sleet and snow up towards shetland, won't be as windy across the south and generally on wednesday it's

a day where we'll see some sunshine and some showers, particularly across wales and the south—west. temperatures though, looking quite healthy at eight to 12 degrees. now, things will turn colder by the end of the week. instead of low pressure that will bring wet and windy conditions, we're going to start to see high pressure building down from the north. that will leave us with a north—easterly breeze, introduce colder air and lead to some frost as well. but the weather pattern looks like changing after a few more days of this wet and windy weather with an increased chance of high pressure really through the rest of the month, even. that will mean things are going to be drier, which is good news, but it will also turn a bit colder.
