No-nonsense Dortmund star Haaland explains notoriously brief interview answers

Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland has become infamous among reporters and fans alike for his notoriously short answers to interview questions, but the striker claims it is merely a lack of imagination from certain journalists that leads the unease.

Haaland has quickly established himself as one of the best strikers in world football, with his Champions League goalscoring exploits for RB Salzburg leading to a race amongst Europe's elite to bag his signature – a race that Dortmund ultimately won.

The 20-year-old's ability to find the net on a consistent basis would normally have reporters scrambling to get his reaction after games, but after leaving several interviewers feeling rather awkward with incredibly brief responses, the media are no longer quite as excited by the prospect.
