'Haaland is a top professional' – Wober reveals Salzburg star’s obsession with improvement

Red Bull Salzburg defender Maximilian Wober has hailed team-mate Erling Haaland as a “top professional” ahead of a vital Champions League meeting with Liverpool.

The Austrian champions go into the encounter aware that they need a victory in order to progress, with any sort of win liable to take them above the defending champions on a head-to-head basis after they went down 4-3 at Anfield.

Haaland caught the eye coming off the bench that night, scoring to level the game after his side had trailed 3-0, one of eight goals that the young Norwegian has struck in the competition, in which he is the leading scorer.
