Haaland's Advocacy for Technological Advancements
In a recent interview with Manchester City's official podcast, Erling Haaland emphasised the need for goal-line technology to be implemented across the entire pitch, not just confined to scoring situations.
He believes that consistent technology use can prevent teams from gaining unfair advantages through deceptive tactics like gaining extra metres.
Haaland's discontent extends to throw-ins, where he points out the ambiguity in the rules that allow for inconsistencies. He stresses the importance of clarity and fair play regarding throw-ins, suggesting that rules should be more straightforward to avoid confusion and prevent teams from capitalizing on loopholes.
"The first is to introduce goal line technology all over the pitch, so that you always know when the ball is out of play. But what annoys me is throw-ins.
"If you throw this way or that way, it doesn't matter. Just make sure you have two hands on the ball. I don't even know the rules, and if I'm going to make a throw, I'll probably do it wrong. But it doesn't matter if you throw the ball straight down, straight up or whatever. I would change that.
"And you can't steal too many meters, there should be a limit to how far you can go and a limit to how long you can take. I think it will be like that in the future."
