Scorer of the two goals in Norway's 2-1 victory over Brazil, in the round of 16 of the World Cup, last Sunday (5), Erling Haaland once again gained prominence among Corinthians fans due to a curiosity that runs through his career: the striker has already appeared wearing the black and white shirt and maintains an unusual connection with the São Paulo club.

The episode took place in July 2020, when Haaland published a video on her social networks thanking the messages received for her 20th birthday. In the images, the center forward wore the white Corinthians shirt, model from the 2019/20 season. Although he did not mention the club in the publication, the choice of shirt caught the attention of Corinthians fans and quickly had repercussions on social media.

At the time, Corinthians himself joined in the fun and responded to the striker's post, stating that he had made a good choice and that the uniform "fitted very well". Both the club and the player were sponsored by the same sporting goods supplier, which helped explain the use of the shirt.

In addition to the curiosity surrounding the black and white mantle, Haaland also has a connection with the current Corinthians squad. Between 2018 and 2019, the Norwegian played alongside defender André Ramalho at Red Bull Salzburg, in Austria. The two were part of the Austrian team's squad during the beginning of the European striker's rise, before transferring to Borussia Dortmund and, later, Manchester City.

Since then, Haaland has established his name among the top strikers in world football. The number 9 has national titles, goal records and protagonism for the Norwegian national team. In the current World Cup, the striker once again decided an important match by scoring both goals in the 2-1 victory over Brazil, a result that eliminated the Brazilian team in the round of 16. Neymar scored for the Brazilians with a penalty kick.

Even though he has never played in Brazilian football, Haaland continues to be remembered by Fiel whenever the video wearing the Corinthians shirt reappears on social media. The record, made five years ago, continues to circulate among fans and has gained strength again after another decisive performance by the Norwegian striker in a major international competition.
