    Goretzka: Haaland has no respect for the opponent or football. He farted every time we approached him. He did it more than once!!pic.twitter.com/0Oa2DRt9uL— Troll Football (@TrollFootball) April 29, 2023

    But a short video of Goretska marking the Man City man before a corner is doing the rounds on social media.
    Haaland, who scored his 50th goal of the season against Fulham on Sunday, is known to enjoy the dark arts of football.
    And he appears to have opted for his most bizarre tactic yet.
    Goretska can be seen puffing out his cheeks and holding his nose as he waits for the corner to be swung in.

    The midfielder pulls a disgusted face while Haaland gives his own stomach a soothing rub and grins slightly.
    Some fans believe this moment is evidence that he let one rip to put his opponent off his game and could not help but make jokes.
    One said: “Holy crap. Is that why the defences of each team he has scored [against] couldn’t handle him??”
    Another said: “This explains the goals.”

    While Haaland went viral last year as he attempted to wind up Everton’s Ben Godfrey.
    Whatever the Norwegian is doing is clearly effective with the striker equalling the Premier League record for most goals in a season – and City still have six games left to play. More
