Augustinsson: Haaland was a bit immature, that's something one has to deal with

Sweden international Ludwin Augustinsson has hit out at Erling Haaland ahead of his national team's UEFA Nations League game against Norway on Sunday.

Augustinsson was not happy about Haaland's remarks about his teammate Alexander Milosevic after the match between the two sides last Sunday.

The new Manchester City signing had accused his rival of insulting him during the duel, where Norway grabbed a 2-1 victory on the road.

"First he called me a whore, which I can assure you I'm not, and told me he was going to break my legs," Haaland said after Norway's win. "Then I scored a minute later."

Augustinsson recalled Haaland's comments and reminded his opponent that what that happens on the pitch should stay there.

"I've been in Spain and Germany and a lot of serious things are said there," said Augustinsson.

"That's something one has to deal with and not tell the media. One has to learn that.

"It was a bit immature, because that can cause upset, but there is a derby feeling between Sweden and Norway and those things can happen."

After Haaland's accusations, Milosevic claimed that he can't speak Norwegian and stressed that he didn't insult the former Borussia Dortmund striker.

Sunday's match is scheduled to be take place at the Ullevaal Stadion, in Oslo, at 18:00 CEST.
