Manchester City striker Erling Haaland concedes he'll be careful in Norway's friendly against the Czech Republic.

City face Premier League leaders Arsenal next week.

"It's nice to represent your country, but it's different to face Arsenal on next weekend compared to the Czech Republic at home," said Haaland.

"I can't lie, there's a big difference.

"When the European Championship comes I will be able to relax. Stopping a bit will be positive, although obviously I would have liked to play in a competition like that with Norway."

On the criticism received in recent times, the City striker added: "I think the important thing is not to speak so much with your mouth, but with your feet. I've already done it. Everyone else can speak with their mouths, me with my feet."
