Nike, W+K Amsterdam, Director Rich Hall Chronicle “The Five Stages of Haaland”
Directed by Rich Hall via Riff Raff Films for Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam, this Nike film--titled โThe Five Stages of Haalandโ--reimagines a one-on-one battle through the goalkeeperโs perspective, dramatizing his psychological descent through the five stages of grief with Erling Haaland, the Norwegian soccer superstar, charging toward him.
Haaland scoring a goal is inevitable and the goalie knows it, experiencing the five stages-Denial, Anger, Negotiation, Despair and finally Acceptance.
