We need to talk about Erling Braut Haaland.
A fabulous 21-year-old striker whose greatest passion is scoring goals. Since when he appeared, he has already drawn attention for being tall, strong, fast, with great positioning and an excellent finisher.
A young man who has been haunting Europe with his confidence and impressive mental strength. He can do things like an experienced player, but with a boyish face.
It causes constant fear in the defenses it faces and moves around. Being young, he manages to put intensity into his play. All the time.
Defender who races with him loses from afar, and if it’s in melee, it will be difficult to take him down. In fact, this is another virtue of this young striker: he stands up instead of throwing himself at each contact.
He passed through Salzburg, from Austria, went to Borussia Dortmund, from Germany, and now he has arrived at Manchester City.
The Premier League is the most competitive and difficult league on the planet. Getting there and scoring a lot of goals is not common in a player’s first year.
He joined a fantastic group, but that didn’t play with a striker because his great coach, Guardiola, preferred a team that attacked in progression, with exchanges of passes, to reach the opponent’s goal.
In England it works very well, but in the Champions League the team was always eliminated, even though they were one of the favorites every year.
It reached a final, but lost to Chelsea, because one of the problems has always been the difficulty of killing the game in the big matches.
That’s why many had doubts about how Haaland would fit into this team.
But he has shown that he knows how to find his place. And a great striker fits into any tactical scheme, especially when he loves to score goals.
Well, he arrived in England and is already breaking records, with nine goals in five games and surpassing Aguero, who had scored eight in five games, also for City.
Another feat of his was two hat-tricks in a row, feat for few in the Premier League.
Haaland has what it takes to become one of the greatest strikers and scorers in history.
Lewandowski is a great scorer, he is now 34 years old and it is normal for the ease to score goals to decrease, but he will always be a dangerous striker.
But the Norwegian is only 22 years old and is just beginning his journey, playing for the first time in the Champions League in a team that has a chance of winning.
It’s a shame that Norway is out of Qatar, because the world deserved to see how he would perform in a World Cup, at that age.
I love the Premier League and have been a fan of Manchester United for many years, ever since I arrived in Europe, as I already know the history of the club and am a fan of George Best. But I confess that in the Champions League I will support City, because of De Bruyne and the Norwegian.
A striker needs to stand up and love to score. Haaland has both. Let’s see how far he can go in this first season at City. I think it goes a long way.
