Erling Braut Haaland, Manchester City
The comment expresses the writer’s opinions.
WHEN ALAN SHEARS (52) with his 260 Premier League scorers claims Harry Kane (29) would score as many goals as Erling Braut Haaland (22) for Manchester City, as a Norwegian you just wait for the accompaniment to Alf Prøysen. By speaking to the tune of “Æille har et siskenbån på Gjøvik”, he devalues the Norwegian’s boundary-breaking achievements.
With Shearer’s play in The Athletic Brauten is suddenly not as unique as many of us would like it to be.
Then it is no longer Erling Brauten Haaland who lifts City to new heights, but City who lifts Haaland.
This case: Shearer: – Kane would score like many like Haaland for City
AT THE 22 YEAR OLD doesn’t have as many touches on the ball is a fact that makes other complainers claim that the scoring machine from Norway does not is one of the world’s best soccer players, alternatively striker. In war and love, as is known, all is lawful. Some like mora and so on.
But if the end does not justify the means in football, what then?
If the goal of a football match is the result, what is the problem with Erling Braut Haaland’s few touches of the ball?
THE QUESTIONS ARE RHETORICAL, and the answers are identical and come here: I have no idea. If Brauten is not good enough, I understand absolutely nothing.
Many will probably claim the last sentence is a fact when you set up smash and so on.
But again – that it is required of the City striker more than any other footballer in the world has achieved at such a young age, I will always struggle to get my head around it.

AT THE TOP OF THE AV what you see and read from the statistics, Erling Braut Haaland has a humility you have rarely experienced. As an underlying factor in everything he undertakes there is an inherent willingness to do the things you have to look for to see.
When the world’s best striker is in a position to score his goals, it’s not because someone drove him there.
It doesn’t come by itself.
And if he has a free moment, he picks up the spray bottle the referee has lost, as he did against FC Copenhagen at home at the Etihad.
Because that’s how he is, and because it could cause damage if someone steps on it accidentally.

ERLING BRAUT HAALAND are no free passengers who come to a covered table. He works for the scores, every single one. Some of them seem simple to perform, an optical illusion used against him. Others come through speed, power, timing and acrobatic feats.
All count equally, and all are founded on extreme goal-scoring skills.
None of them are random

ERLING BRAUT HAALAND understand more than the eye sees. That’s why he’s so good. He has goalscoring in his backbone and reacts on instinct. The football match is largely decided within the opponent’s 16-metre area. This applies to being proactive.
Therefore, he makes conscious choices in relation to getting a little extra space, so that if possible he can be there for the ball able to come before anyone knows where it’s coming from.
The more often he does it, the more he will succeed.
Some would claim that he has a sixth sense and veterinarian where the ball will go, but this isn’t FIFA 23 even though it might look like Pep Guardiola is controlling Kevin De Bruyne with a joystick.
Greia is probably rather that it is the sum of everything he has as a footballer that makes it possible.
AS A BALL DRIVER Position for posts, it’s not like you have to look for Erling Braut Haaland. If you hit the ball with speed and precision where the defense is most vulnerable, the Norwegian will very often find a pass.
When the ball meets, or vice versa, the probability is imminent that Brauten is first and for the result of the touch goes on goal.
The rest is up to the opponent’s keeper, who very often loses.
20 goals in 12 games so far, an average of 1.66 goals per game, says everything about the 22-year-old’s superb position at the top of the hierarchy right now.
To deny it is like claiming that the earth is flat.

WHAT THE BRIDE HAS done so far in his career is groundbreaking in football. We have not set it before. Nor is there any indication that it will stop anytime soon. The fly zone has taken on a new meaning, and on the outside sit experts and commentators looking for words.
So why deny that virtually all coaches and football experts are one hundred percent single that it is no one in front and no one on the side?
Why use the most brilliant of all – the few touches on the ball – against him?
Erling Braut Haaland has given football a new dimension, just as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo helped lift the game to levels we had never set.
If you do not manage to enjoy the fact that you are Norwegian, regardless of club affiliation, it may not be something to evaluate.
