There is a worrying number behind Erling Haaland’s ferocity

Football Norwegian star Erling Braut Haalandin the first season in the English Premier League has been, to put it mildly, incomprehensible.

With two consecutive hat-tricks, the striker of the English dynasty team Manchester City has scored nine goals in four matches, which means one goal in 40 minutes of 90 minutes of play.

Haaland, 24, who started his third season at City, has played a total of 104 matches in the blue shirts of Manchester, in which he has scored 99 goals.

In his opening season, Haaland led the Premier League in goals by hitting no less than 36 full hits. Last season, Haaland’s goalscoring tally was a slightly more modest 27, but the Norwegian has opened the new season perhaps even in the swing of his life.

Last weekend, after the international break, Haaland scored two goals in Brentford’s net, even though a family friend of the Norwegian had died recently.

“I would say that he is in the best shape of his career, but there are only four matches behind him. I didn’t ask if he was ready (to play against Brentford). If he wasn’t ready, he would have come to tell me. He’s an incredible weapon,” City’s head coach Pep Guardiola quoth According to ESPN after the match.

Haaland got a long vacation in the rush of the summer tournament, because the Norwegian men have played in the tournament for the last time in the year of Haaland’s birth.

“I’m sure it (playing in the prestigious tournament) is his dream and he will do everything to achieve it. But of course it has a lot of impact when you get to rest for 1.5 months and recover physically and mentally,” said Guardiola According to Eurosport.

Haaland has already practically sealed his position as one of the best strikers in football history, but the Norwegian’s scoring is clearly focused on matches played against smaller and lower-level teams.

According to BeIN Sports In a City shirt, Haaland has scored 18 goals in 35 matches against the “big teams in England”, i.e. Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal, as well as European teams Real Madrid, Inter and Bayern Munich. Against all other teams, Haaland has scored 81 goals in 69 matches for City.

City and Haaland were already scoreless in the Champions League match against Inter played on Wednesday, and scoring may be tight also on Sunday in the Premier League top fight against Arsenal. Arsenal have only conceded one goal this season, and Haaland has gone without a complete hit in his three previous matches against the Gunners.

If Haaland doesn’t succeed in scoring on Sunday, the Norwegian will also have to bow out Cristiano Ronaldolle In pursuit of 100 goals in the shirt of a single club. While playing for Real Madrid, Ronaldo reached 100 goals in 105 matches, and Haaland has no chance but to set aside that record.
