Erling Haaland lauded Cristiano Ronaldo’s “amazing” goal-scoring ability and said that he “always watched” the Portuguese superstar when he was younger to help him develop his own abilities.
Erling Haaland cited Cristiano Ronaldo as a huge inspiration, claiming the Portuguese superstar was someone he would “always watch” as a young footballer.
The Norwegian has continued his spectacular goal-scoring heroics with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, scoring 17 times in 18 games across all competitions.
Haaland, 23, grew up during the reigns of Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, as did many other football enthusiasts his age. He revealed that it was the Al-Nassr forward from whom he learned the most.
Haaland stated that seeing Ronaldo’s goals on YouTube helped him improve his own goal-scoring %, which is now one in every four attempts.According to Hааlаnd, who told TV2 that she used to wаtch him on YоuTubе fоr his bоxing abilities, he would make two or three moves before аttаcking the spot he wanted to be in.
It’s almost like a duel when it comes to the center backs. It is crucial to get the timing just correct. The post must also be good. If the cross isn’t good, you can’t score with your head.
Cristiano’s style of play and the improvements he’s made as a player. You may recall that he was predominantly a striker during his tenure at Manchester United and his early years at Real Madrid.He pulls it off, which is wonderful. The manner in which he scores goals is as crucial. It’s all about tricking defenders with small moves in the box, he says.
Because he will not be competing in Norway’s upcoming European Championship qualifier, the Norwegian will have more time to view his childhood idol’s finest career moments.
After spraining his ankle in Man City’s recent friendly win over the Faroe Islands, Haaland will be unable to play against Norway on Sunday, leaving the club concerned about his fitness.
City will be hoping he is fully recovered by the time they face Liverpool in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium on November 25.
