Before the upcoming weekend match between the clubs "Liverpool" and "Man City", the strategist of the "Reds" Jurgen Klopp paid attention to the opponent's sniper Erling Haaland.
The 22-year-old Norwegian made his debut in the "Premier" league with a bang and has already scored 15 goals in 9 matches.
When asked if he can compare the young forward to anyone, J. Klopp said:
"Directly? Perhaps not, but there have been other tall, physically strong, and technically skilled forwards.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is exceptional for being tall. However, Erling combines many things and few players can do that. Haaland's finishing skills are outstanding, he moves cleverly in the box, and then it becomes even harder to stop him.
You can use your speed, but only if you can do it. Just running in the box would not be helpful.
You must wait for the ball, be patient enough not to fall into the offside trap, and excel in other things. These abilities make Erling special," Klopps said.
