Manchester City’s young and powerful striker Erling Haaland recently shared his thoughts on being compared to football legends Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. According to him, he is currently considered one of the best players in the world, but he doesn’t see himself worthy of reaching the kind of great records held by Messi and Ronaldo.
“No. Right now, I’m among the strongest footballers in the world. But repeating the results set by such great players as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo is almost impossible. Even I can’t break such records,” said the Norwegian striker in an interview with “101 Great Goals”.
It should be noted that Erling Haaland is now in his third season with Manchester City. During this period, he has played in 146 official matches. In these matches, Haaland has scored 124 goals and provided 21 accurate assists to his teammates, clearly demonstrating his high-level scoring ability.
As preparations for the new Premier League season heat up, Manchester City will play their first match away. The “Citizens” will face Wolverhampton away on Saturday, August 16. Haaland’s participation and effectiveness in the attack during this game will be closely followed.
Football experts and fans are paying close attention to every move Haaland makes on the pitch. With each new match, he takes a step toward new records and could enter history with his unique style. However, he humbly stated that his goal is not to match great legends but to find his own path.
