Former legendary Manchester United goalkeeper, Peter Schmeichel said Manchester City’s goal machine Erling Haaland is five strikers combined.
This was after Haaland scored three goals in City’s 6-3 demolition of United in their Manchester derby on Sunday. He became the first player to net three successive hat-tricks at home in the Premier League.
“When you look at Haaland, you see different players. That Zlatan-like goal, and Ronaldo is in there too. You see top, top strikers in one.
“The biggest part of a good striker is patience. I played against some of the best strikers and when they go missing is when you really have to concentrate,” added Schmeichel.
“The Cristiano Ronaldos, the Filippo Inzaghis of this world – they disappear then all of a sudden they get the chance.
“That is why he is so dangerous. He has the luxury of seeing many top strikers and they are all put into one player.”
Speaking on Haaland’s his manager Pep Guardiola said:”The numbers speak for himself. He has done this before here. It is not just our way. Always we try to help him in our environment,” said Guardiola.
“We have this incredible sense that he always looks starving and is so competitive. The numbers are scary.”
