Ballon d'Or 2023: Haaland

**renaissance12** · 05-03-2023, 02:12 PM

The first football player whose value will be one billion € or more..

He is a machine... a machine goals...
Haaland must come to play in Italy... all other countries are not up to having such a player..

He is a monster.. The superman of football..

Haaland has overtaken Alan Shearer and Andy Cole. Erling Haaland has broken the single-season Premier League goalscoring record.

Erling Haaland set a Premier League goals record by scoring his 35th of the season in Manchester City's 3-0 win against West Ham on Tuesday. The 22-year-old Norway striker struck in the 70th minute at Etihad Stadium to give the defending champions a 2-0 lead.

He is playing in the - by far - best team in the EPL. He is playing in a very offensive minded team, with a coach who finally plays a Nr. 9 as Nr. 9 and not as 10, false 9 or as a winger like he used to before.

Messi will win it anyway this year. Is Haaland the best striker and goal scorer this year? Yes- by far. But he has only a chance if City wins the Champions League.

Realistically he will play only in Italy if he gets worse- we dont live in the 90s anymore.

Haaland would be a perfect fit for Internazionale in the past, a team with tradition on great number 9s. But if he played in modern Serie A he would probably score 70 goals a season lol.

The league is showing signs of evolution though. We'll probably never see again for the next 30 years a Serie A like that of the 80's and early 90's where you'd have world class players even in relegation battle teams, but Napoli is well managed, Juventus is still a powerhouse and the Milan double has good players and is too big to fail for so long.

Serie A is way more defensive minded and tactically demanding than Prem. I think it's hardest league for strikers. But ofc quality and especially tempo is lower than in England.
