Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Manchester City star Erling Haaland
Erling Haaland, a standout player for the esteemed Manchester City football team in the English Premier League, has received some incredible praise from the legendary Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. His comments rapidly gained notoriety since they also gave rise to a divisive remark about his development at Manchester City.
He has stated that he believes in Erling Haaland, but he also thinks that Pep Guardiola, the team’s manager, will be crucial to his continued development. When he was questioned about how the Norwegian player made him feel, his response startled everyone.
He said, “Do I like Haaland? Yes, very much so. I think he is a very intelligent player. He doesn’t do things that he is not capable of doing,” he told Canal Plus. “He doesn’t go down to get the ball to play. He waits in front of the goal and he kills them all. He reminds me of players like [Filippo] Inzaghi, [David] Trezeguet, [Christian] Vieri. He is the new version of these players.“
He also added, “Can Guardiola make Haaland even stronger? It depends on Guardiola’s ego, if he lets him become bigger than him or not. Because he didn’t let me get bigger? Me or others? Not only me, many others.”
