A true star of Manchester City, Erling Haaland has displayed a very worrying face for several months.
Among the most profitable transfers, that from Erling Haaland to Manchester City is often mentioned. Recruited for 75 million euros in provenance of Borussia Dortmund, Haaland has joined one of the best teams in the world. Looking for a new striker, the Citizens had a clear objective: to win the Champions League. With the arrival of the “Cyborg”, Pep Guardiola was finally able to lift the trophy he had been missing since 2011, and Haaland has established himself as one of the best strikers of his generation, finishing second in the 2023 Ballon d’Or.
Since then, Erling Haaland has become an essential reference in current football. With ever more impressive statistics, the Norwegian seemed to dominate the scoring charts. Everything seemed to be going well at the start of the season, but Manchester City is experiencing a free fall. For several months, the Citizens have been unrecognizable. Continuing poor performances, the Sky Blues are on the verge of losing the title they have won continuously since the 2020/2021 season. The team seems disoriented and can no longer play his own football. Although he is the star of the team, Erling Haaland is struggling to reverse the trend, and worse, he seems absent. Since September 28, the 24-year-old striker has only scored 3 Premier League goalsa worrying statistic given its level.
We must save Private Haaland
Throughout his young career, Erling Haaland showed great confidence in front of goal. Nicknamed the “Cyborg”, he has always been considered a clinical striker. However, lately he has been showing some ineffectiveness on the pitch. Manchester City plays less well, and the number 9 of the Citizens struggles to have a real impact in the collective game.
With only 3 goals in 13 Premier League gamesHaaland displays a ratio that he has never experienced before in his career. This drop in form weighs on the club, especially since he just missed a crucial penalty in the 1-1 draw against Everton. The season is far from over, and the Norwegian, like Manchester City, haveopportunity to recover and achieve a much more convincing second part of the season.
