Erling Haaland hit hard this Saturday against Wolverhampton with a quadruple. A new XXL performance from the Norwegian striker. He was asked after his match about the many criticisms of Roy Keane.
It is obvious that Roy Keane will not go on vacation with the Haaland family. A new episode took place between the former Manchester United player and the Manchester City scorer. As a reminder, in April 2001, Roy Keane tackled Alf-Inge Haaland, Erling’s father, on the knee.
A premeditated act of which the Irish community, expelled on the spot, had boasted in his autobiography: “There are things that I regret in my life, this is not one of them. Damn, I pulled out all the stops . Take that, asshole. Even in the locker room, I had no remorse, it was an eye for an eye: fuck him. He got what he deserved…”
Haaland compared to ‘a Championship player’
This tackle also ended the career of Alf-Inge Haaland. Since the arrival of Erling Haaland in England, Roy Keane, now a consultant, does not fail, whenever he can, to criticize the Norwegian striker. This season, after the draw against Arsenal (March 31), Roy Keane declared on Sky Sports: “The level of his game is so bad, and not just today. I think he must ‘Improve, he’s almost like a fourth division player.’
Since this match against Arsenal, Erling Haaland has found the net again thanks to goals against Crystal Palace, Luton and Nottingham Forest. Last week, Roy Keane joked about Haaland’s performance against Forest on Sky Sports: “He was very similar to a Championship player but he has improved a lot. As a goalscorer he is absolutely incredible, he does not no doubt about its quality in terms of finish.” Pep Guardiola, the Manchester City coach, also reacted at a press conference to these repetitive criticisms.
This Saturday, the Norwegian striker was the author of a quadruple against Wolverhampton. Asked by Viaplay after the match, Erling Haaland kicked in when discussing criticism of Roy Keane: “I don’t care about this guy, so that’s very good.”
Author of 25 goals and 5 assists in 28 Premier League matches this season, the Norwegian striker is for the moment content to respond only on the pitch to criticism from Roy Keane.
