Fabio Capello claims England has a player who is better than Erling Haaland.
Fabio Capello believes Jude Bellingham is a better player than Erling Haaland, with more “technical quality” than his former Borussia Dortmund teammate.
Despite Haaland’s tremendous development over the years, it appears that many fans and pundits believe he still has a lot of limits in his game.
In an era when top-quality strikers are in short supply, the Manchester City striker may be the only one who consistently scores goals.
Fabio Capello believes Jude Bellingham is better than Erling Haaland.
It is usual practice to focus on a player’s shortcomings who appears to dominate football from an early age in order to determine which aspects of the game he suffers with.
The 23-year-old has been subjected to similar abuse since joining Pep Guardiola’s side in 2022, especially given that he plays for the best team in the world’s most watched league.
So much so that Fabio Capello believes Jude Bellingham will be Kylian Mbappe’s main competitor in this generation, rather than Erling Haaland, whom he considers to be a worse talent than the Englishman.
“Yes. For me, the two footballers who will battle like [Lionel] Messi and Cristiano [Ronaldo] are Kylian Mbappe and Bellingham.”
“The two of them are more technically proficient than [Erling] Haaland. The Norwegian is a great forward, an animal, as well as a technically gifted goal scorer. Mbappe and Bellingham excel at goal scoring, technical skill, and dribbling.According to Haaland, he excels as a pure forward and plays at number 9.
Erling Haaland possesses strengths that neither
Fabio Capello highlighted Erling Haaland’s strengths, which neither Jude Bellingham nor Kylian Mbappe have in their arsenals.
Bellingham, in particular, is not the generational goalscorer that Haaland is, and while he is a terrific athlete, the latter appears to be a genetic freak with his combination of superhuman power and sprinter-like speed.
Similarly, the Norwegian can single-handedly dominate a backline with such skills, as he did during City’s 4-1 thumping of Arsenal last season, demonstrating that his hold-up play and technical security can routinely be outstanding.
On quiet days, Haaland’s world-class mobility and placement allow him to break down defences by finding a method to put the ball in the back of the net.
Jude Bellingham is one of the best in the industry, but dismissing Erling Haaland as Kylian Mbappe’s opponent in his favour is a reach.
