“I try to do the same runs with everyone but with him, it’s a bit more like I know I’m going to get it perfect-Erling Haaland says Man City actually have a player whose passing is just ‘perfect
The Belgian playmaker came on as a substitute for Manchester City in the 57th minute against Everton. He set up Haaland’s second goal of the day with a beautiful pass on the break.
Erling Haaland didn’t do much during the game, but when Kevin De Bruyne found him in a huge open area, he came to life. He danced past Jarrad Branthwaite and put the ball past Jordan Pickford to lead his team to win.
It is said by Erling Haaland that Kevin De Bruyne is a “perfect” shooter.
The dynamic duo have only played three games together, which is bad for Pep Guardiola because the midfield maestro has been out with a hamstring injury for a long time.
One of those games was City’s 3-0 win over Burnley in the first game of the season. De Bruyne was taken off because of an injury that keeps happening, so the two have played just over 200 minutes of football together this season.
But when Kevin De Bruyne fed Erling Haaland again in Manchester City’s 2-0 win over Everton, Haaland praised both his passes and how well he understood him.
I try to do the same runs with everyone, but with him I’m more sure that I’ll get it just right. He said on Manchester City’s website, “I know the ball is going to come.”
As you can see, I don’t even look at the ball for two seconds when he has it. I’m too busy running for the goal.”
“That’s the difference. I don’t mean any harm to other players, but to know that the ball will come is a small thing.”
Erling Haaland also said that he knows where Kevin De Bruyne will play his passes because he has watched him play for years.
“It seems more natural.” I watch a lot of football, so I’ve known for a while where he plays the ball, and he hasn’t changed it in the last five years.
“It was about coming in and finishing those things for me.”
The Manchester City star is a striker’s dream.
As a result, Kevin De Bruyne has made things easier for Erling Haaland at Manchester City by knowing how strikers move. This is a skill that all great creators have.
The five-time Premier League winner can also find Julian Alvarez anywhere at any time.
Kevin De Bruyne’s great vision and final ball seem to put Erling Haaland at ease, as he said that he hopes to get a chance to score soon.
Haaland scored his 16th goal in the Premier League this season against Everton. It was bound to happen.
