Manchester City Striker Erling Haaland hits back at Roy Keane after claims he plays like ‘League Two player’
Roy Keane said that the Manchester City striker’s style of play was “that of a League Two player.” Haaland responded by making fun of Keane.
After scoring 25 goals in 28 Premier League games this season, Haaland is likely to win the Golden Boot for the second year in a row.
It comes after his record-setting first season, in which he scored 36 goals in 35 games.
But this season, people have a different opinion of Haaland. Many criticize him for not having enough moves.
Even though it’s his job to score goals, a lot of people think he needs to work on his whole game.
He said he “doesn’t care” about Keane and played down the statements.
But when people said he wasn’t doing enough, he told them the truth and supported his place on the team.
“People have always had different ideas about how many times I should touch the ball.” That’s what he told Men in Blazers: “When I score, no one talks about my plays, but when I don’t, everyone does.”
The things people say about me are just a part of my life; I can’t change them. I only need to focus on what I need to do on the field. My job isn’t to be like Rodri and run the game; it’s to be in the box and finish off attacks. That’s what I care about, not what other people say. It’s all about helping the team win.
Some people might find it funny to hear this, but you can play football without touching the ball in the end. You can do it with your body, your mind, or your awareness.
It’s a very important part of the game. It’s not enough to just touch the ball. You have to touch the ball, but I know what my job is on this team.
