Haaland signed off on his best scoring start and is now the Premier’s top scorer

It is known that, if somewhere you can enjoy Erling Halland, that is the Premier League. And the Norwegian, where Pep Guardiola He took a chance that he can be the best scorer of all time, he is enjoying and enjoying. The former Borussia Dortmund, despite his lack 22 years, avoided any minimal process of adapting to his new destination to the point of signing his best scoring start ever. In a Manchester City itself, where the pressure does not stop. In just its premiere year in what many consider the best league in the world. Geniuses are like that.

with his fleeting hat trick In just 19 minutes against Crystal Palace, Haaland has already scored 6 goals in the first 4 games in this Premier League, a goalscoring performance the Norwegian has never seen before. A front-to-door performance in which he improved on the 5 goals he converted in the first four rounds of the Bundesliga last year with Borussia Dortmund. And with a beginner what can be a tall order: he is already the top scorer in the Premier alone, beating the former Valencian player Rodrigo, who celebrated four with Leeds.

However, Haaland’s scoring frequency compared to last year is also more damaging because played fewer minutes: If last season the Nordic completed 90 minutes in the first four games, in this beginning he was on the green 78, 74, 90 and 84 minutes, playing the whole game at a time. So, if last season he converted a goal every 72 minutes, currently occurring at a rate of one point per 54. No wonder Guardiola almost worshiped him with his ovation when he was substituted in the 84th minute against Crystal Palace to receive a well-deserved award from a Etihad Stadium that Haaland has already dazzled.

But not only quantitative analysis leaves Norwegian in a very good place, but also qualitative, because many colors The Nordic put them in this start, five of them in the first touch counting the penalty converted on the first day against West Ham. Haaland’s six goals were split between one from 11 meters, two one-on-ones, one with a header and another two finishing off a cross, which was in the right time and place to shoot.

In a football that suits him as well as the Premier and considering Guardiola’s endless ambition to perfect the positional play and records of his players, Haaland is expected to be thrive outside the area. In that sense, the Norwegian has also added an assist so far this season, with a touch on the back where he softens the one-on-one where Foden He made it 1-0 against Bournemouth on the second day of the match (4-0).

A natural fit for the City game

But if Haaland does everything possible to adapt to Guardiola’s demands, Pep will also offer him the perfect ecosystem for it to express itself. The Norwegian, due to his many and varied skills as a finisher and area specialist, is a natural fit in this City, used to dealing with ultra-defensive systems and therefore pulling the band game using the space between the central and lateral as one of the best alternatives for its automatisms on the sides.

The mechanisms are thought to provide the centers with the best possible quality. What Haaland did against Crystal Palace was the incomparable demonstration in this City. In addition, although the Norwegian participated a little more in the associative game in the second half, he did not have to change his behavior much against the ‘Eagles’ to mark his hat-trick: He waited in his ‘9’ position and scored three goals. Something that also says wonders how the ‘citizen’ team has improved their football.

“Guardiola is a bit crazy and I like that”, the Norwegian said of a Pep where the striker kept him up at night. “I don’t sleep with Haaland! I don’t live with him, I don’t know how he handles it,” joked the man from Santpedor in a press conference. A relationship that flows in the form of goals. And the City is very happy with them.
