If the feud is open a few weeks apart Roy Keanesports commentator, and Erling Haaland, the entry into the fray of the footballer’s father only complicated the matter. Keane opened the ban a few weeks ago, saying, after the Norwegian’s poor performance at the Santiago Bernabéu in the Champions League (3-3), that he looked like “a Second Division player.”
Well, Haaland, who certainly had his worst night against Real Madrid this week, responded to the Irishman’s criticism with actions, not words. Without being at his best level, he scored yesterday afternoon in Manchester City’s defeat against Luton Town (5-1). He did it from a penalty and, in this way, put the ball back in Keane’s court.
But just when we thought it would lead to this, Haaland’s father, Alf-Inge, came into the picture. “Keane and other pundits are alone and have their ‘background’. They probably think it’s okay for this kind of criticism to happen to them. But the team won and Erling is still the top scorer in Premier, so it can’t be bad for you.”
