At the goalscorers, Haaland is third with 14 goals, behind the unruly Lewandowski, who has 24, and André Silva, who has 16.
Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, currently in the discipline Borussia Dortmund, has become one of the most watched players in Europe Y you are constantly associated with big clubs including Barcelona and Real Madrid.
His numbers are incredible, but the question is always whether a player will be able to jump from one team in which they shine to another in which new challenges await and probably even higher demands.
If the figures of Haaland, not only his goals, there is so much data to justify the uproar caused by his name others who recommend some caution.
His scoring ability who live on their physical strength, their speed and their shot at target- He certainly speaks in his favor, in addition to his age of 20, which makes him a player with a future.
On the other side of the accounts is his low participation in the team’s game, compared to other forwards and, especially, to Robert Lewandowski.
The comparison with Lewandowski may be unfair, what many expect from the Norwegian necessarily forces to draw parallels with the best and, in this case, with the best in the competition in which he participates.
In the score table Haaland is third with 14 goals, behind the stubborn Lewandowski, who has 24, and André Silva, who has 16.
For his goals, Haaland needed 49 shots on target, 24 of which changed direction.
In the classification of ‘scorer’, which adds goals and passes to goal, Lewandowski’s lead is an even bigger 32 to 17 points, and Haaland is surpassed not only by Silva, but also by Thomas Muller, who has 19 points with 10 points and 9 assists.
In the ranking of the best players in the Bundesliga, with which the magazine is prepared “Kicker“from the average of the grade their analysts give each player each day Haaland is even lower, in ninth position
The latter can be the product of participation relatively scarce that Haaland has in the team’s game, although he compensates for the latter with goals. In this season of the Bundesliga, Haaland has an average of 26.64 touches per game, compared to 35.28 for Lewandowski.
Lewandowski plays for Bayern. Dortmund, on the other hand, has to play for Haaland, hoping to be rewarded with their goals. To do this, the tactical approach is even varied, trying to take advantage of Haaland’s speed, which sometimes requires the team to retreat to make sure the opponent leaves room behind their defenders.
It is precisely this that has caused Dortmund problems against rivals trapped in their area and against those who suffer to find formulas for arrival. In other words, Dortmund especially suffers when they are favorites and all the teams that have Haaland on their shopping list are generally favorites in most of their games.
Obviously because of his age Haaland still has the potential to develop other resources, to learn to move better in small spaces and to increase his participation in the game.
You need time for this. The Dortmundwhere he is the undisputed holder, it gives him. It is not clear that any other team had the same patience.
In this way, Dortmund director Hans-Jochim Watzke’s public recommendation to him makes sense that he will take the time to grow at his current club before jumping to the next level.
Haaland’s contract with Dortmund runs until 2024. However, unofficial sources have always been talked about a termination clause of 75 million euros that would take effect in 2022.
