[TV2] Erling Haaland: “I always watched Cristiano Ronaldo on Youtube for his movements in the box: He made 2-3 moves before attacking the space he wanted to be in. It’s kind of a duel in that situation vs centre-backs. Cristiano is the most important inspiration for me.”

Haaland’s full comment on Cristiano as the most important inspiration for his career as a striker.
>Cristiano Ronaldo is the most important inspiration for me. I remember always watching him on Youtube for his movements in the box: He used to make two or three moves before attacking the space he wanted to be in. It’s kind of a duel in that situation with the centre-backs.
>It is important to time it perfectly. And the post must be good. If you don’t get a good cross, you won’t be able to score with your head.
>How Cristiano moves, and how he has managed to develop his game. You remember when he played in Manchester United and the first years in Real Madrid, to become more of a striker in Real Madrid.
>It is incredible for him that he manages. But also how he scores the goals. It is the small movements in the box, and being able to deceive the defenders.
Kind of obvious tho. The only two players in modern football who are able to score from any chance in any position
Ronaldo has the best off the ball movement for a forward.
CR7 must be an inspiration for all upcoming strikers. That guy was a freaking poacher, out of nowhere ……and the end of the product is siuuuuuuuuu
The parallels are obvious and I applaud him for watching Cristiano and not wanting to do all the fancy tricks and flicks and instead choose to study his movement and off the ball work ethic (runs into the box, drifting positionally, peeling off of defenders). This aspect of Cristiano doesnt get talked about enough. Its why the haters will never understand the genius of Cristiano. The man lives for goals and Haaland could very well end up being this generations Ronaldo.
Yeah looking at how good Haalands off ball movement is it’s clear who he’s learnt it from.
Man i want Haaland to play for us so badly
The best poacher ever is Cris. And we can already witness haaland showing the same. Finding the net is what a striker should do.
Someone remind me how we didn’t sign haaland when he left Dortmund? I believe he was linked to us but somehow he signed for city instead.
I miss him bros
