21 games with 20 goals! Manchester City’s striker leads the team in the Europa League scorer list
The fifth round of the UEFA Nations League B continues. The Norwegian Vikings led by Haaland lost 2-1 to Slovenia. Reversed and suffered their first defeat in the group stage. However, despite the loss, Norway still ranked second in the group with a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and retained hope of promotion. After scoring in this game, Haaland also leads the UEFA Nations League scorer list with 6 goals. He has scored an astonishing 20 goals in 21 national team games.
This season, Haaland has partnered with Yunusi and Solot as three strikers, who are from Southampton in the Premier League and Real Sociedad in La Liga.
In the first half, the two sides attacked and defended each other, but there were not many excellent opportunities, and the 0-0 draw was a goalless draw. Only 3 minutes into the opening of the second half, Slovenia made a wrong pass from the backcourt, El Yunusi knocked Haaland across the penalty area, and the latter knocked on the goal of the world’s No. 1 defense. It is a pity that in the 70th and 82nd minutes, Slovenia, who played at home, scored 2 goals in a row and successfully reversed 2-1. Although Haaland scored a goal, there was nothing he could do.
In this game, Haaland played the whole game, scoring 3 goals and 1 goal, in addition to 2 successful breakthroughs, 1 key pass and 5 top hits. After the game, he scored a team-high 7.4 points. The score is second only to Red Bull Salzburg striker Sheshko, who contributed to the passing. It is worth mentioning that this is the Norwegian center’s 8th consecutive game to complete the goal. According to the schedule, the Norwegian team will host Serbia in the early morning of September 28, and the winner of the two teams will advance to next year’s UEFA Nations League A-level competition.
Haaland will play Vlahovic and Mitrovic.
The 22-year-old Haaland has scored 6 goals in 5 Europa League games and 11 goals in 7 Premier League games, becoming a phenomenal player in European football this season. Doubts about his suitability for the Premier League have long since evaporated. It is a pity that the overall level of the Norwegian team is too stretched, so that Haaland has no chance to show his talents in the upcoming Qatar World Cup. Of course, this is actually a good thing for Manchester City. After all, Haaland can rest well and inject his blood into the second half of the season.
After Haaland arrived, Manchester City finally had its own superstar. The Norwegian center’s world-class finishing ability in front of goal solved the biggest pain point of Guardiola’s team before. With his help, Manchester City are one step closer to their dream of reaching the top of Europe. It is no exaggeration to say that Haaland is the second golden name of Manchester City today. His presence will make Manchester City more attractive to top players. As for who is the first gold signboard, needless to say.
