Enzo Fernandez has heaped praise on Erling Haaland.
The Chelsea midfielder was quizzed about his thoughts on the treble-winner during an interview with the Premier League’s official YouTube channel.
All one can do is laud the 23-year-old, with Michael Bridges revealing that he feels the highly-rated goalscorer is already the best striker the Premier League has ever seen.
Enzo Fernandez hails “constant threat” Erling Haaland
Retired Manchester United and Liverpool midfielder Paul Ince claimed that while the Norwegian international is quite uninvolved for the most part during several games for City, he is the “real deal.”
The Leeds-born No.9 has become one of the most discussed players in the world since joining Pep Guardiola’s men, winning the treble in June this year and effortlessly shattering age-old records.
Enzo Fernandez gave his two cents on Erling Haaland, having faced him during Chelsea’s dramatic 4-4 draw against Manchester City in November.
“We don’t change our style of play [to adapt to Erling Haaland’s strengths] but we’re more aware because we know he’s a constant threat in the box, he’s strong, fast and strikes the ball excellently. On top of that, he’s a goalscorer and gets a ton of goals”, he said on the Premier League’s official YouTube channel.
Erling Haaland has a fear factor that every top player has
As Enzo Fernandez revealed, it is key to be switched on at all times when going toe-to-toe with Erling Haaland.
The former Borussia Dortmund megastar seems to have no complaints about being an isolated figure for spells in games as long as he is fed enough chances to inflict damage on the opposition with his thunderous left foot.
Especially since signing for Manchester City, there is a fear factor attached to Erling Haaland, as he is quite a rare breed of frontman in today’s day and age, being as merciless of a finisher as he is, an adept mover inside the box and a once-in-a-generation athlete.
Every striker would perhaps crave to have a reputation like Haaland’s, as it is the ultimate compliment to his game.
What makes the ex-RB Salzburg hitman even scarier is that like every top player, he tends to live up to the billing and rise to the occasion.
