Andy Hinchcliffe has lavished praise on to Manchester City megastar Erling Haaland for his relentless mentality against Sheffield United.
The treble-winners maintained their winning start to the season, courtesy of a late Rodri winner after the £51 million (Sky Sports) man opened the scoring.
Andy Hinchliffe lauded Erling Haaland for his unrelenting hunger to score goals as Manchester City defeated Sheffield United, while speaking to BBC Sport.
Andy Hinchcliffe raves about Erling Haaland as Manchester City beat Sheffield United
Branded as ‘amazing’ by Ilkay Gundogan, the Norwegian striker shocked observers by striking the post when City were handed a penalty in the first half.
But the 23-year-old did not let an admittedly poor spot-kick mar his outing, getting on the head of a perfect Jack Grealish cross to head the ball into the back of the net.
Andy Hinchcliffe showered Erling Haaland with praise for how he kept looking to get on the scoresheet for Manchester City against Sheffield United.
“That’s the key thing with Erling Haaland, he just keeps on going. He doesn’t dwell on a miss, he keeps getting into goalscoring positions. He gets in front of Robinson at the back post, gets a good connection on it, and heads down into the net. Incredible mental strength from Haaland, no chance for Foderingham this time.”
Erling Haaland shares this trait with every other elite striker
Every top striker is similar to Manchester City hitman Erling Haaland in their constant desire to score goals, regardless of the circumstance, which does deserve lauding as Andy Hinchcliffe did as he fired the opener against Sheffield United.
Often, frontmen with patchy goal records tend not to be able to shake off a miss as they lack the confidence in themselves as unstoppable goalscorers.
Haaland, however much like other lethal strikers simply does not lack any self-belief and is always looking to put the ball in the back of the net.
