Mathys Tel has suggested that Erling Haaland is the strongest player in world football.
The Bayern Munich striker presumably looks up to Haaland as one of his role models, considering he is one of the best goalscorers on the planet.
The 18-year-old, who is regarded as another one of France’s wonderkids would perhaps also aim to achieve as much as the Manchester City hitman has at such a young age.
Mathys Tel suggests Erling Haaland is the strongest player in the world
The £51 million (The Times) man has always stood out for how strong he has always been since being a teenager.
The way in which the 23-year-old can just bully defenders without breaking a sweat, such as how he did to Ruben Dias during his time at Borussia Dortmund when he faced City in the Champions League in 2021 makes him a one-of-a-kind physical specimen.
When asked to build his perfect footballer out of all the current players in the world by GOAL [via TikTok], Mathys Tel picked the superhuman strength that Erling Haaland possesses.
“Speed?” Tel was asked.
“Kylian Mbappe,” he answered.
“Strength?”
“Erling Haaland,” Tel replied.
“Skills?”
“Thiago Alcantara,” the youngster said.
Another reason why Erling Haaland is so dangerous in transition
One can understand why Mathys Tel picked Erling Haaland as he has shown to be freakishly strong.
While there is often a focus on Haaland’s pace as the reason why he is lethal in transition, another factor is his strength.
If a quick defender manages to keep pace with the Norwegian talisman, the job of stopping him is far from done for them.
If Erling Haaland decides to use his physique to use, the defender in question would virtually have no chance of stopping him in his tracks.
While there may be a few that could, one would find it a challenge to name them as Haaland’s strength is one of the many factors that defines him as a generational talent.
