In the 13th round of the English Premier League, in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, Liverpool defeated Manchester City 2-0 at home, Liverpool won four consecutive league wins, and Manchester City suffered four consecutive defeats in the league. In this campaign, Haaland was once again invisible in the strong dialogue, the 1.91-meter-tall Nordic center, 16 touches of the ball, 7 passes, and 0 successful aerial duels, disappeared directly into the green field.
Haaland lost his "pie" and was reduced to a mediocre striker, with no fulcrum, no back, no dribbling, and no header. Some fans ridiculed that when Haaland met Van Dijk, the Norwegian center forward suddenly became a "giant baby" on the green field and became a well-behaved "baby".
The best way to ridicule is to make sense of the data! After Liverpool 2-0 Manchester City,Haaland has PK Van Dijk a total of 8 times in his career, what is the result? 3 draws, 5 losses, no wins, which means Haaland is hard to find a win against Virgil van Dijk.
It can be seen from Liverpool's 2-0 Manchester City match that Haaland has no confidence in the face of Van Dijk, the Norwegian center forward has a poor header, in addition to speed and no ability to break through with the ball, which also led to Haaland "shopping" next to Van Dijk throughout the game and doing nothing. Pep Guardiola brought on Doku in the second half to make a number of sharp breakthroughs on the left and desire to combine between the side and the center, but Haaland was not prepared to grab the point in the middle. Manchester City's seven-game winless run in all competitions and four consecutive defeats in the Premier League are the best "mirrors", Haaland and Foden are worth a total of 350 million euros, which are really two seriously overrated attackers, and comparing them to Salah is really insignificant.
