Erling Haaland is a cold-blooded killer in front of goal, but he is also an informative fighter.
As well as being a physical example, with incredible speed and power, the 20-year-old man’s movement is so clever and has been a major reason why he gets in so many great careers.
Norway are now at a full 45 goals in 46 games for Borussia Dortmund. He has scored a number of different goals but one thing that remains is his unique ability to invade the place.
As the analysis video below shows, Haaland has become a master of “the double run”. When his team has the ball in the third final, he regularly makes a decoy run.
He then follows that with a second move that gives him that important split-second to find the place.
The former Red Bull Salzburg man does this brilliantly at the near post in particular – see his goal against Werder Bremen last year for example – and with this we all know about the finish. clinical that he has in his locker.
Haaland has also been extremely effective in getting on the blind side of the defender to make it a lot harder to keep track of.
That uncertainty for a defender is absolutely horrible and before they can even respond, he has moved and tapped home.
an hour agoThe first was an effort from outside the area in less than two minutes, and then we saw that progressive play to make several different runs for the second.
After not getting the pass the first time, Haaland had a nous to attack the nearby post and get ahead ahead of David Alaba.
It’s so good and so good for a fighter instinct at such a young age and it’s awesome to see that it has room for improvement.
