In the early morning of 19 January, Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund lost 2-1 away to Bundesliga leader St. Pauli, losing the third round of the German Cup, which also meant that their domestic cup trip of the season was over, and although Haaland scored 1 goal, we can still clearly see that his heart is no longer in Dort.
Exactly two years have passed since Haaland joined Dortmund in 2020, representing the team in 78 official games and scoring 79 goals in that two years. From the data point of view, the efficiency of one goal per game is enough to rival Messi and C Ronaldo, but if you look at the nearly one month of games, the gap between his professional attitude and Mero is still not small. In Dortmund's early days, Haaland performed amazingly, completing a hat-trick in his Bundesliga debut and delivering 41 goals in 41 games in his first full season.
Although the data is gorgeous, it is really difficult to achieve anything in Dortmund, there is bayern in domestic competitions, the Champions League is even more masterful, and the Hornets, which are the main youth storm, are difficult to get a share of these old fritters. In his two and a half seasons with Dortmund, Haaland won only one DFF Cup. And Haaland scored five goals in six head-to-head encounters with Bayern, but couldn't win any of them from their opponents, not even a draw, which is undoubtedly a huge blow for competitive and powerful young players.
With Borussia Dortmund's recent slump and the Champions League group stage exit, Haaland's mentality is gradually beginning to change. At the beginning of the season, Haaland was still conscientious, but in the past two months, Haaland's attitude to the game has dropped visibly. Haaland has complained more on the pitch than before, passed the ball haphazardly, and although he has scored about the same number of goals, his conflict with the club has been put on the surface since last week's match with Freiburg.
In the match against Freiburg, Haaland scored two goals, and in an interview after the game, Dortmund was forcing him to make a decision and something needed to start preparing. If he were in Haaland's shoes, he was still hesitant to leave the team or stay another year, so he felt that the team was forcing him to make a decision in advance. From the perspective of the team, the team's home scorer has the idea of leaving the team, and needs to immediately start looking for a frontal replacement for next season, in order to seek more transfer fees, only to let the players make decisions as soon as possible and delay the contract period, according to foreign media reports, Dort's contract extension to Haaland has reached the maximum salary in the team, higher than captain Reuss.
In fact, the reason why Haaland joined Dort is well known to everyone, but Dort fans themselves are not willing to admit it. Dortmund is now a well-known star processing plant in Europe, and is the springboard for many players to eventually enter the top teams of the five major leagues. Haaland's career at Dort is nothing more than the difference between long points and short points, and eventually he will go to teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City and Bayern. Since Mbappe has almost certain to go to Real Madrid, haaland is more likely to go to Barca and Manchester City, and if you take into account the actual financial situation of the team, then Manchester City and Paris are his most likely next home.
Compared with Levan, Haaland's current approach is obviously a bit unprofessional. Levan clearly informed Dortmund when he wanted to leave, and under the persuasion of the team, Levan also played the last season for Dortmund, and almost full attendance, missing only one game in total. Now Haaland's king of the game at Dort clearly didn't happen to Levan. From this alone, it can be seen that Haaland is inferior to Levan, or even to his immediate rival Mbappe. Mbappe's desire to go to Real Madrid is well known, and Mbappe's contract with Paris will expire this year, Mbappe's future is actually very clear, but he has not shown any resistance to the current club, which is in line with Haaland's deliberately messed up behavior.
