Klinsmann: Levan is a real top striker and Haaland is definitely the future

Recently, German star Klinsmann said in an official interview with the Bundesliga that Levan is a real top striker and Haaland represents the future.

Asked why Levan was elected FIFA World Footballer of the Year, Klinsmann said: "Obviously, he's an incredible, fantastic goalscorer and Levan deserves all the praise in the world – he's won seven titles in the last two years, which is just crazy. ”

Levan also scored 41 goals in 2021. I think one of the main characteristics that we've seen from Levan over the years is his hunger. He is extremely hungry for goals, which means that when he scores his first goal, he wants to keep scoring the second or third goal. I don't know how many hat-tricks he's played in the last few years. As a striker, that's what fascinates me. ”

Asked what's different between Haaland and Levan, Klinsmann said: "I think when we talk about that hunger – that desire to score goals, you see a lot of similarities. Haaland also has this hunger and he always wants to score a lot of goals. They all work well with their teammates; they can also give other players assists and scores, which I think is also important, they are very well-rounded. ”

"When I talk about Haaland, I always talk about young Levan in some way. Of course Levan is very experienced now, he is still at his best and can still score a few more years, but when I see Haaland, I see the shadow of the young Levan. ”

"We're going to see the stories that happen in the coming years and I think Levan still has an advantage because of his experience and the championships he's won year after year, he's one step ahead of that, but Haaland will definitely be the future and it will be very interesting for Haland to follow Levan's path in the coming years."
