As summer creeps in, Norwegian star Haaland's next stop is also becoming the focus of attention. "As" broke the news that Haaland bought a property again in Malaga, Spain, and he also expressed interest in playing in Spain when interacting with fans. Barca coach Xavi and the team's sports director Cruyff Jr. have even quietly gone to Germany to meet haaland directly, although the news quickly leaked so that the meeting did not have the expected effect, but this haaland battle without smoke is ready to start. At this juncture, however, Haaland was injured again.
On March 5, Bild broke the news that due to the recurrence of old injuries, Haaland, who had planned to return in the near future, was back on Dortmund's injury list again, and he planned to return to the field after the national team match at the end of March. In Dortmund's 3-2 away win over Hoffenheim in the 17th round of the Bundesliga on 22 January, Haaland opened the scoring for the team but was then replaced by an injury, diagnosed with a leg muscle injury and missed out for the next six games. On Friday, Haaland attended training, and Ruhr News predicted that he would return next weekend in Dort's home match against Bielefeld, but the final plan was not as good as change.
In fact, this is Haaland's third injury this season, injury has caused him to miss a total of 16 games this season, although the Norwegian giants still scored a stunning stat of 5 assists in 23 periods and maintained a super high goal rate, but frequent injuries are not good news for the European giants who are looking for him.
As the two future superstars of world football on par with Mbappe, Haaland's personal ability is naturally unquestionable, and his strong impact on the pitch has caused headaches for any team's backline. However, as a large man with a height of 1.94 meters and a weight of 88 kilograms, this impact style of kicking also overwhelmed Haland's body. In April last year, then Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer broke the news in an interview that Haaland had suffered a serious knee injury when he was 16 years old, but he was not knocked down by injuries, but through his own efforts to become a top football star. The original intention of the coach was to praise Haaland, but now that I think about it, Haaland's injury hazard may have been buried at that time.
His attending physician, Pedro Ripoll, may have the most say about Haaland's physical condition. At a sports show on Spain's four-channel sports programme in March, Dr. Rippel spoke about Haaland's injury, which in his opinion was why the Norwegian centre-forward had reached his physical limits, which is why he was so vulnerable to injury.
Compared with Haaland, the French superstar Mbappe is significantly different, in the more than 6 years since he was promoted to the Monaco first team in December 2015, Mbappe has never suffered any major injuries, in the previous five seasons, he has only played less than 40 games in the 2019/20 season, and so far this season, Mbappe has also played in 35 competitions, excellent physical fitness and ultra-low injury rate, ensuring that the French superstar is on the pitch.
Haaland's personal abilities have made many European giants salivate, and they are willing to pay a very high price to recruit him to become the cornerstone player who leads the team to glory. But Haaland's frequent injuries will make them think twice when asking for him, especially Real Madrid, which has planted a big heel on Hazard, and they certainly don't want to repeat the same mistakes on Haaland. And Barca, Manchester City and other teams are estimated to think the same way, after all, no one wants to spend one or two hundred million to buy a sick straw.
