Manchester City can not win the Champions League and continue to expand investment! Can Haaland really bring about qualitative change?

At the end of the season, Helmand will play for Dortmund for 2 and a half seasons, and in 2 and a half years, Haaland has made a total of 87 appearances, scored 85 goals, assisted 23 times, and averaged more than 1 goal per game, which is the top statistical performance in European football.

However, there are also some problems, such as the fact that haaland spent about 150 days recovering from injuries for about two and a half years, and he missed a total of 29 games for Dortmund, which has become the main problem for Real Madrid in recent times.

Haaland has had a lot of injuries this season

At this time, Manchester City, who had just missed the Champions League final against Real Madrid, also came to the final moment of negotiations with Haaland, according to the report of the European football star Skira, Haaland has completed the signing with Manchester City, with a transfer fee of 75 million euros and an annual salary of 30 million euros, joining Manchester City.

After more than two years at Borussia Dortmund, Haaland became one of the most recognizable young goalscorers in European football, what growth did he have at Dortmund? Can he bring about a qualitative change for Guardiola's team? Today, Chatball Jun will talk to you about Haaland.

Overflowing the screen of talent, the king of the Bundesliga penalty area!

1. Haland's proud talent

As we all know, Haaland's father used to play for Manchester City, there is a father of a professional player, Haaland's start is much smoother, in training and career planning, Haaland really did a good job.

First transferred to the Norwegian Super League powerhouse Molde, and then transferred to the king of the European sub-league, Red Bull Salzburg, after consecutive successes, and then stepped on the giant springboard of Dortmund, Haaland's talent is not only football skills, but also the team behind him!

Haaland and Raiola

Not only Haaland's father, but also the world's most well-known football agent, Rayola, has also advised Haaland to help him achieve rapid promotion at different stages!

In addition to these, the 1.94-meter-tall Haaland is undoubtedly the big man on the pitch, and the height similar to that of the Jamaican flyer Bolt also gives Haaland extraordinary speed of carrying the ball.

At the same time, even if Haaland's header is not very superb, but he is here, Haaland can score several headers in the Bundesliga every year! That's one of the reasons Haaland is able to stand out in the Bundesliga.

2. Haaland's shooting skills are very mature

Haaland's most commendable thing is his shooting skills, which is an important reason why Haaland has attracted the attention of major giants!

Haaland pushed

In the penalty area, Haaland can very cleverly find the space needed to shoot, receive the pass of his teammates, and complete the fatal blow, while in the small penalty area, pushing is the most conventional way to shoot, obviously Haaland's technique is very stable.

Haaland's shooting

Looking at this GIF, after the teammates have completed the steal, Haaland can consciously pull the angle of the shot and bypass the defender, which is a very clever practice, and this foot shot also reflects Haaland's different practices in different situations facing the goal!

Haaland's header

As a big man, as long as Haaland successfully jumped, he would not be much worse than the opponent's center-back, and this time Haaland still completed the header under the combination of the opponent's two center-backs.

Header technique is also a skill that takes time to increase the level, and sometimes we often see players who are older and better at the head, and Haaland obviously has a lot of room to grow on the header.

By the way: Haaland's hunk has a big advantage over the current Manchester City players, and his addition will improve City's lethality in crosses and set-pieces.

Haaland steals in front

Haaland, who has long legs and a pair of large legs, can indeed complete some difficult moves, and this time with his long legs to complete the steal next to the two centre-backs, which is a good proof!

And once facing the goalkeeper alone, Haaland's shooting advantage will be reflected.

Haaland anti-offside single knife ball

It was a successful anti-offside one-knife ball, haaland used his speed to open up the distance with the opposing defender for the first time, and even had the strength to adjust the step point and switch to his more familiar shooting position! At the same time, when the opposing defender interfered, it failed to disrupt Haaland's shooting rhythm.

To some extent, this evidence shows that Haaland's speed and strength are good in the Bundesliga, but considering that his teammate Sancho is generally adaptable in the Premier League, it is the right choice for Manchester City to finalize the contract as soon as possible and let Haaland come to the team as soon as possible!

Talk about Haaland's data performance

1. Who are The main goalscorers of Manchester City? Haaland can get more opportunities at Manchester City?

To put it in disbelief, Manchester City's most numerous shots on goal this season in the Premier League is full-back Cancelo, the Portuguese defender who is City's main long-range fire point, with a total of 69 shots on goal.

This is followed by midfielder De Bruyne, who has tried a total of 63 shots this season, followed by Mahrez and Jesus, who have completed 57 shots.

These data show that City's shooting counts are extremely dispersed, no one has full "right to fire", and anyone can kick at the right time!

Take a look at Haaland's data presentation

Since Manchester City lack Haaland's type of striker, it is difficult to make a comparison, so let's look at Haaland's data.

First of all, it is clear that Haaland's average number of shots per game at Borussia Dortmund is the second highest in the Bundesliga, and it is self-evident who the first is.

The player with the most shots per game for Manchester City is De Bruyne, averaging 2.4 times per game, 1 below Haaland, who is undoubtedly suitable as a "core goalkeeper".

Secondly, Haaland's number of shots on target is about half of the shots, the super high shot on target rate, but also led to Haaland's goal rate, this season his shot conversion rate is as high as 28%, the past two seasons he and Son Heung-min are the five leagues with the highest shot conversion rate of players!

Manchester City's shooting data is scattered

And this season, Manchester City have played in the center position, with 8 players (Premier League), four of whom have played more than five times: Gloris, Jesus, Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, this is the current situation of Manchester City, they do not have a center forward that can be believed in for a long time.

What is certain, however, is that City's creativity is higher than that of Dortmund.

This season, for example, City has delivered a total of 466 key passes in the Premier League, averaging 13.7 key passes per game, while City have 103 excellent chances and City have scored 84 goals.

Borussia Dortmund delivered a total of 320 key passes in the Bundesliga, averaging just 10 per game, while Borussia Dortmund had 92 excellent chances and Borussia Dortmund scored 80 goals.

Through this red-letter description, I believe you can find a fact, that is, although Manchester City's creativity is strong, its ability to seize opportunities is far inferior to Thatuer Mund, because the number of goals scored by the two sides is only 4!

Haaland is a great at taking chances

However, Haaland's ability to grasp the opportunity is outstanding, and when faced with a great opportunity, Haaland has a 77% chance of sending the ball into the opponent's goal! This statistic is also the highest in the Dortmund squad and the second highest in the Bundesliga!

In this way, Haaland can get more opportunities at Manchester City, and if he can maintain his current ability to seize opportunities, Manchester City's attack will be stronger.

2, Haaland is strong, but there are gains and losses

As we all know, Guardiola is not very fond of bulky strikers, he has worked with Ibrahimovic, the two sides have not been happy, although he has also coached Lewandowski at Bayern, but it is important to know that Lewandowski is still much shorter than Haaland, and the tactics of Manchester City and Bayern are also different.

Guardiola's current tactics do not match Haaland's

Why didn't City bring in an orthodox striker after Aguero left the squad and Kane was refused to sell by Levy?

Because in Guardiola's tactics, the center also needs to be responsible for a lot of running, including interludes in the penalty area, attracting defenders for teammates, creating a different offensive rhythm, standing still forwards, which will inevitably affect Manchester City's current system.

Haaland is fast, but he has a height of 1 meter 94 + a weight of about 90 kg! These proud talents that once made Haaland in the confrontation will also make Haaland unable to run continuously, and his movement frequency will inevitably decline, and if he increases the running frequency, with his height and weight, he may face more complex injuries.

City must accept the arrival of Haaland and change the situation of certain tactics!

Manchester City's high possession in the Premier League

Manchester City's 68% possession rate is a very exaggerated number, which means that Manchester City is besieging opponents most of the time in the Premier League, and Haaland can only use skills such as headers and point grabbing most of the time.

And his habitual defensive counterattack at Dortmund, there will not be many cases of using speed to create chances, and once Haaland is confused by the Premier League's "tough" defenders, it is likely to be invisible in the front.

Just as Lukaku can complete the ball on his back in Serie A, Haaland, who can do this in the Bundesliga, also needs to be tested by the Premier League, because at some point, some of the old fritters in the Premier League are very good at using the rules to knock the confidence of the new Premier League rookies, deepen their fears, and thus gain the upper hand in the confrontation.

Although Haaland is strong, but joining Manchester City, there must be gains and losses!

Conclusion: This is a desperate choice for Manchester City and Guardiola

When Guardiola said: Maybe I am not good enough, so Manchester City can not reach the final, many fans can feel that Guardiola, who has been in Manchester City for many years, is also full of confusion about the current situation.

Last summer, Manchester City had hoped to sign Kane and try more changes, but due to Levi's sky-high price, they chose Sterling's substitute instead, and as a result, Sterling not only did not go, Manchester City almost signed Ronaldo, but also went to Manchester United, and Manchester City lost the opportunity to try a top scorer in advance.

Haaland is Manchester City's choice, and even more so!

And with Manchester City eliminated in the League Cup, the FA Cup in the semi-finals, the Champions League also fell in the semi-finals, the league is also facing the strong pressure of Liverpool, Manchester City can no longer wait, since the existing squad can not achieve the Champions League 0 breakthrough, Manchester City also immediately increased investment.

Both Haaland and Pogba are likely to come to the Etihad this summer, Guardiola and Manchester City's contract will expire in 2023, and now That City is ready to renew their contract until 2025, it is certain that City still trusts Guardiola, but is Haaland really The "last piece of the puzzle" for Manchester City?

The answer can only be left to time to verify, but I hope that all the officials will have their own views and opinions after reading the article.
