In his first season with Manchester City, Haaland is expected to win the Premier League, Champions League Golden Boot and European Golden Boot. However, legendary Cassano said in a BBTV statement on Thursday, "Haaland doesn't know how to play. ”
After retiring, Cassano has repeatedly criticized Ronaldo and Mourinho with sharp remarks, and this time is no exception. Speaking about Haaland, Cassano said: "Some strikers do know how to play, like Lewandowski, Benzema, but Haaland is not. He's a phenomenal player, a great goalscorer, but he doesn't know how to play. ”
"Haaland reminds me of Adriano when I played for Inter, or rather, Haaland is a combination of Ibrahimovic and speed, even though Ibrahimovic is better than Haaland. At the same time, I also think that he is a mixture of Adriano and Vieri. ”
Back in September 2022, Cassano said, "Haaland can score 90 goals in a season, he is physically strong, but Alvarez is a better player." ”
Haaland has scored 45 goals in all competitions this season, including 30 in the Premier League, topping the Premier League goalscorers table and leading the European Golden Boot standings. With nine games remaining, Haaland is just four goals away from the Premier League single-season goal record held by Shearer and Cole . Haaland, meanwhile, also leads the Champions League scorers with 11 goals.
