"Haaland still wins the Golden Boot with an injury! "！
At Luton, Haaland made five fine saves in the space of 60 minutes, which he made when he was 16-16. The game also dispelled some suspicions about Haaland, a newcomer who has only been in the league for two years and has not scored for a while this season and has been injured for more than two months, but he is not far from helping Manchester City defend the treble and continue his dream of the Premier League golden shoes.
Last season was Haaland's first move to Manchester City, where he scored 52 goals and provided nine assists in 53 appearances this season, including 36 in the Premier League, 12 in the Champions League, three in the FA Cup and one in the English League Cup, averaging one goal per game, and he led the team to three consecutive European Cup titles, last season's Premier League and FA Cup double, as well as Haaland's Premier League Golden Boot, UEFA Champions League Golden Boot, European Golden Boot, UEFA Player of the Year, England Player of the Year and Premier League Player of the Year. In addition, he was nominated for the Laureus Male Player of the Year in 2024 along with Lionel Messi.
But one of the reasons Haaland lost to Messi at the 2023 Ballon d'Or was that he didn't play convincing enough in international competitions. Haaland's Norway not only failed to participate in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, but even the European Championship qualifying round only ranked third in the group and could not participate in the 2024 European Championship. In addition to Haaland, the captain of the Norwegian national team, Eldegaard, Celta's goalscorer Larsson, Benfica's Olnes, Burnley's Berg, Napoli's Estigard, Dortmund's Lillson, Brent's Aye, Brent's Aye, the team's overall level is quite good. Haaland's inability to lead Norway to a good result has severely limited his options"Superstar"toward"Ball King"of transformations.
With Gundogan's contract with Barcelona expiring, Mahrez was traded to Jeddah, while Kevin De Bruyne's long-term absence due to injury, along with injuries to Seat B and Rodri, forced City to put Mateo Kovacic and young Rico Luiz in the middle of the pitch at the toughest of times, and then put Stones and Akanji in the middle. The midfield efficiency in this game was reduced, not only because of the team's performance, but also because Haaland had too few shots on goal.
In the first round, Manchester City beat Burnley 3-0, and Haaland's goal also gave the team hope. In the third round of the Premier League, Haaland's goal helped the team beat Sheffield United 2-1; In the fourth round of the Premier League, Haaland completed a hat-trick and an assist, and Fulham won 5-1. In the fifth round of the Premier League, Haaland scored as Manchester City beat West Ham 3-1. In the Champions League group stage, Manchester City defeated Burnley 3-1, Haaland scored: 1 Fulham game, Haaland completed three hat-tricks and one assist. In the fifth round of the league, Erling Haaland scored as Manchester City beat West Ham 3-1. In the Champions League, with an assist from Haaland, Manchester City defeated Red Star Belgrade 3-1. On the sixth matchday of the league, Haaland scored to give Nottingham Forest 2-0. Haaland has made eight appearances in that time, scoring eight goals and providing three assists, and he has been doing well.
From a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle in the English League to a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in eight rounds, only three of the four league games have been won in the past 11 days, Haaland has failed to score in three of his four games, and Haaland has conceded his first goal of the season.
However, Haaland quickly recovered from a slump and won five times in all competitions, 2-1 against Brighton, 3-1 against Bern Juniors, 3-0 for Manchester United, Bournemouth 6-1 and Bern Juniors 3-0, with Haaland scoring seven goals in five games.
However, in the next five league rounds, Chelsea 4:4, Liverpool 1-1, Leipzig 3-3, Tottenham 3-3, Villa 0-1, only 1 win and 1 loss in 5 rounds, scored 11 goals, behind Liverpool and Arsenal. But Haaland has also been in good form during this period, scoring four goals and providing two assists in five games. City's biggest problem during this time has been their defence.
After the defeat to Villa, Haaland was away for almost two months due to injury, but during this time, Manchester City played very well, they played well on all four fronts of the Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup and FA Cup, except for a draw at Crystal Palace at the road, the rest of the competition is unbeaten in all competitions, with nine wins and one draw. Haaland beat Burnley 3-1 in 22 league games and then 1-0 in 26 league games, with Haaland scoring just three goals and one assist in that time. In the past 15-15-2-17-0-0-1-0 record, Haaland has not been a key figure in the team's attacking line, De Bruyne, Foden, Alvarez will all return, so without Haaland, without De Bruyne, Manchester City will not work.
However, Haaland has only recently scored five goals in 60 minutes in an FA Cup final, thus creating the first FA Cup goal in 98 years. After this game, Haaland played 30 games for Manchester City, contributing 27 goals and 6 assists, an average of 09 goals, 02 assists; His scoring efficiency is 098 balls 017 assists are down, but he's still a top scorer.
Haaland now has 17 goals in the league, two more than Salah. He has already scored five goals in the Champions League, with Griezmann, Morata, Galeano, Hoyleen at the top of the list; He has scored five goals in the FA Cup, second behind Blackburns and Modic who are now out. Although Haaland is not as strong as last season this season, ranking Kane, Lautaro, Mbappe, Adams and Guirasi in the instant European Golden Boot rankings, he could still be back in contention for the European Golden Boot this season.
Despite Haaland's injury and the team's performance dipping, Kevin De Bruyne's return and the city's morale is high, as well as Haaland's impressive performances in an FA Cup final and the performance of his fifth son, Denko, have raised suspicions about him. Manchester City are in full swing, with De Bruyne and Erling Haaland on track to become treble-winning pairs, while Haaland has his sights set on the league's Golden Boot, Champions League and European Golden Boot.
