Manchester City takes on Arsenal in the Premier League today, with all eyes on Erling Haaland and his explosive start to the season, scoring nine goals so far. Haaland has been described as unstoppable and a defender’s nightmare, with his ability to finish any chance that comes his way. Former Arsenal striker Alan Smith suggests that defenders need to be “cute” and not let Haaland know where they are in order to deal with him effectively.
In the upcoming game against Arsenal, Haaland will be looking to bounce back from being contained by Inter in the Champions League. Smith highlights the physicality and awareness of Haaland, making it challenging for defenders to engage in a physical battle with him. He notes that doubling up on Haaland may be the best strategy, but even then, he is difficult to nullify due to his unique skill set and improved all-round game.
Overall, Haaland’s exceptional physicality and understanding of the game make him a formidable opponent for defenders, and it will be interesting to see how Arsenal’s Gabriel and Saliba handle the challenge of containing him in today’s match.
