[마이데일리 = 최병진 기자] Elling Haaland (22, Man City)’s scoring ability is beyond imagination.
Manchester City will play the ninth round of the English Premier League (EPL) for the 2022-23 season against Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester on the 2nd at 10 pm (Korean time). Manchester City are in second place with 17 points (5 wins, 2 draws), while Manchester United are in fifth place with 12 points (4 wins, 2 losses).
Manchester City are enjoying the Haaland Effect. Manchester City, who has Haaland at a relatively low transfer fee of £85 million (about 130 billion won), boasts a formidable attack. Manchester City are the top scorer in the league so far, scoring 23 goals in 7 matches.
Holland’s personal record is also frightening. Haaland has scored 11 goals in 7 league matches. He scored a hat-trick in two consecutive games against Crystal Palace in Round 4 and Nottingham Forest in Round 5. The gap between the second-place goalscorers Alessandro Mitrovic (Fulham) and Harry Kane (Tottenham) is already five goals away.
According to data released by British ‘The Sun’ on the 30th, Haaland recorded 156 touches while scoring 11 times. That is the number of goals scored in 14 touches. He also tried 26 shots, but 17 shots on target. The conversion rate from on-target shots was a whopping 64%.
This is data that can confirm Haaland’s scoring ability, which can score goals even with a small touch and shooting. The British ‘Sports Bible’ praised Haaland for his determination, saying, “If Haaland maintains the current scoring pace, he can reach 63 goals.”
