Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has spoken to the media after being criticized by former Manchester United captain Roy Keane that he was unlikely to score 20 goals after joining the Premier League.
Keane commented on the Norwegian striker ahead of the Community Shield clash with Manchester City’s 3-1 defeat to Liverpool, with the former Borussian star. Borussia Dortmund couldn’t have scored 20 goals in his first season with City, despite being a good goalscorer.
“He’s a great player, 22 years old, good, but he’s not at his peak yet. He’s in a great team with a great manager. he is dedicated But you can’t imagine he’ll score 20 goals, no way,” Keane said before the game on ITV.
To such cases, most recently, on August 4, Haaland responded to Sky Sports after being asked about the comments.
“I don’t have a goal of how many goals I can score. I have to say it’s a boring question.”
“The most important thing is to perform well on the pitch and win. Of course, every time I’m asked how many goals I expect to score. I never answered this question!”
Haaland, meanwhile, insists he doesn’t have a personal favorite, arguing that passing the ball against the net every time feels equally good.
“I love every goal. I must say so! It doesn’t matter if it’s in the Horsemanship. or shoot far Every goal has the same feeling.”
