Erling Haaland is currently one of the most lethal strikers in the world. So, it is obvious that the opposition teams need a separate plan to restrict the Norwegian. Ahead of their clash against Manchester City, the Chelsea boss has laid out a game plan to potentially block the devastating impact of the striker on the scoresheet.

On the other hand, Erling Haaland is hoping to make it one more step closer to winning the Ballon d’Or next year. He will have to keep on scoring goals irrespective of the tournament and the opposition to make his case stronger.

Chelsea’s manager has a plan to stop goal-scoring machine Haaland

Erling Haaland is currently the highest goal scorer in the Premier League this season with 11 goals in 11 games. The opposition teams have continued to find it difficult to stop the Manchester City striker. Haaland will strive to bang in goals in the next match against Chelsea to continue with his scoring form in the league before the international break. However, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has a special game plan for him ahead of their clash.

He said, “You need to run faster, focus and try to anticipate him. You have to be clear about how you are going to defend in the box because he is tall. You need to jump before him”. Only time will tell whether Pochettino selected the perfect game plan for Erling Haaland. The Blues will look to capitalize on the Norwegian’s inconsistent form this season set by the lethal striker himself.

Manchester City will look to disrupt the plans of Mauricio Pochettino for their star striker. An early goal from Haaland would be something that the Cityzens will anticipate against Chelsea to unsettle their nerves. However, there’s a matter of concern. The Norwegian does not have a great personal record against the Blues.

In the last four games, Manchester City have a brilliant record against Chelsea. They have won all four times and have also scored 8 goals in the 4 games. But, the personal record of their star striker Erling Haaland is not great. He has not scored a goal or provided an assist in all those 4 games against the Blues. Soccer experts have pointed out that Erling Haaland does struggle in games against the top 6.

There are also times when he does not get the regular service to create chances in the opposition box. Pep Guardiola will hope that his star striker can now break the scoring shackles against Chelsea. This will increase the confidence of the league leaders and also of Erling Haaland himself. So, the big question will Erling Haaland finally score against Chelsea? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
