Erling Haaland’s Champions League-Winning Gameplay Can be a Lesson to $5,000,000 English Rugby Star, Says Teammate

Norwegian superstar Erling Haaland has been a sensational addition to Manchester City. The former Borussia Dortmund star took to the side like fish to water last season emerging as a key component for the team. While the striker added a lot to the team with his goal contributions, his presence alone was a constant threat to the opposition, even when the player was not busy scoring goals. English Rugby star recently talked about his teammate in an interview with BBC, adding that he could learn a lot from Haaland.

The $5 million Rugby star was praising his teammate, who had a great outing in his last game, finding his all-time best numbers. However, his teammate felt like the player, despite his sensational performance, had a lot more to learn, apart from scoring.

Jonny May wants his teammates to learn from Norwegian striker

English Rugby star Jonny May was full of praise for his fellow English teammate Henry Arundell following a string of amazing performances. Arundell was on fire in the game against Chile as he bagged a five-try haul. His teammate Jonny Mayu was full of praise for his teammate before comparing him to Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.

Talking to BBC, May commented that Henry Arundell has been amazing but won’t get five-try hauls in all his games. He will need to learn that there are some games where you make an impact without scoring, similar to Haaland’s role in City’s 1-0 win over Inter Milan in the UCL final.

“You want to be having your influence in attack, scoring tries, and having those moments, but equally the most important games, the hardest games, aren’t like that. It’s like the Champions League final and you watched Haaland play. It wasn’t a game about scoring lots of goals. Those Test matches in knockout games are not about scoring lots of tries, it’s about making the least mistakes, a game of chess. It could also come down to a moment of magic.”
