“He Can’t Change Countries” – No Hope For Erling Haaland, Says Premier League Legend After Norway’s Humiliation

Erling Haaland immediately became a sensation with Manchester City last season. But, with the national team, it is looking like a big problem for the star striker. Norway has failed to qualify for the 2024 Euros. A Premier League legend has now said that he has no hope for Erling Haaland with the Norway national team.

Haaland will now redirect his focus on the season with Manchester City. But the soccer federation of Norway will have to now think of a solution that can help them qualify for the big competitions. They also need to take advantage of players like Haaland and Odegaard to improve their quality.

Erling Haaland- No current hope of success with Norway

Erling Haaland scored very well in all the competitions for Manchester City last season. He is continuing the same form this season. But, his problem at the moment is going on with the Norway national team. Norway lost 1-0 to Spain in the Euro qualifier. The result means that Norway has now failed to qualify for the 2024 Euros in Germany. Premier League legend and soccer analyst Craig Burley has now made an astonishing claim of Erling Haaland to get used to failure with the national team.

Burley, speaking on the poor performance of Norway, said, “Erling Haaland has to get used to this type of results. He cannot now change countries.” Another soccer pundit and former Norwegian international Jan Aage Fjortoft has also pointed out problems in the current Norway squad. He has said there is a quality in the attacking half. However, the issue remains with defense as the team conceded too many goals in the last 15 minutes in the whole qualifiers tournament. They need to find a balance in the current national team for success.

Erling Haaland is scoring goals on a regular basis for Norway. But you cannot concede two goals after you score one. Norway manager Ståle Solbakken made a claim at the start of qualifiers that his team would  99% qualify for the main tournament. Therefore, the decline of form and ambition is worrying for any team. This is not the end of problems for Erling Haaland. He is also facing issues with City.

Lack of goals- A worry for Haaland and Manchester City

Haaland is currently also facing the issue of goals on the field with Manchester City. The Norwegian striker has struggled with his overall game in the last few games. But luckily, Julian Alvarez is scoring goals to avoid huge pressure on Haaland. However, the Norwegian striker is under pressure to start scoring goals. Manchester City have also struggled in recent games to convert the goal-scoring chances. Haaland’s lack of goals has to be also because of the lack of service.

In the recent matches, Manchester City players have failed to provide Erling Haaland with quality passes and crosses to score the goals. Haaland is also missing the passing and crosses of Kevin De Bruyne. De Bruyne is still recovering from his injury suffered at the start of the season. The reality is that Haaland needs passes and crosses that will provide him the space to score a goal.
