Borussia Dortmund head coach Lucien Favre is very happy with Haaland – and well, who wouldn’t be?
In the clash against French club Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, Erling Haaland scored both the winning goals against PSG. Some even say that he might be the next goalscoring machine!
“He arrived here one and a half months ago,” BVB coach Lucien Favre told his news conference after the game, adding: “He immediately showed his qualities — which we were aware of before he arrived. He’s somebody with an incredibly strong mentality. He always wants to lead the way, in training he always wants to score. And if he doesn’t score, even in training, he is annoyed and disappointed. His superb attitude helps the entire team — and all that with him being only 19 years old.”
“He also defended well with the rest of the team. His positioning helped us to remain compact. If we can send him deep, we’ll do that. Or he’ll drop back and fixate the ball. The 2-1 was created because of a superb pass by Gio Reyna but that was only possible because Haaland made a very good run,” Favre said.
