Erlinhg Haaland was invited to assess his great rival Kylian Mbappé by the media France Football.
Is the remote duel between Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland the new Lionel Messi-Cristiano Ronaldo? Haaland himself is mixed on the subject, as he confided to FF.
“That’s what everyone seems to think.” But be careful, we must emphasize to what extent Messi and Cristiano have done crazy things. We also have to remember that they still do it, because even if they get older, obviously, they remain fantastic players. (…) But, to come back to your question, I never talk about myself against other players, it’s not my way of being or seeing things”thus maintains the Manchester City star, who prefers to focus on his progress to become “the best version” of himself.
Does he watch the matches of other stars like Mbappé or Vinicius for example?
“Yes, of course, because I watch a lot of football on TV,” he said. By the way, I saw the incredible debut of Jude (Bellingham, his former teammate at Dortmund) at Real Madrid, it makes me really happy for him. I’m passionate about football, it’s what I’ve always loved and you could say that it takes up all my time, whether professionally or in my life. (…) But there are so many matches and training sessions that I also have to think about recovering. »
