Considered a world reference in his position, Erling Haaland inspires great fear among his opponents.
Less successful this season with Manchester City, Erling Haaland is learning to deal with much tighter marking. The Norwegian goal machine should still face a very tough defense during the match between Norway and Spain this Sunday evening, counting for Euro 2024 qualifying.
In the ranks of La Roja, Luis de la Fuente was widely questioned about his strategy to try to neutralize the Norwegian star (8:45 p.m.). If the marking on Haaland should be very tight, the technician insists that salvation will come through the collective.
‘Thwart Haaland’s traits’
“An anti-Haaland plan? Our approach goes beyond a single player but we know the impact of Haaland, De la Fuente explained.. Its very important. We analyzed the game in dynamic attack and set pieces. Haaland is a specialist in both, but I am very satisfied with the work of our central defenders. They all offer me a full guarantee. We will try to counteract their characteristics and minimize their ability and talent. In defense we dominated against Scotland and Norway, this is objective data », concluded the Spain coach.
