There is no satisfaction in Erling Holland.
Manchester City defeated Leipzig 7-0 in the second leg of the round of 16 of the 2022-23 season European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League (UCL) held at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England at 5 am (Korean time) on the 15th. . With this, Man City succeeded in advancing to the quarterfinals with an aggregate score of 8-1.
I pulled out the 4-1-4-1 formation. Holland stood at the forefront, and Grealish, Gundoan, The Brawiner, and Silva were located in the second line. Rodri stood in front of the defensive line, and Ake, Dias, Akanji, and Stones built the back four. The goal was guarded by Ederson.
Also, there was a ‘monster’ Holland in Manchester City스포츠토토. He mercilessly demolished Leipzig with an explosion of five goals. In the 22nd minute of the first half, Henriks committed a handball foul and the referee declared a penalty kick (PK). Haaland became the kicker and finished strongly with the lower right corner. In the 24th minute of the first half, De Bruyne’s shot in front of the penalty arc hit the crossbar and Haaland rushed in and scored with a header shot.
He completed a hat trick in the first half. In the 2nd minute of added time in the first half, Grealish handled a corner kick and Stones shot a header. The ball hit the goal post and hit the goal line, and Haaland pushed it.
It was the same in the second half. In the 8th minute of the second half, a corner kick came up long and Silva put it into the gate through a header. Haaland’s high RBI header hit the goalkeeper’s hand and pushed it back in the confusion. Finally, in the 12th minute of the second half, after a corner kick was cut short, Mahrez raised a sharp cross. The goalkeeper’s shot fell in front of Haaland, and a simple shot split the net.
Haaland could have scored a ‘double hat-trick’ by scoring just one more goal. However, the game was already on the rise and manager Pep Guardiola called him in in the 18th minute of the second half. It was to arrange physical strength for the FA Cup quarter-final against Burnley on the weekend.
Haaland gave an interview to ‘BT Sports’ after the match. “It’s a great night. First of all, I’m proud to be able to play in this competition. It’s really good. And scoring five goals and winning 7-0 is amazing,” he said.
When asked which of the five goals was the best, he replied, “It’s blurry. I remember shooting, but I can’t remember after that. It was difficult because I had too many celebrations.”
As for what came in the 63rd minute, he laughed: “I told Guardiola I wanted to do a double hat-trick. But what can I do?”
