DBasia.news – Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said he was happy his club could have a striker as powerful as Erling Haaland.
Since officially joining Dortmund in January, Erling Haaland immediately proved his ability. He managed to score nine goals in just 349 minutes. That is, Haaland always scores every 38 minutes.
“We always want to have a center forward who has a different way of playing football. This is not about second strikers, but classic number nine players who are physically tall. But this person must also be on the exchange first, “Watzke said at Soccerway.
“There aren’t many who are 1.94 meters tall and as fast as Erling Haaland. Actually, no one else crossed my mind. It’s just an opportunity that you rarely get. I’ve followed the progress a little longer. I first met him in December. I think the two of us quickly felt that it could be something. “
“He is still very young but has a great will. He has physical attributes and is very focused. This is certainly good for us. Basically, Scandinavian players are very motivated, very thirsty for success and very good men.
“Erling Haaland made all this happen. He has a good character and has an irresistible will. Even in training! This is a good story, “Watzke added.
