The Borussia Dortmund forward, Erling Haaland never tires of breaking goals. His personal numbers are really incredible, and he is a key piece for his team to always appear in the foreground of the continent. Although he is accompanied by great figures, many of them in the process, and almost as promising as the Norwegian, the forward was consulted by that legend with whom he would have liked to play, and he may not have the taste, unless professionally.

To everyone's surprise, Erling did not answer according to what logic demanded, or at least many expected to hear. The truth is that he did not go with Ronaldo Nazário, Ronaldinho, Zinedine Zidane, Kaká or all the great names that are usually heard when doing this type of dynamics on historical references with the players of the new generation. His surprising answer is that he admires Frank Lampard, so without hesitation, he answered that the figure he would choose would be the eternal captain of Chelsea.

And it is normal that being a center forward, Haaland thought more of a partner who would complement his game. And Lampard was not just any player, if not, we would have to ask Didier Drogba to see what he thinks. It is that, without a doubt, Lampard must have had a lot to do, in a few goals of the 104 that the Ivorian scored with the Blues shirt.

And as if that weren't enough, Frank became the soccer player with the most goals in the entire history of Chelsea, he is still the midfielder who has scored the most in the Premier League, he registered more than 300 official goals as a professional and came to be in the top 3 of the Ballon d'Or. In addition, he was a three-time Premier League champion, four-time FA Cup champion, two-time League Cup champion, two-time Community Shield champion, UEFA Champions League champion and UEFA Europa League champion with Chelsea. Eternal Legacy at Stamford Bridge.

 

Erling Haaland, scary numbers

While it is true that Erling Braut Haaland is one of the great promises of world football, to brand him solely as a promise would be disrespectful to him. His potential is tremendous, and even more so considering his age, but without a doubt, we must also highlight his present. Their numbers are really scary, and their price increases every weekend that Borussia Dortmund plays. So much so, that he has scored 43 goals in the 44 games he has played for the northern German team, and more goals (27) than games (26) this season.
