The expectation of being the world’s best soccer player is to score in important matches. Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe are in regular competition to prove themselves as the best in the world of this generation. After all the heavy performances last season, both had a reasonable start to this season. However, Haaland was ditched by an old Premier League star in a conflict with a former MLS player.

Manchester City lost to Arsenal in the Premier League game last week after eight years. You may feel like other teams are feeling better to see the Manchester team being vulnerable. Their 22-year-old star player was disappointing the last few games. But one pundit went a long mile to defend the Manchester City player despite other’s criticism.

Former Venezuelan player gets upset over Erling Haaland being ignored

Haaland’s inability to score in crunch games may have affected Manchester City and the opinion he created. Not only going off into his own zone like a Zombie, but Haaland can also go blank, leaving the team vulnerable in the attack. However, in a recent episode of the podcast ESPN FC, the former player Ale Moreno got passionate about Erling Haaland. The former MLS star argued after Don Hutchinson didn’t pick Haaland in his Premier League team for this season.

Moreno said, “Yes, I can because there is no best eleven in the Premier League, no best eleven at any point in the Premier League that should not involve Erling Haaland.”

Moreno was strong on his word, saying that in whatever situation, Erling Haaland should feature on the Premier League team. The list was the team of the present season until now, with eight game weeks done. Hutchinson was backing the City forward’s exclusion from his team by calling out his current form and said “You can’t say he is on top form in the eight games.”

However, Ale refused to agree since he felt the striker carried great momentum from last season. The former Venezuelan forward also said despite the current form, Haaland is still the top scorer in the league.

Hutchinson ditches Haaland for lesser goalscorers

Haaland, even though not at his best, has scored 8 goals in eight games this season.

But the forward still failed to impress the former West Ham midfielder. Don went for Alexander Isak, Son Heung-min, and Mohamed Salah. In reaction, Moreno also said that he would go for Haaland instead of all three players.

Manchester City, after starting the tournament with wins in its first 6 games, could not maintain the lead. The Premier League has seen something different this season with Tottenham Hotspur getting to the top of the table leaving City in the third spot. Despite Kevin De Bruyne’s absence, Haaland still needs to step up to keep up with the expectations.
