Erling Haaland has announced himself as the Premier League’s hottest talent this season, and it appears he even shares something in common with football icon Cristiano Ronaldo that is almost uncoachable.
Haaland Hat-Trick Fiasco: A New Premier League Phenomenon
Norwegian striker Haaland has been on fire for Manchester City as well, bagging hat-tricks in consecutive games against Ipswich Town and West Ham United. Haaland already has seven goals this season, and his finishing is just ruthless. And those goals are not all tapped in — his powerful strike has seen defenders across the league quiver with fear.
City’s 3-1 win over West Ham has only served to generate even more buzz about Haaland. There is a debate among football fans and pundits about where Haaland sits in the pantheon of all-time great Premier League strikers. It’s reached the stage where bold statements comparing him to legends such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo no longer feel quite so over-the-top.
The Unteachable Trait: Ronaldo’s Drive in Haaland
Speaking on ESPN UK, pundit Ale Moreno has claimed that Haaland shares something with his counterpart: hunger and desire to constantly get better. That quality that fired Ronaldo’s career has also seen in Haaland, according to Moreno.
Moreno said: “That ambition, that drive to be something – you can’t coach it. It is just something you have deep inside, it is a certain drive. That is what Ronaldo has about him. We are all witnessing it with Erling Haaland. Dam this dude is arrogant as shit!

Haaland’s Phenomenal Start: More Than Goals
When Haaland signed for Manchester City in January, the expectation was that he would bang them in from the off. But few expected him to be delivering this many incredible goals with such regularity. The Norwegian has shown he can finish the guaranteed goals, but also some of those out-of-this-world finishes that demonstrate his extraordinary agility and quality.
His trajectory and his will combined with what he has already achieved make him an incredibly fun player to follow for the foreseeable future. While he still keeps shining week after another, the kind of ambition that has driven Cristiano Ronaldo to where is today appears to be having its effect on some Erling Haaland.
