They’re just doing what they do best: scoring goals!
Robert Lewandowski (34) and Erling Haaland (22) continue to cause a sensation after leaving the Bundesliga. Lewandowski moved from FC Bayern to Spain to FC Barcelona. Haaland moved from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City in the English Premier League.
Former star Jan Age Fjörtoft has now praised the extra class of the two exceptional strikers. The Norwegian writes in his column for “kicker”: “The amazing thing about both is that they apparently don’t need any time to acclimatize. They just keep hitting it.”
Fjörtoft’s compatriot Haaland and the Polish international Lewandowski are “alongside Karim Benzema, Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappé and Sadio Mané, the best strikers in the world”.
Ex-BVB clipper Haaland has scored ten goals in his first six games in the Premier League. An impressive quota and a real dream start for the Norwegian. Lewandowski has also snapped six times in five LaLiga games. Both lead the scorer list in their league.
According to Fjörtoft, the world-class strikers are also doing away with a Bundesliga myth. “Which also undermines how much easier it is supposedly to score goals in the Bundesliga. They succeed everywhere, ”explained the former Frankfurt striker. The decisive factor for this is the game intelligence of the striker.
There will probably not be a direct duel for the time being. In the past Bundesliga seasons, both stars fought a gripping duel for the top scorer cannon. However, in the end, the former Bayern star always had the edge over the former Dortmund player. But if Haaland’s run continues, he could actually end up ahead of Lewandowski in the top scorer list this season. The prerequisite for this, however, is that he is spared from injuries. These had recently slowed him down again and again.
