Former Real Madrid player Antonio Cassano believes Erling Haaland “isn’t special” and that his teammate at Manchester City Julián Alvárez has “more quality”, according to the Italian on the Twitch channel Boba TV. The Norwegian is intractable at the beginning of the season and already he has scored 10 goals in his first 6 games for City, including two consecutive hat-tricks.
Despite the criticism, Cassano compared Haaland with other Serie A legends like Adriano or Vieri. The Brazilian had one of the most dominant peaks of form this century and scored 77 goals in 180 games for Italy. Vieri, a few years older than Adriano, was one of the best strikers of the 1990s, scoring 142 goals in 264 games.
