You can find it all the time! Palace defender explains why Haaland-style strikers are less of a threat.
The Crystal Palace defender made it clear why the Norwegian’s signature striker doesn’t scare him much, but rather a different kind of forward.
Despite his form dropping a bit, from the fans’ perspective, Erling Haaland sharp finishing is still a threat to every team’s defense.
However, if asked from the perspective of a defender of a small team like Crystal Palace, the answer is that the Norwegian national team’s striker is no longer so scary.
Because there is another style of striker Who is more frightening and difficult to deal with.
This is a tip which goes back to my schoolboy days when my coach at the FA’s School of Excellence in Lilleshall, Keith Blunt, told me to “stop fighting people who are bigger than you”.
Back then I was a 14-year-old เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย centre-forward with a tendency to get involved in physical contests no matter how winnable. As a late developer I initially lacked the physical attributes which came to the fore later, although the principles remained whenever facing bigger and stronger opponents.
You cannot completely keep away from your direct opponent, of course, but with experience comes the knowledge that you need to pick your battles and identify the right areas in which to duel.
It is a psychological as much as a physical test in the biggest fixtures against the best players, recognising what you are up against and trying to work out what the opponent wants you to do most, and what they enjoy least.
That is the challenge for Martínez, Raphaël Varane or anyone facing Haaland.
