Erling Haaland, a nominee for the 2023 Ballon d’Or, stated in a detailed interview with France Football that he has a real chance of winning the prize, which is the most coveted individual honor in football.
With Pep Guardiola’s treble-winning team this past season, the Manchester City striker netted an astounding 56 goals across all competitions.
Together with PSG forward Kylian Mbappé and 2022 World Cup victor Lionel Messi, Haaland is arguably one of the favorites to succeed Karim Benzema as the world’s best football player.
Haaland remained vague when asked by the weekly magazine if he regarded himself as the best forward in the world.
“To me, it all depends on what we mean when we talk about a striker.
The query is a ruse.
I’m definitely there.
Maybe I’m the best.”.
During the interview, Haaland said he truly believes he will win the Ballon d’Or on October 30.
I’m still young, so I know I have a long way to go in terms of improvement.
However, I do think I have a chance this year.”.
Haaland also discussed his style of play, which heavily relies on his unmatched sense of position in the penalty area.
This is obviously a combination of work and instinct.
The belief that the ball will appear in a specific location is known as instinct; it is a kind of subconscious sixth sense.
In addition to that, you must put in a lot of effort, develop your unique talents, and comprehend your teammates.
It’s an awareness of the game combined with the gut feeling that “It’s now”.
Haaland also tells France Football that he never questions his abilities and that he feels unique among the players.
“I hope that my playing will be remembered as being unique.
Each week, I try to accomplish this goal of showcasing noteworthy content.”.
