Erling Haaland says he would have chosen Manchester City team-mate Ederson Moraes to take the penalty to save his life.
In a Q&A with Optus Sport’s Jack Grealish, the Norwegian superstar didn’t hesitate before opting for £35m (target). Erling Haaland has revealed that every Manchester City player will be automatically selected to take a penalty to save Ederson from death’s door.
Erling Haaland saved Ederson’s life by picking him out for Manchester City and winning a penalty.
The 30-year-old has been hailed as ‘elite’ in the Premier League and is often credited with taking huge penalties.
Ahead of this season’s Champions League final, the Brazilian admitted he was “ready” to shoot the ball from 12 yards.
Erling Haaland also appeared to trust Ederson when he took the penalty. “Simple Ederson. simple.
“I just feel like I’m falling apart!” he said.
Ederson has the ability to execute on the fly
Some people might be surprised by this answer, but Erling Haaland is well aware of how technically competent Ederson is.
There aren’t many goalkeepers better than Benfica’s former number one when it comes to passing and shooting.
Furthermore, Ederson is known for his cool-headed approach on the ball, which could be the reason behind his technique.
With all these factors in mind, the five-time Premier League winner would be an excellent penalty taker.
Ederson was often seen taking free-kicks during training and it is no exaggeration to say that the goalkeeper had no chance of stopping his goal, showing that his belief was unfounded.
