AHEAD of Sunday’s Premier League fixture between Liverpool and Manchester City at Anfield, Liverpool's manager, Jurgen Klopp talked about Manchester City’s striker, Erling Haaland.
Klopp was no doubt full of praise for the striker who currently tops the Premier League top goal scorer of the season, as he compared him to former Barcelona and Manchester United forward, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
When asked by GOAL if he could compare Haaland to anyone, Klopp said: "That close? Maybe not, but there were other tall, physical, technical strikers. Maybe not exactly the same. Zlatan, who is exceptional, is tall for example.
"For Erling, the thing is that he combines so many things. It's rare that you have that. His finishing skills are obviously exceptional but he moves really smart, and that makes him tricky. You only can use speed if you use it in a smart way. Just running is not helpful. You have to get the ball, you have to be patient enough not to run offside, and stuff like this. The package makes it special, for sure."
Premier League fixtures between the two clubs have over the past years been one of the biggest games. Liverpool after an excellent performance against Rangers during the week would be fighting to take down an unbeaten Manchester City side who could only manage a draw against Copenhagen on Tuesday, October 11, 2022.
