Before the game against Leipzig, Kevin De Bruyne pointed out why Erling Haaland had a much harder time scoring.

According to the Manchester Evening News, midfielder Kevin De Bruyne recently pointed out the biggest reason why Erling Haaland could not shoot regularly like at the beginning of the season. The Norwegian striker has scored 28 goals so far, but the pace has slowed significantly since the end of the World Cup.

“I think other teams are more predictable about his movement, the teams are getting more organized and especially in the second half of the season, every team has its own goals. Therefore, it is natural for Erling to have difficulty because they are all trying to stop our main goalscorer.”

” In the match against Palace , Haaland played very well . However the opponent had a tight defense and we could not get the ball to his feet in the best way . There were also a few opportunities that were found. Haaland but it’s very little.” De Bruyne shared about the reason why Haaland scored fewer goals in the post-WC 2022 period.

Obviously, The Citizens’ satellites are always very well taken care of, making Haaland less likely to receive the ball in favorable positions to finish. Ever since Premier League defenders became aware of the Norwegian striker’s constant danger, a lot of attention has been focused on the player with evidence of at least two defenders attached. every time Haaland appeared in the box.

This will probably help RB Leipzig have a good way to stop Pep Guardiola’s heavy cannon, especially when they have to come to the Etihad. The defense of the German representative is not overestimated in terms of cohesion and solidity, but a plan to “catch Haaland to death” is entirely possible. Similar to the first leg match, when the Norwegian striker “failed” in front of Leipzig’s organized defense .
