Not a year ago that Erling Braut Haaland (Leeds, 2000) surprised the world with nine goals in a match. It was in the U20 World Cup, in the win of his national team, Norway, against Honduras (12-0). In the Nordic country they saw him sign a poker with the Molde, when he still had 17 years. His father, Alf-Inge HaalandHe was a defender who played in Leeds, Nottingham and Manchester City, among others. In this case, his scoring ability does not seem like a genetic issue.

Only four months ago, he landed in the Champions League with Red Bull Salzburg, signing a hat-trick in a formidable first half against the Genk. The Austrian team beat the Belgians 6-2 and the world opened its eyes again to the forcefulness of the spiky (1.94 meters) Nordic striker.

In December, he became the second highest scorer of the Champions League (eight goals), only surpassed by Lewandowski (10), made the decision to change Salzburg to Dortmund. Eight goals in six games for Europe against Liverpool, Naples and Genk himself. The Austrian league was too small. His numbers there: 16 goals in the 14 games of the season and 29 goals in 27 duels with the colors of the team driven by the millions of Red Bull.

A sidereal salary

On December 29, Borussia Dortmund accepted the economic demands of the promising Norwegian tip, apparently about eight million net per year, which threw back more than one large continent (Juve, for example) and paid the 20 million to the Red Bull Salzburg that are worth their freedom.

And in his first chapter in Germany, I did his thing again. I only needed 23 minutes. In the duel against Augsburg, he entered in the 56th minute, replacing Piszczek and with Dortmund losing 2-1. It took only three minutes to release and match the crash. 20 minutes later, in 79, he completed his first hat-trick on Germanic soil. The sixth so far this season.

His team won 3-5 and in the Bundesliga, as happened in Austria or in the Champions League, he is already the fashion forward. Never before has a player debuted in Germany with such a roundness.
