Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo has heaped praise on Erling Haaland, expressing his belief that it is futile to try to stop the Norwegian and Manchester City star from scoring goals.
Semenyo, who plays for Bournemouth in the Premier League, commended Haaland’s skills and abilities on the pitch. Haaland, who made the move to the Premier League from the Bundesliga in 2022, has been setting the football world alight with his impressive goal-scoring record.
In the previous season, Haaland netted an impressive 27 goals in 31 games, adding to the 36 goals he scored in his debut season. Semenyo highlighted Haaland’s physical attributes and finishing abilities, describing him as the ideal striker.
“He’s tall, strong, fast, and he can finish. He’s got everything you need as a striker,” Semenyo said. “The aura he carries on the pitch is unmatched. If you don’t mark him, he will score, and even if you do, he still finds a way to score.”
Haaland has dominated the Premier League since his arrival, winning the Golden Boot and several other accolades. In his debut season, he achieved the remarkable feat of securing a treble of the Premier League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League titles. He was also honored with the prestigious UEFA Men’s Player of the Year award.
Semenyo expressed his admiration for Haaland’s skill and success, stating that the Norwegian forward is the type of player he aspires to become. Haaland’s impact on the pitch continues to impress fans and players alike, solidifying his reputation as one of the best strikers in the world.
