Erling Braut Haaland lost on Tuesday evening with Borussia Dortmund on a visit to Manchester City (2-1). After the quarterfinals of the Champions League, the Norwegian striker had BVB a remarkable get-together with Phil Foden. Both players put their hands over their mouths, which made it impossible to perceive what they were saying. Jack van Gelder enters the studio of Ziggo Sport with a theory.
Foden and Haaland got along remarkably well after the game and hugged each other. There have been rumors for a long time that Manchester City is interested in Haaland, to which Van Gelder picks up. “He could have said, ‘I’m sorry it happened, but I’ll be playing with you next season anyway.’ And that Foden says: “You have to live near me, that’s great fun. You also have to go to school, right?” It could just be. In any case, it is a nice theory. “
Youri Mulder agrees with the presenter. “I think so, yes,” says the former striker. “If there is one club in the world that can afford it, it is City. There are not many left.” Haaland did not score himself, but delivered a nice assist by subtly tapping the ball to Marco Reus. “I thought a number of times in the first half that he just had to go deep, but he was served a number of times”, says Mulder about Haaland.

Mulder is critical of goalscorer Reus. “There has been a lot to do about him in Germany this week,” says the analyst. “He was substituted by Edin Terzic against Eintracht Frankfurt, they lost that game 1-2. He was exasperatingly slow, actually got the whole of Germany over him. He threw away his captain’s armband. And I didn’t think he was a good game today. Lots of ball loss. You just expect more from him. That free kick should also be better, it should be on goal, at the very least. ” Reus shot the free ball into the wall from the edge of the penalty area. “He couldn’t make his mark”, Mulder concludes.
