2021. There are classic in Germany. There are Dortmund-Bayern. There are Haaland-Lewandowski. Obviously, the category of the two forwards marks the comparisons between them. The debate about which is better is common and complex. Lewandowski was named second of the Golden Ball this week; Haaland’s award awaits in the future, or so it seems. One thing is clear: to follow in Lewandowski’s wake, the Norwegian must leave the Borussia sooner. This summer, if possible.
2009. The best way to compare footballers is to place them in the same context. Sit down: Haaland is 21 years old and has been scoring for two and a half in the Bundesliga and the Champions. Half Europe walk behind him. At his age, Lewandowski played in the Lech Poznan, sometimes as a right winger, he had just debuted with Poland and it sounded for a Dortmund in Europa League. The Norwegian comes with a much-needed initial media boost for individual accolades. And that was always lacking for Lewandowski.
Future. Qatar has returned to the news this week for the statements of his CEO, Nasser Al Khater, in reference to human rights in the country. Also because the Arab Cup, a proving ground with which the host of the world gets ready. Same as the FIFA and his operations team. From Welsh, Far from there, they test an analytical system of real-time data from the players participating in the tournament. It is the prelude, for example, of automatic offside. The next great revolution.
Across the pond. On the other side of the pond you have to talk about Solari and his America. After breaking all the records in the regular phase of the Liga MX, fell with a crash before Pumas in the quarterfinal round of the playoff. Not only that. All criticism for the approach has fallen on him and he could leave office shortly. That’s how painful football has become. Not even Madrid in Mexico has patience with good coaches.
Today we discover… Hannibal Mejbri (2003). Exhibition with the United before him Villarreal on the Youth league a few days ago, then he repeated his performance with the absolute Tunisia versus Mauritania on the Arab Cup. The Red Devil set paid 10 million to Monaco for him, but France, where he was born, he was unable to retain him for their national teams. It is pure talent. The typical street player.
