The 22-year-old Norwegian has become a nightmare for defenders, and now apparently, he has a teenage cousin who’s just as gifted as him.
The Sensational Erling Haaland
Haaland has swiftly adjusted to his life in the Premier League ever since his arrival at Manchester City. He has made a seamless transition into one of the most widely considered physically challenging leagues.
And now, it’s learned that the young Norwegian forward has a cousin who’s looking just as dangerous as him with his insane amount of goals.
The 6 feet 5 giant has amazing physical as well as technical prowess coupled with an outrageous game IQ. Haaland has proven to have formidable dribbling ability and great self-positioning skills to make sure he’s always one step ahead.
All these skills have led to him bagging an astonishing 20 goals in just 13 games this season. And the best part is that he is just 22 years old.
Moreover, Haaland has been scoring hat-trick after hat-trick, including one against Manchester United. On September 5, Haaland further proved himself after becoming the first player to score 25 goals in their first 20 Champions League games.
To better understand this feat, Lionel Messi had only bagged eight, and Cristiano Ronaldo was yet to hit to score at that stage.
With all this excitement around him, fans are now eager to know whether his cousin will produce the same impact.
Erling Haaland’s Cousin Albert Braut Tjaland
Erling Haaland’s Cousin Albert Braut Tjaland is certainly not another average player. The 18-year-old is another goal-scoring machine with a stunning 69 goals in 48 games for Bryne’s youth side.
He is currently at Molde, where he scored during his professional debut. The youngster stands at 5 feet 10 inches, and although he may not possess the physical attributes as his cousin, he certainly makes up for it in other areas.
The teenage forward has great movement and superb finishing ability. Moreover, the youngster has incredible shot power stored in his right foot, which has often left opposition goalkeepers completely flabbergasted.
Statements And Interview
Albert’s manager stated in an interview with Eurosport:
He has a great future ahead of him if he does the everyday things 100% and correctly. But I think that Erling is still a few steps ahead. He [Tjaaland] is an exciting boy with many good qualities.
Despite all the comparisons to Haaland, the 18-year-old isn’t too bothered by it. During an interview, he stated:
It’s cool what he does. But I hear about it often, and it can be nice to let it go from time to time. In the short term, I really want to get into the age-specific national team. In the long run, I hope to be able to make a living from playing football.
