Sportweek: Haaland is on the cover

The new phenomenon – as well as the last diamond of Raiola jewelery before closing – is Erling Haaland. Twenty-two years old, Norwegian born in Leeds where his father Alfie played, after having highlighted in Borussia Dortmund this year he is crushing records with Guardiola’s Manchester City shirt, who for a center forward like him has renounced his own philosophy, that of false nueve. On Tuesday, in the Champions League in Copenhagen, after 9 games with the Citizens always on target, he didn’t score just because … he didn’t play, otherwise since he was under Pep’s orders he has already scored 20 goals in 13 appearances. For all these reasons, he is the cover man of Sportweek on newsstands tomorrow with the Gazzetta dello Sport at the total price of 2 euros.

They say about him

–

The coach (“I have not taught him anything, he is doing what he has always done with the only difference of having overcome those small physical problems that previously prevented him from playing continuously”), his teammates (“We go out on the pitch always expecting who scores, and I don’t see how you can stop him “, says Grealish among others) and the first coach as a child (” He was also a talent in the long jump, he’s a comet that passes every 100 years “) tell who Haaland is and why it scores so much. But he explains the secret: “The lasagna that dad cooks for me”.

The investigation

Once such a talent would certainly have arrived in Serie A. But for some time our league has no longer had the attractiveness of twenty years ago, despite the extraordinary increase in the number of foreigners: we have gone from 30% of admissions in the years gold to 60 and above this. The reason is not so much technical as it is fiscal, as explained by our investigation in which, among others, Albertini, president of the federal technical sector, and the former coach Donadoni intervene. To stay with football, in addition to Alberto Zaccheroni’s Top 11, Vlasic’s sister and Milik’s partner accompany us to the Turin derby that will be played tomorrow.

Basketball and …

We then present the NBA championship which begins this week with a 10-page special in which we analyze team by team and which we frame thanks to the words of Simone Fontecchio, Utah Jazz blue forward: “I can’t wait to face LeBron, my idol as a child. But I won’t ask him for the shirt. ” Finally, staying in the United States, do not miss the interview with Bob Beamon, the man who jumped 8 meters and 90 cm in length in Mexico City in the 1968 Games, a world record that endured 23 years: “Dell’Italia I only have wonderful memories. My myth? Juantorena. And Jacobs comes to run in the US: here people barely know him. ” That leap of him, however, we always remember.
