Mention the name “Haaland” to the average soccer fan www.thetopsoccer.com/club-team-kit/manchester-city , particularly someone from England, and thoughts might go back to one of the most vicious fouls ever committed in the Premier League.That day in 2001, Alf-Inge Haaland — playing for Manchester City at the time — was on the receiving end of a studs-first challenge on his right knee by Manchester United captain Roy Keane at Old Trafford that brought about threats of legal action and resulted in a long ban for Keane.Eighteen years on, there’s another Haaland rising to prominence and with a strong likelihood of making a name for himself in English soccer.Erling Braut Haaland, the 19-year-old son of Alfe-Inge, is one of the most talked about young players in the world around because of his scoring exploits on the youth international scene with Norway, in the domestic league in Austria and — most recently — in the Champions League.By netting three first-half goals for Salzburg against Genk on Tuesday, he became the third-youngest player to score a Champions League hat trick , after Raul Gonzalez for Real Madrid and Wayne Rooney for Man United, and took his season tally for the Austrian club to 17 goals in nine games. That now includes four hat tricks.Oh, and there’s also the small matter of Haaland scoring nine goals for Norway in an Under-20 World Cup game against Honduras in May. It wasn’t a surprise that he was immediately called up to the senior Norwegian national team, making his debut in the recent European Championship qualifiers against Malta and Sweden.Standing at 1.94 meters (6-feet-3) and easily identifiable with his broad shoulders and swept-back blond hair, Haaland cannot be missed on the field. Still a teenager, he is already an intimidating presence by the way he can shrug off opponents and drive forward with the ball at his feet. He clearly knows where the goal is, too.No real shock, then, that he is already being linked with some of Europe’s biggest clubs, including in England — where he was born while Alf-Inge was a Premier League player.“His heart is close to England so he’d like an opportunity to go to England, maybe even in January,” said Pål Fjelde, a former teammate of the younger Haaland at Norwegian side Bryne. “I’m not putting more pressure on him, but as long as he keeps his attitude and his feet on the ground Cheap Manchester United Soccer Team Uniform , he will continue to progress.“This is just the start.”Haaland has already spoken of one day playing for Leeds, the northern city where he was born (his father played for Leeds). Fjelde also says he has heard Haaland speak about Man City — his father’s final club before retirement in 2003 at the age of 30 because of a serious knee injury. The Haaland family then moved back to Norway, when Erling was 3.Given what happened to his father at Old Trafford all those years back, a move for Haaland to the red half of Manchester appears unlikely, even if United is now managed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer — a compatriot who recently coached Haaland at Norwegian team Molde for two seasons from 2017.“He is probably not the world’s biggest Manchester United fan,” Solskjaer said Wednesday. “But if they come to the door, there are not many who say no to that.”Fjelde recalls Haaland making his senior debut at age 15 for Bryne, a small town in southwest Norway, in May 2016. Haaland cut a tall but slight figure — “he was only bones,” Fjelde said — but had uncanny movement for a player so young and was not overawed in the locker room alongside experienced players double his age.“Most youngsters don’t do the kind of runs he did when he was 15 or 16,” Fjelde said in a phone interview.When Haaland first started playing soccer, said Fjelde, who also coaches the Under-15 team at Bryne, youth coaches took him out of training sessions and had to reduce his workload because he was growing so quickly and they were afraid he’d get injured.Haaland has always regarded soccer as a bit of fun and still returns to Bryne, where his parents live, for kickabouts with his friends in the local indoor hall.Fjelde, who still keeps in touch with Haaland and met up with him this summer in Norway, says the teenager is the biggest thing to come out of Norway since Martin Odegaard, who left boyhood Norwegian side Stromsgodset at age 16 to move to Real Madrid in 2015 but has never established himself at the Spanish giant.Haaland is taking a different route to the top by moving to Salzburg instead of one of Europe’s more high-profile teams.“Maybe the step was too big for Martin at the time. It’s different with Erling,” Fjelde said. “He is very down to earth. He has got his feet on the ground.”Given what happened on his Champions League debut, which Haaland said gave him “a feeling in my body I never had before,” he will be under intense scrutiny for Salzburg’s next group game — at Anfield against European champion Liverpool on Oct. 2.Alf-Inge Haaland scored there for Leeds in the Premier League in 1997 and www.thetopsoccer.com/club-team-kit/marseilles , at the current rate, his son could easily match that achievement.Expect him to star in English football’s most storied stadiums for years to come. Jose Mourinho’s charm offensive has been in overdrive during his whirlwind first few days at Tottenham.He has lauded Tottenham’s training complex as being “second to none” and without comparison across Europe “at any level.” He says he has slept in the club’s pajamas at its on-site hotel which he rates as “six star,” with its “soft pillows, amazing duvet.”Now it’s time for a first taste of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium “the best stadium in the world,” he has purred as Mourinho continues his quest to win over fans who might still be skeptical about his appointment.Getting the team through to the knockout stage of the Champions League wouldn’t do him any harm in the ingratiation process.Three days after guiding Spurs to a Premier League victory at West Ham in his first match since replacing Mauricio Pochettino, Mourinho will take charge of them in a home match for the first time when Olympiakos visits Tuesday in the Champions League.A victory guarantees progress out of Group B alongside Bayern Munich with a game to spare.It would complete a decent week’s work for Mourinho as he attempts to rebuild his coaching reputation after a fractious, and ultimately disappointing, 2½ year spell at Manchester United that ended almost 12 months ago.The Portuguese coach hugged his players and kept a respectful distance from the traveling Spurs fans while he celebrated the 3-2 win against West Ham on Saturday. It might take some time for them to accept Mourinho and take him to their hearts, especially considering the work Pochettino did in raising standards at Tottenham even getting the team to a Champions League final last season when it lost to Liverpool.Mourinho has done that with Porto and Inter Milan, winning the title match on both occasions, so is seeking to become the first manager to win European club soccer’s biggest prize with three different clubs all from different countries. None of them could be classed as modern-day continental heavyweights, either, making that achievement all the more impressive.“The gaffer’s won at every club he’s gone to there’s no hiding away from that,” Tottenham striker Harry Kane said. “He wants to win. He’s a proven winner. I’ve made it clear that I’m at the stage of my career where I want to win trophies.“Realistically we look at the Champions League and the FA Cup this season to try and do that … You could say that (Mourinho could make the difference) because of his reputation. It’s been three days so, until we build that relationship and see how things get on over the next two or three months, we won’t really know.”The closest Mourinho has come to winning the Champions League since that 2010 triumph with Inter was a trio of semifinal appearances all with Real Madrid in 2011, ’12 and ’13. He got Manchester United out of its group last season, only to get fired before the knockout stages even began.If he was happy to be back in the Premier League his “natural habitat,” he called it at the weekend, imagine how he will feel making a return to the Champions League arena.“Give me time, give me time to develop my ideas and we will have no problem going to play any team in Europe,” Mourinho said Monday. “We are not afraid of anyone.”Three teams have already qualified after four of the six rounds of games: Bayern Cheap Real Madrid Soccer Team Uniform , Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus.RESTED RONALDOSeeking a win to advance along with Juventus in Group D, Atletico Madrid is well aware of the dangers of a rested Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo took some time off before the second leg of the last 16 in the Champions League last season and responded with a hat trick against the Spanish team as Juventus overturned a 2-0 deficit.Ronaldo was rested again at the weekend, for Juve’s 3-1 win at Atalanta, as he continues to recover from a knee injury.Ronaldo showed little sign of any problem while playing for Portugal in the recent European Championship qualifiers, scoring a hat trick in one match and also netting in another.Juventus is looking to secure top spot in the group with a win on Tuesday.FAVRE UNDER PRESSUREBorussia Dortmund coach Lucien Favre has little room for error ahead of the side’s trip to Barcelona on Wednesday.A win would put the German side, which is a point behind first-place Barca in Group F, through to the knockout stage, but the manner of Dortmund’s performance will have a big say in Favre’s future.Dortmund fans reacted with fury after a 3-3 draw with last-place Paderborn in the Bundesliga on Friday, berating the players after their latest lackluster performance in a signal that their patience is wearing thin.Barcelona can seal first place in the group with a win.REAL REVENGEReal Madrid can qualify from Group A and gain a measure of revenge by beating PSG on Tuesday. PSG overwhelmed Madrid 3-0 in Paris in September, a result that left Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane under some pressure.“We’re in better shape,” said Zidane, whose team is only behind Barcelona in the Spanish league on goal difference. “We had a tough game in Paris, but that’s in the past.”Group C leader Manchester City will advance by beating Shakhtar Donetsk at home on Tuesday. Liverpool has a one-point lead over Napoli heading into their meeting Wednesday in Group E, in which Salzburg is a further four points back before its game against out-of-contention Genk.In Group H, Ajax, Chelsea and Valencia are all on seven points. Valencia hosts Chelsea on Wednesday, when Ajax travels to Lille.In Group G, Leipzig and Lyon can advance by beating Benfica and Zenit St. Petersburg, respectively, on Wednesday.
