Manchester City's "monster striker" Erling Holland recently had to be heavily criticized. It was the so-called "Holland uselessness theory." 스포츠토토
The bottom line is that Manchester City is a more lively and attractive team without Holland. Critics say that Hollande is limited in the box and is standing still and staring at the ball. In other words, he doesn't move much. He is leading the league with 25 goals in the EPL, but Hollande's theory of uselessness has received a boost. Manchester United legend Roy Keane once criticized Holland for being "like a fourth division league."
Manchester City won a landslide 4-0 victory over Fulham on Wednesday. Holland started as a starter. However, he failed to score a goal. He was substituted in the 37th minute of the second half, and Julián Álvarez, who replaced Holland in the 37th minute of the second half, scored one goal during extra time. Holland's "no use" could be rekindled.
Holland was not intimidated by this. Instead, he spoke confidently to his critics. Holland recently had an interview with Men in Blazers, where he shared his thoughts to his critics.
Holland said, "There's always been a debate about how many times I have to touch the ball. When I score, no one talks about this. But if I don't score, all of a sudden people start to mention the number of touches on my ball. I can't play like Rodri. My role is not to control the game with as much activity as Rodri does. It's my role to finish the attack in the box."
"I can play soccer without touching the ball a lot. This may sound funny to some, but the perception that you can actually play soccer and do so on the field is also important. It's a big part of the game of soccer. You can influence the game without owning a lot of the ball, and you don't evaluate the game and the players by the amount of time the ball is under your feet for 90 minutes. I'm focused and faithful to my role in this team. This is my focus," he added.
Finally, Holland said, "I don't care what people say about me. I'm helping the team, I'm focusing on the team winning. This is part of my life, the way people talk. I can't control what people say. I'm just going to focus on what I have to do on the pitch."
