The former great Italian coach was lenient towards Erling Haaland after the Norwegian's disappointing match in Madrid.
Former Merengue coach Fabio Capello defended Erling Haaland after the spectacular 3-3 draw between Manchester City and Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
The Norwegian center forward was ghosted at the Bernabeu on Tuesday evening. Well muzzled by Antonio Rudiger, he only touched 22 balls. This is the worst total for a player who played this entry match.
For Capello, Haaland couldn't do better
Despite this record, Haaland was entitled to leniency from Capello. “When you play against teams of a certain level, there is no possibility of obtaining as many shooting opportunities as in the championship,” judged the Italian technician. There was a cross, then other balls did not arrive. He only had one chance and Lunin saved it, and then there were no more.”
The European champion coach in 1994 was much harsher in his judgment of Jude Bellingham. “I saw a lot of commitment at Bellingham, but little quality,” he estimated.
