Haaland’s Response to Endrick Preferring to Play with Mbappé: “No Pro…
The debate between Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland seems poised to echo the one between Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo over the past two decades. While they are entirely different players, their remarkable qualities are undeniable.
In a recent interview, Endrick was asked to choose between the two forwards. The Brazilian was honest, taking his time to respond but ultimately favoring Kylian Mbappé. Perhaps it was a matter of personal preference or a closer match to his playing style.
Erling Haaland heard these statements, and contrary to what some might have expected, he did not take it personally; quite the opposite. “No problem, we all have our favorites,” commented the Manchester City striker to those around him.
This has not changed their relationship at all, as there is mutual respect on both sides, even though they have never spoken. Haaland believes that Endrick will become one of the best forwards in the world in the future, and who knows, maybe in a few seasons, they will compete to see who scores more goals.
Different Styles of Play Endrick is a more associative forward, known for his flair and dribbling skills. On the other hand, Erling Haaland relies on his physicality and, with his height, excels in aerial duels but may find it challenging to showcase certain virtues that the Brazilian possesses.
They could potentially be compatible on the same team, perhaps in a 4-4-2 system or a formation where Endrick plays as a right winger—an option for the Palmeiras player, as he has the qualities to thrive in that position as well.
