Haaland's Mentality on Par with Ronaldo, says Bernardo Silva

Bernardo Silva, the Manchester City midfielder, has praised his teammate Erling Haaland and compared his mindset to that of Cristiano Ronaldo. Silva, who also plays alongside Ronaldo in the Portuguese national team, said that Haaland possesses a similar drive to always score as the legendary Ronaldo.

Haaland, who joined Manchester City in the summer of 2022, has already set numerous records and made an impact on the team. He has scored an astonishing 49 goals across all competitions for Pep Guardiola’s side, a feat that Silva believes is comparable to the levels achieved by Ronaldo and Messi.

Silva expressed his hopes that Haaland would continue his remarkable goal-scoring streak, saying, “The goal figures, it’s unbelievable; it’s Cristiano and Messi level, that amount of goals. Hopefully Erling can keep going that way…”

The midfielder went on to praise Haaland’s mentality and determination, saying, “He has definitely got the same mentality as Cristiano…” This is high praise indeed, given Ronaldo’s reputation as one of the most hardworking and driven players in the history of the game.

Haaland’s incredible form was on full display in Manchester City’s recent Premier League match against Arsenal. He scored one goal and provided an assist as the team secured a crucial victory in the title race. With Haaland in such scintillating form and Silva praising his mentality, it seems that Manchester City have a real gem on their hands.
