Almost four months after his arrival at Manchester City, Erling Haland does not stop scoring goals: in the first twelve games he scored 19 goals and is the Premier League top scorer with 14 goals, double his immediate pursuer, Harry Kane. In addition, he is also the top scorer in the Champions League. They call the Norwegian “Android” and, by dint of breaking networks, his nickname has penetrated deeper and deeper into British fans. So much so that a group of fans collected thousands of signatures to expel him from the English championship. But the reason they want to ban Erling from English soil is unusual.
Through the Change.org page, a site where people petition to collect signatures and tackle various problems, thousands of fans from different clubs competing around the world have proposed to expel the Norwegian. The reason? They took it seriously from “Android” and accuse the attacker is a robot.
“Petition to remove Erling Haaland from the Premier League for being a robot”, is the title of the campaign. Obviously, the fans still cannot understand the outstanding performance that the City forward is getting in the team where he shares the squad with Julián Álvarez.
The order placed through the virtual platform has exceeded the limit 400,000 signatures to try to satisfy the request. To the striker who will not be part of the World Cup since the time of the Norwegian national team did not classify at the World Cup in Qatar which starts in 45 days, they can’t find the formula to stop the excellent performance at Manchester City.
Since arriving in Manchester to defend the club whose legend is Sergio Agüero, the lost player from Borussia Dortmund has played 12 games and transformed 19 goals. Relentless numbers that surprise the world.
Between those matches he converted three triplets (Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and the last against the classic Manchester United for 6-3), is the Premier League top scorer with 14 goals (double the English Harry Kane, his closest rival) and also drive the board to break the nets in this edition of Champions League with 5 points.
After a post by the 22-year-old player on his official Twitter account, his teammate Aymeric Laporte responded with an image from the petition in which he made changes to the petition. The central has crossed out “Premier League” and replaced it with “soccer”alluding to the fact that, due to his performance, he should have been expelled from the sport.
As part of a nice and unusual request, the fans of the Norwegian’s rivals show their pain when it comes to facing him and also their amazement. Erling, who has only been with Manchester City for four months, paints to continue to amaze and become the great star of world football.
