Liverpool faced him in the Community Shield and stopped him, but this game will be different. Jurgen Klopp even praised Haaland as a special striker, comparing him to AC Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic. "That close (a striker like Haaland)? Maybe not, but there are other tall, physical, technical strikers. Maybe not exactly the same. Zlatan, who is extraordinary, tall for example," Klopp explained to Goal. "For Erling the problem is that he puts so much together. It's rare you have that. The finish was obviously superb but he moves so smartly, and that makes it complicated." "You can only use speed if you use it smartly. Just running doesn't help. You have to get the ball, you have to be patient enough not to run away, things like this. The package makes it special, obviously." The only team that can stop Haaland from scoring in the Premier League is Bournemouth, although they lost 4-0 in August last year. Interesting to see Haaland's duel against tall Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk.
