Borussia Dortmund star Julian Brandt has talked up the speed of striker Erling Haaland.
The two were teammates at Dortmund, with Haaland signing for the club in 2019 and Brandt arriving around the same time.
When Erling [Haaland] moved to BVB, the very strict Covid-19 period soon arrived," Brandt told SportBILD.
"And because of the rules, we were only allowed to train in teams of two.
"Erling was my training partner. It was really incredible how quickly he was able to improve his weaknesses.
His heading game. The first touch. His right foot. Not even remotely comparable to Erling Haaland today. Three months later I thought: My God, how did he manage to improve it all so quickly?"
