Erling Haaland is breaking record after record for Manchester City, but legendary defender Alessandro Nesta says he could have stopped the Norwegian forward.

Alessandro Nesta explained how to stop Erling Haaland

Haaland became a “citizen” this summer and has already scored 12 goals in 19 games. Now the 46-year-old Italian Nesta (2006 world champion) gave several examples of legendary attackers with whom he coped brilliantly, and explained how he would try to stop the Norwegian.

“I could have stopped Haland. I did well against the Brazilian Ronaldo. Haaland is very good, but Ronaldo was something else. I played against Messi, Cristiano, but the Brazilian Ronaldo was something else.

How would I block Haaland? I would be very close to him. When he tried to run away from me, I could block him. If you give him room, you’re dead” – Alessandro Nestain an interview.
