Erling cannot be considered in the same group as Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo after giving up a penalty in the final defeat of the Man City FA Cup against Crystal Palace, says Wayne Rooney.
The city was defeated 1-0 in Wembley by Crystal Palace after Omar Marmous had a penalty in the first half saved by Dean Henderson, who was lucky enough to continue in the field after avoiding a review of the red card by the VAR.
Haaland, the usual penalty of the city, handed the ball to Marmoush with 10 minutes in half and the 1-0 palace above thanks to the first game of Ebeeechi Ebeeechi, but Henderson meant correctly to deny it.
The former Manchester United striker, Rooney, interrogated IFAND, only two games of an injury, transmitted responsibility because he was rejected by the pressure of the moment.
“Erling Haaland is a world -class striker, but when we are talking about Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, there is no way to give him that ball,” Rooney said about BBC Sport.
“That is what separates those two Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe players and thesis players.
“They are selfish and want to score every game.
“When you lose, I think you can see that it arrives and affects it.
“Maybe the idea of banning a penalty in Wembley could have too much for him. You never know, it’s a human being.”
The head of the city, Pep Guardiola, had waited for Haaland to take a step forward and says that the decision that Marmoush would take the penalty was taken by the players in the countryside.
“I thought hey [would] Because to take it, “Guardiola said about Haaland after the game.” We don’t talk. There are questions at meetings, and there are things that are ready for them.
“That moment for free throws, penalty, is especially [about] How do you feel. They saw that Omar was ready to take it. “
Henderson revealed after the game that was more confident in facing a penalty of Marmush Thanand.
“Haaland could have taken a step forward, I was.” It’s great for Marmoush, I knew how it was going. I knew I would save him. “
Henderson has previous to save Spot-Kicks in Wembley, since he has already done it for Shrewsbury in the Liga One Play-Off final in 2018, when he received the Manchester United loan.
“I kept a penalty there a few years ago for Shrewsbury,” he said ITV Sport. “I liked my possibilities in that corner. It broke it hard and I get the right way.”
Should he have been sent to Henderson?
Henderson had escaped a shipment shortly before his heroic penalty after appealing to handle the ball out of the area when Hetande seemed prepared to hit the ball that felt good.
Var checked the incident after referee Stuart Attwell lost the handball and felt that Henderson had handled the ball beyond the boundaries of his box, but decided that he did not refuse a goals opportunity that the ball was traveling away from the goal.
The former defender of the city, Joleon Lescott, said it was “one of sausage decisions” he had seen in football, while Ian Wright described arbitration as “pathetic.”
Henderson left questions about his potential red card after the game.
“I didn’t know [the VAR review] It was for me, “Hey told Itv Sport.” Who cares, no matter. It doesn’t bother me. “
