Sébastien Haller has undoubtedly become the great revelation of European football in the season 2021-22. This giant of 1,90 cm born in France but international with Ivory Coast, has emerged as one of the best scorers in Europe. Not in vain is breaking it in the Champions League 2021-22.
Sébastien Haller, the giant that crushes the rivals' goals
Haller (Rins-Orangis, France, 22-6-1994) He rose to fame because Ajax signed him in the winter market of 2021 by 22,5 million euros but could not make his debut in the decisive phase of the Champions League due to a bureaucratic error on the part of the Dutch when registering him. But long before that, his name was already ringing loud.
And it is that he West Ham, club that transferred him to Ajax, had paid for him a whopping 50 millones de euros al Eintracht Frankfurt de which in turn had paid 12 million for him to Utrecht who had discovered it a few years ago. It did not work in the London team, which meant that they would end up being traded in half to an Ajax who found a ‘chollazo’ in this operation. However the clerical error made me have to wait 9 months to debut in the Champions League.
The most spectacular debut in the Champions League since Van Basten
The debut was as spectacular as it sounded. And it is that Sébastien Haller debuted in Europe's top continental club competition in September 2021 with nothing more and nothing less than 4 goals. Something that had only been achieved by a world superclass like Marco Van Basten with AC Milan in the campaign 1991-92.
It was against him Sporting de Portugal in it 1 a 5 that Ajax endorsed the Portuguese on the day 1 of that edition of the competition. Since then his name has only stopped ringing. Not for less, Well, we are talking about the Pichichi of the Champions League and his Ajax passed over Borussia from Erling Haaland, of which so much has been talked about for a year and a half.
He played with France but ended up being international with the Ivory Coast
In the French Football Federation they will be pulling their hair with the Haller theme and it is not for less. Football player, French by birth but of Ivorian origin, He came to play with the French inferiors but they never bet on him for the absolute despite the fact that he had been doing well in Holland and Germany.
It was international with 'France from the sub 16 until the sub 21. He went through all the categories and shared a team with Laporte, Ousmane Dembélé, Lucas Hernandez, Lemar, surname, Tolisso, Kimpembe, Lenglet, Benjamin Mendy, Rabiot, Bakayoko or Maignan. But in 2020, He had no news of the absolute French team so he decided to accept the offer to be international with Ivory Coast. Something that will surely be hurting more than one. football things.
Raphinha, the beast that breaks it in the Premier and in Brazil
