Former Roma star Antonio Cassano says Manchester City striker Erling Haaland "doesn't know how to play football".
While impressed by Haaland's physical qualities, Cassano doesn't rate the Premier League record-breaker as a footballer.
He said on Bobo TV: "Haaland reminds me of the stage that Adriano had at Inter. (Zlatan) Ibrahimovic with Adriano's speed? Yes, very well. I agree, even if Ibra was more technical than Haaland.
"He's a mix of Adriano and (Christian) Vieri.
"There are other strikers who know how to play football like (Robert) Lewandowski and (Karim) Benzema. He (Haaland) doesn't know how to play football. He's a great scorer, he's phenomenal. But don't you prefer a striker who knows how to play football?"

I prefer a player who doesn’t know how to play football and scores 45+ goals in all competitions than a player who can play football and can’t score more than 10 goals
