Erling Haaland arrived as one of the most sensational transfers of the season, being bought by Manchester City for around 60 million euros that went into Dortmund's coffers.
The 22-year-old Norwegian had made history in Germany scoring 62 goals in 67 games, but his debut in England was not one of the best.
City were embarrassed 3-1 by Liverpool in the Community Shield final, and the star that shone in that game was Dawin Nunez, not the Norwegian, who even wasted chances.
It is still early for criticism, but not for the first stings, which come among others from one of the legends of the British team, Sergio Aguero.
"He is used to the Bundesliga. Then Van Dijk came and welcomed him to the Premier League," were the ironic words on his Twitch channel.
The Argentinian champion, who with the City shirt has scored a total of 260 goals in official competitions, ranking as the best scorer in the history of the Premier League with a single team, did not fail to criticize his former managers for the transfer of Sterling to Chelsea.
"I don't understand, sometimes they do strange things at City", declared the 33-year-old who ended his career, as soon as he moved to Barcelona due to a health problem.
