If the Ballon d’Or were awarded based on player performance in the first two months of the European Championships, new Manchester City striker Erling Haaland would be in contention for the prestigious award.
The 22-year-old Haaland has shown amazing results since his move to Manchester City during the last summer transfers from Borussia Dortmund, where he scored 19 goals and provided three assists in his first 12 games for the English team in various competitions this season.
Due to Haaland’s outstanding talent and his quick adaptation to the atmosphere of the English Premier League, which is considered the strongest league in the world, football fans have nicknamed the Norwegian striker with many nicknames, such as “robot”, “cyborg”, etc. “machine”.

Against the backdrop of these nicknames, a Twitter fan under the username “Red Tin Hag” launched a campaign to sign a petition to ban Haaland from English football, titled: “Petition to suspend Erling Haaland from the Football Association because it’s unfair.”
“We can make changes. It’s time for us humans to act. This robot cannot be allowed to continue to exist in our country,” the user continued in his petition form.
This petition has collected nearly 400,000 signatures.
The private football association also said it had collected 1.8 million signatures for Haaland’s departure from the Premier League.
Of course, these campaigns and signings will not affect Haaland’s future in the English Premier League in any way, because they are just campaigns for fun and a compliment to the Norwegian striker for his brilliance in England.
