Tikteknu: today's summary clip, 4.9 (Sport1)
Erling Holland revealed he "felt sorry" for Robert Lewandowski when Bayern Munich approached the Norwegian and offered to replace him in the wing.
Holland, who is 12 years younger than Lewandowski, was in the sights of the Bavarians, following his impressive success at Dortmund where he scored 86 goals in 89 appearances.
Bayern have tried to sign Hollande, knowing they are competing with top European clubs such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and the two Manchester teams, and are looking for a successor to their Polish goalscorer.
Haaland spoke in a documentary film about him, "Haaland: The Big Decision", about his decision in choosing the new team, and said he felt that Bayern were disrespectful to Lewandowski.
It's been stormy days.

There is nothing to feel sorry for him, he got over the insult and moved on.

"If I try to think how Lewandowski feels...", Holland said, "I don't know how many goals he had and how many titles he won with this team. So I actually even feel a little sorry for him. At the same time, this is an opportunity for him to take the next step in his career His. It feels a bit disrespectful towards him, but it's also an opportunity for him."
By the way, Bayern Munich previously denied that they even approached Holland.
His father, Alfie, claims in the film: "They expressed interest, yes. I understand that they want to protect themselves. Because if he doesn't end up there, they will be able to say, 'He wasn't even in the plans, we already have the best striker in the world.'"
As is known, the 34-year-old Lewandowski decided at the end of the season to leave Bayern before the end of his contract, and moved to Barcelona.
Also, Alfie explained what Erling's criteria were in choosing a team.
"We created for ourselves the main criterion - 'Which team most needs a striker 9'?" said Alfie Holland, "Manchester City was 10 out of 10 in this area, it was a perfect option. At Real Madrid, we gave it more towards 5 or 6 out of 10, in light of the way Karim Benzema is playing and we wondered if they were also going to sign Mbappe."
