First of all, I think we&#8217;re completely different players because I know we&#8217;re both considered strikers, but to be honest I think we play in two completely different positions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Erling is unbelievable, his scoring record speaks for itself, physically he&#8217;s a machine, he&#8217;s a beast, his finishing is at the highest level.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I see myself as a different player. Even though we&#8217;re scoring the same goals, I&#8217;d like to touch the ball a little more and be a little more involved in the play. But we can also play as an out-and-out nine, but I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s something we should compare ourselves to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have a lot of respect for him as a player and as a fellow professional. Of course I hope he has a quiet game tomorrow, but I think his overall performance lately speaks for itself.
