Haaland words on Pep Guardiola
Haaland and Guardiola
One of the fittest forwards of the moment is precisely Erling Haaland. The Norwegian player is significantly positioned as one of the leaders of the moment, as well as a great scorer for Manchester City and a candidate for the 2023 Ballon d’Or. The forward has been key to many of the club’s titles in the most recent season.
However, the great confidence that the footballer has has a lot to do with Pep Guardiola, who supported him in a great way at the club. However, despite the love and respect between the two, Haaland confesses that Guardiola has a tough attitude, but it is very important for various reasons.
“He is very demanding with his work and very direct and honest with what he says. On the first day at Burnley – where Guardiola scolded him on the pitch at half-time – you could see it, but I appreciate it because he is passionate. It is not always pleasant , but it confronts you with the truth and I know that its objective is to make you a better player,” said the Scandinavian.
What did Haaland say the most?
The Norwegian spoke with L’Equipe about his big goals for the current season. “It will be difficult to do better. Everyone expects more from us after the Triplet. Last year, everyone wanted to beat us in the Premier because we were the champions, this season all of Europe wants to beat us,” said Haaland.
