Erling Haaland’s stats in the last games
Pep Guardiola and Haaland
Erling Haaland and Manchester City are coming off their most difficult week of the season. The citizen team lost its undefeated record in the Premier League and was also eliminated in the League Cup against Newcastle. However, something that is already beginning to worry are the numbers of their Norwegian Star striker, who despite being the scorer, is little involved in the games and that is beginning to be reflected.
Erling Haaland is a strong candidate for the Ballon d’Or for his 2022/23 season. The Norwegian footballer scored a total of 52 goals and won the treble with Manchester City. However, some were not entirely happy with his performances in the UEFA Champions League finals. For this season, the player’s scoring pace seemed to continue, but he has had a small decrease in recent times. However, beyond that, it is expected that the player can make an important contribution to the club.
Manchester City is coming off two consecutive defeats. The paradigmatic thing about the defeats is that the first occurred without Haaland and the second, with the Norwegian on the field. On the grass yes, but not in the game. I don’t ever remember seeing a player touch the ball so rarely. It was record-breaking. In 96 minutes, Haaland touched the ball 15 times. Furthermore, the player did not score or assist in these matches, which seemed to be certainly lower level rivals. Now, the club returns to the Champions League where it hopes Haaland reappears.
They will be patient with Haaland
Many times we have seen City games where the announcer barely mentions Haaland and, if you don’t care, he has already scored two goals in no time. It’s the grace of mega-goal scorers, that you can never write them off. Not in vain, Haaland scored 52 goals in his first year at City and now has 7 goals in 8 games.
