Erling Haaland is ready to play his second season with Manchester City, In the pre-season game against Yokohama Mariners, the Norwegian striker only scored two goals, now he hopes to continue winning more championships with the club.

In his first season with Manchester City, Haaland scored 52 goals, was champion of the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup. Now he will have the challenge of surpassing these numbers.

Erling Haaland said that one of his teammates from Manchester City deserves to be the MVP of the season. The choice of him surprised everyone because he is a player who is not a striker or an attacking midfielder. The Norwegian chooses Rodri.

Which other player deserves the prize? There were other teammates of mine who could have easily won it. If you watch every game, you have Rodri, who has been solid all season and is maybe a bit in camouflage because he is in the midfield bringing everyone together,” Haaland said in an interview with William Hill.

Rodri is considered the best defensive midfielder in the world

The former Atlético de Madrid player is considered by Pep Guardiola and experts as the best defensive midfielder in the world. In this season with Manchester City, he was important for the club to win the Champions League by scoring against Inter Milan.
