Erling Haaland picks Manchester City’s best player in his opinion and surprises everyone
Erling Haaland and Manchester City
Erling Haaland is about to play his first UEFA Champions League final with his club and hopes to get there in the best possible way. The Norwegian signed for Manchester City last summer and quickly made history with the club in his first season. The striker broke the Premier League scoring record and returned the team to another final of the most important European competition of all.
In that sense, Haaland has settled very well in his first year at Manchester City. The player has the full confidence of coach Pep Guardiola and he has fit in well with each of his teammates, especially Kevin De Bruyne, who is the midfielder in charge of assisting and providing the best passes to the Norwegian machine.
However, unexpectedly, Erling Haaland mentioned the player who, in his opinion, is the best in the team and to the surprise of many, it is not Kevin De Bruyne, with whom he seemed to have an important relationship on and off the field. The Belgian is one of the longest-serving players on the team and has also won numerous titles and is even one of the captains.
Despite this, Haaland seems to be less than impressed and has already sent a message to the player that there is an even better midfielder in the team. For Haaland, the player who is in charge of uniting teammates and managing time on the field is none other than Rodri. Manchester City’s Spanish midfielder and key player in the midfield.
What did Haaland have to say about Rodri?
After winning the 2022/23 Premier League MVP award, Erling Haaland was interviewed by English league media and asked about the most key player in the team. Surprisingly, the Norwegian did not hesitate and assured that Rodri “is in charge of managing the midfield and that the team is organized in a great way”.
