Erling Haaland’s 31 goals by halfway point shuts down all debate for Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola
To do Pep Guardiola justice, he showed early on how the story around Erling Haaland would unfold.
Mann, for example, has forgotten that his City manager disrespected the Norwegian striker after a so-so performance against Liverpool in July's Community Shield, with some hungry for a knee-jerk reaction. Is not ...
So if Haaland doesn't hit, or if the attack doesn't catch fire, Guardiola knows who's to blame. I am aware that it holds up as an answer to
And that's pretty much what happened during this week or so of him. When Haaland didn't even sniff a goal after losing to Manchester United in the Derby, it was about how he disrupted the course of what was arguably Europe's most skilful football team.
Now, with four goals in eight days, a hat-trick and toothless Wolves being the final casualty, people are once again raving about City's No.9.
"When we lost the Community Shield to Liverpool, the discussion before West Ham was 'he won't fit into the Premier League and our style of play,'" said Guardiola.
"If he scores, I don't know how many hat tricks and goals he has, but he is our team's solution and if he doesn't score, he is our team's problem. It's a vision."The reality is Haaland is a very big solution, but there are periods of adjustment, moments where he doesn't click, and sometimes City need to readjust after playing without a centre-forward for so long.
Overall, Haaland's 31 goals to the end of January suggest the groundwork for something great is in place, with players like the re-substituted Joao Cancelo and the injured Phil Foden. This suggests that there are other reasons why is not chosen.
Guardiola complained that City had lost momentum and had become a 'happy flowers' team midway through his 4-2 comeback win over Spurs.
But based on this evidence, spring may still be blooming early in east Manchester, and Harland is smelling roses again after a frustrating period. No, but I'm sure I'm happy. Haaland's fourth league hat-trick of the season meant he continued to put pressure on leaders Arsenal, more than doubling Wolves' league goals (25) this season.
Haaland should have won his boot in Golden in each of the last four seasons by current records, and Mohammed will break his league record with 32 goals in his 38 games for Salah when he breaks. It seems to be some kind of problem.
Guardiola has revealed that Haaland will not be able to play as Forsnein, but when he dug deep into the space he opened up, City's players had more to find and use than they could at Old Trafford. I was happy to have made a better fist.
"You can't play fake nines with him, you have to coordinate some moves with him," said the coach. “Today he went down a couple of times. "Mateus Nunez and Mario Lemina kept Kevin (De Bruyne) and (Ilkay) Gundogan in their positions and Rubén Neves jumped to Rodri in midfield, so there was a lot of space and we had to use it. No. He came two or three times and did well.
“They had space against United but couldn't find more. Generally, I think he has the ability to do that, the quality and the first control.
The Wolves shot each other's legs after the break, soft conceded his penalty, and after Haaland scored his second goal, goalkeeper Josésa his Riyadh his Mahrez made a mistake and Haaland scored between him and City. Paving the way for his third goal.
Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui blamed an initial game plan mistake that forced them to remove the entire attack at halftime, but there was still no law against such sloppy individual mistakes. na
Neves' run to Gundogan, which earned him a penalty sent off by Haaland, was unnecessary and soon after Sa was caught making a sloppy short pass attempt.Mahrez intercepted and Haaland and you know the rest.
At the first goal, Sa was helpless. Rodri threw the ball to Mahrez near the right touchline, he passed in and then De Bruyne turned in a perfect cross to Haaland heading home.
