Erling Haaland being highlighted for dragging goals again. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola I blame myself for Haaland’s current situation.
The Norwegian football superstar started his career at Man City sensationally after scoring 27 goals in just 24 appearances. However, since scoring against Everton in a 1-1 draw on New Year’s Eve, Haaland has not yet made his name on the scoresheet.
The 23-year-old striker’s goalscoring streak was jammed in three matches the Citizens next. Haaland’s difficulties also affected Man City after only winning once (vs Chelsea 1-0) and suffering two defeats (vs Southampton 0-2 and Manchester United 1-2). Even worse, the former Borussia Dortmund player failed to fire on target at all.
Guardiola believes, Erling Haaland rather than experiencing a crisis, but the lack of service from the players Manchester City. “We have our own game, we have our own principles but the way we played in the last two games didn’t help Erling score goals,” he said. Stats Perform.
“In the build-up you can move wider, but in the final third you have players in the middle. If Erling isn’t there, we can’t score many goals. Before, we always had very good movement in the final third, in narrow gaps. Now in the last two games, we didn’t have it.”
“I will say that it was my fault. I didn’t make them understand how we should attack. We need players who can run, not just Erling,” continued the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss.
“If we only had Erling he would be controlled by two or three centre-backs. We need more players in those positions, for sure. We have done it. We have to do it more often,” Guardiola concluded.
Erling Haaland will try to end his goal drought tonight. Manchester City will host Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium, Friday (20/1/2023) starting at 03.00 WIB.
