Pep Guardiola has built a formidable team at Manchester City with several exceptional players. Among these players, we can mention the name of Erling Haaland. The Norwegian striker never ceases to hurt opposing defenses and find the back of the net.
This Saturday afternoon, the Skyblues number 9 scored a hat-trick against Ipswich. After the match, in a post-match press conference, he did not hesitate to compliment his striker. However, he believes that the Norwegian is far from being the most complete striker in the history of football. “Is Erling Haaland the most complete centre forward in history? The most complete centre forward in the history of football is Lionel Messi” he replied.
Erling Haaland is a real machine. The Manchester City player pushes his limits. In two games played he has already scored four goals in the Premier League this season. His coach Pep Guardiola sees him competing with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of goals.
“He scored goals in Salzburg, Germany, the numbers are crazy. He can compete with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in terms of goals. The numbers are incredible at his young age. He is an incredible threat and we are happy to have him. We hope he stays here for many years, it would be really good for us.”
