Haaland and el Manchester City
He did not hide his number 1 goal: to win the Champions League, his “favorite competition”. A tournament that Manchester City he has not been able to lift until now and that has obsessed him in recent years.
In a statement released by the Manchester City last June 13, when Haaland’s arrival made officialthe player had said that his goal in the new stage was “score goals, win trophies and progress.”
“I’m going to enjoy because when I enjoy, then I score goals. I love to play football and I hope to smile very often here. (Manchester City) is another level. The way they approach matches and how they play It’s something I want to be a part of“, He stated at his press conference this Sunday.
Haaland has gone through five clubs with scarcely 21 years. Has the time finally come to settle on a project and stay with it for a long time?
“The important thing is to be myself, learn to know (the members of the coaching staff), try to build something together (…) Until here, we have passed each stage perfectly. I have a good team around me, also friends at home, people who push me when I need it and stop me when I need to stop. It is a very good balance. In the end it’s all I want,” she estimated.
Time to settle down?
“They have been big steps, going from my city of origin (Bryne, in Norway) to Molde, then to Salzburg, to Dortmund and now to City. But I am the one who made those decisions, after thinking things through a lot. (Regarding City), I have signed for five yearsLet’s start with that,” he said.
With the Manchester Citythe options of Haaland of winning titles seem to increase due to the potential of the team of Josep Guardiolaespecially at European level and in the coveted Champions League.
“Any player wants to win trophies and be better every day, to play at the highest level. Sometimes I see other players posting photos with trophies and I tell myself I would like to be in his place, as soon as possible. But I have to continue to work hard and hopefully I can lift some trophies in the future. The Champions League it’s my favorite competitionso I think that answers your question.”
