After Manchester City’s victory against Young Boys on Wednesday, Pep Guardiola showed no concern about Erling Haaland.

Three matches without scoring. It’s not much, but enough to worry when it comes toErling Haaland. Since his arrival at Manchester City, the Norwegian international has accustomed everyone to crashing almost every weekend with a first season with 52 goals in 53 matches. Between September and October, the cyborg went three games without scoring, coinciding with a drop in form for his team, beaten by Wolverhampton and Arsenal.

No worries for Haaland

But since the return of the international break, the former Dortmund player has found the net again against Brighton in the Premier League, he then opened his account in the Champions League on Wednesday by converting a penalty against Young Boys. After the match, Pep Guardiola was asked about any possible concerns on the part of his striker following this slight period of shortage. “A lot, a lot… Honestly, I’m so worried”replied the Spanish technician, thinking that the question was aimed at him.

Guardiola then added that he had no concerns about Haaland’s ability to get plenty of opportunities and convert them into goals. “The important thing is to create chances. People expect him to score four goals every time, they want to see him fail. People are out there saying he won’t make it but I’m sure this guy will score goals all his life. He has chances, he’s an incredible threat, and sometimes he misses.”he added.
