No worries for Haaland

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.
