Last Saturday, Manchester City atomized (4-0) Newcastle for the 25th day of the Premier League. For this meeting, Pep Guardiola had decided to entrust the captain's armband to Erling Haaland.
Asked about it at a press conference, the 54 -year -old coach logically justified this choice, knowing that Ruben Dias, Bernardo Silva and Kevin de Bruyne were absent at the start.
“I voted for Erling Haaland to be part of the group of captains. He will be here for ten years and he will be part of the captains, that is part of the process ”said the Spanish technician, referring to the extension of his center-forward until 2034.
Haaland Captain of City, a habit to take
The former Borussia Dortmund player should therefore be the Cityzens captain in the future again. This is not the first time that Pep Guardiola told him the armband. During a pre-season match against Celtic, as part of the North American tour of the English club, Haaland had already had this honor.
Released on injury during the meeting against Newcastle, the native of Leeds reassured everyone after the meeting, with a photo where we see him a rib of beef in hand. On Wednesday, it will be expected at the turn for the Return of the Champions League dam against Real Madrid.
