Pep Guardiola is experiencing his most difficult moment on the Manchester City bench. And he can’t really count on Erling Haaland at the top of his game. Usually surgical in front of goal, the Norwegian is a little less successful and scores less recently. Criticized in England, the Cyborg can count on the support of Pep Guardiola, who stepped up to the plate at a press conference this Tuesday.
“Well, first of all, Merry Christmas everyone. The problem is us, not just one player. When Haaland was the most prolific, it was also for us, for the team. Haaland is very important to us and will continue to be. We need to use it better. But it’s not just one player, it’s all of them. The boys are more involved than ever, but there are some small details, and some big ones, that don’t allow us to be as good as before. On Boxing Day we have the opportunity to try and buy time for the injured to recover.” And that the transfer window arrives to make necessary adjustments. This will do good for City and certainly for Haaland, who needs a solid team around him to express himself at best.
