After the match between Manchester City and Chelsea, Pep Guardiola returned to the huge opportunity missed by Erling Haaland.
Manchester City there is reason to be disappointed. This Saturday, the Skyblues showed themselves far from their best level and were held in check by a valiant team of Chelsea. Despite this, Kevin De Bruyne and his gang dominated, at least in the numbers, but were not very effective. It was indeed necessary to wait until the 83rd and 27th strikes of the match for Rodri to equalize.
Haaland uninspired in front of goal
In total, the Mancuniens had 32 shots on goal, and among these attempts, Erling Haaland was particularly ineffective in front of goal. Author of nine strikes and totaling 1.71 xG, the Norwegian striker stood out in the 78th minute due to a missed header from close range on a cross from De Bruyne.
Asked about this occasion after the match, Pep Guardiola did not seem worried and even joked when talking about his scoring qualities when he was a player himself. “I played 11 years and scored 11 goals, so I can’t give Erling too much advice. The next goal, he will score”, explained the Spanish technician. The next match will be Tuesday against Brentford.
