According to manchestercity.news, indicates that Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, after seeing the very best in the game, has admitted to being shocked by goal-scoring sensation Erling Haaland.
He has managed Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, and Robert Lewandowski throughout his career, but it does seem that he is in shock by the manner of prolificacy brought to his side by Haaland.
“A little bit, yeah,” Guardiola said when questioned about whether Haaland’s goal record had surprised him. “I played 11 years as a professional. I scored 11 goals. This guy, four games, scored nine. So, just imagine if that surprised me.”
Haaland has fit into City with nothing short of immediate success. The deadly combination between the raw talents of the youngster and Guardiola’s tactical intelligence had been the bullet that made the dominance of Manchester City something huge in the Premier League and the Champions League.
If it doesn’t get any better, then the form in front of goal should get the rest of the league worried. If he keeps up that type of unbelievable patterns, only time will tell, but one thing is already sure: Erling Haaland, fully on board at Manchester City, has left even the great Pep Guardiola speechless.
