Pep Guardiola has defended Erling Haaland after the striker criticized his own performance. Haaland said he hasn’t been doing enough to help Manchester City, who have been struggling lately.
However, Guardiola disagrees with Haaland’s comments. “Without him, we would be even worse,” he said. Guardiola likes that Haaland is taking responsibility for his performance, but he thinks the striker is being too hard on himself.
Haaland has been a key player for Manchester City, scoring 18 goals this season. Despite his recent goal drought, Guardiola believes Haaland needs better support from his teammates to succeed.
Guardiola said, “He needs to be delivered the right balls in the right spots.” He thinks Haaland is doing his part, but the team needs to work together to create more scoring opportunities.
By taking responsibility for his performance, Haaland is showing the kind of leadership and accountability that Guardiola values in his players. As Manchester City tries to turn their season around, Guardiola will be counting on Haaland to continue delivering on the pitch
