GUARDIOLA REACTS TO CARRAGHER'S CRITICISM ON HAALAND: THE GOAL IS NOT TO WIN THE GOLDEN BALL

 

Erling Haaland, who was criticized for not making an impression during crucial matches against Real Madrid, has once again gained the backing of his boss, Pep Guardiola. He said that the striker from Norway was in "the most difficult position on the pitch".
The English experts are obviously interested in Erling Haaland. It is Jamie Carragher's turn to criticize the assailant after Roy Keane likened the Norwegian to "a League Two (fourth English division) player". Although Haaland was "without a doubt one of the greatest goalscorers in the world" following his spectral encounter against Real Madrid, the former Liverpool great believed that he was not yet "a class player world."
 
adding in his Telegraph editorial that Virgil van Dijk, William Saliba, and Antonio Rüdiger had "dominated" the "Cyborg" in the previous major Mancunian meetings far too handily. a viewpoint that Pep Guardiola does not agree with, expressed this Friday during a press conference in response to this latest outburst directed at one of his players.
Before the Cityzens' 4 p.m. encounter with Luton Town, the Manchester City head coach emphasized the difficulty of playing up front between two opposition centrals. It's the hardest position to play on the field. Although each player has an opponent, center defenders go off against two attackers instead of just one."
 
"Without him, we wouldn't have won five titles last year."
Even though Haaland is still only 23 years old, Guardiola continued to acknowledge that he may still be improved. "A 33-year-old player may have potential for improvement, but he's a youthful player with specific elements of his game that require work. However, the team is more important than he is."
In addition, Carragher promised that the Norwegian, who has scored 30 goals in 37 games across all competitions this season, needed to improve as a player if he was going to be the Ballon d'Or winner in the future. However, winning the Ballon d'Or is not the objective. Recalling the significance of 'Haaland in the Cityzens' incredible final season, Guardiola shot back, "The goal is to win the Premier League, the Champions League, the FA Cup, and the Carabao Cup."
