Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has given an update on Erling Haaland’s injury. This comes as the club sweats on their top scorer’s fitness before their Premier League clash at home to Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.
According to him, even though the Norwegian striker feels much better, no decision has been made concerning his availability ahead of the next match.
Pep added that teams have to adapt to the changing ways of the game, regardless of whether they are entertaining or not.
His words, “He feels much better, but yesterday we didn’t train and now we have training. We’ll decide today…”
On set-pieces, “Set-pieces have started to be important. It was different when I started as a manager. When I was a young boy we said the people in England celebrate corners and free-kicks like a goal. I remember perfectly, so nothing has changed in that way. Arsenal dictate how they do it and it is an important aspect.
Four years ago in the NBA, the three-shot point was not involved as much but now so many teams do it. It is part of the dynamics. You can sit and complain but you have to adapt. It’s part of the game. You have to adapt and especially adapt in the way it is conducted in the Premier League. Every country has a specific way to do it and every club have specific ways they play. I understand completely why [Arne Slot’s comments] and in some ways I agree.
I have my own opinion on that but I will keep the opinion of what happens in the box to me. I won’t share with you. I have shared it with the players a long time ago.”
WOW.
Erling Braut Haaland is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Manchester City and the Norway national team.
