Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has come out to say that Erling Haaland’s insatiable hunger for goals can be compared to Messi. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he was very fortunate as manager to coach a Messi who is absolutely obsessed with scoring goals, and he sees the same hunger to net a lot of goals in his new superstar striker.
Pep added that Haaland is a direct player and a very confident young man in front of ggoal.
His words, “That’s good, I like it,”
“I was fortunate as manager to be with Messi and when he scored two, he wanted three, and when scored three, he wants four.
“The top goalscorers are never satisfied, they are always hungry and starving and want more.”
“I know how he handled a lot of criticism this week. He was really calm, he trained really well but the way he took the ball for the penalty, I said ‘I like it’.
“[He’s] so direct and I think if someone is taking the ball, he would punch them in the face even though they are his mates. And that is a pretty good sign. To be so confident, I like it.”
