Manchester City striker, Erling Haaland has vowed to keep on missing chances during matches. He recently had his say after his horror error in Manchester City’s derby-day victory over rivals United, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he expects people to criticize him a lot more in the future for missing because scoring a lot of goals comes with squandering a lot of chances as well.
Haaland added that he’ll just focus on scoring more goals and helping the team this season.
His words, “I’ve been missing. I miss a lot of chances. I will still keep on missing chances, I will still score goals so I’ll probably miss a big chance in the future as well and people are going to criticise me and what can I do then? Should I think of that? No. I should focus on scoring more goals and helping the team.
There’s a lot of things I can become better at, everything by the way. People say I’m good at scoring goals but I missed the biggest chance in the world ever two days ago so I can also become better at that. It’s with everything in life – if you over-think something, it’s not good. If you stress in your life, it’s not good. My focus is to become the best possible version of myself and the main thing then is the mental part.”
WOW.
