Pep Guardiola came to the defense of Erling Haaland on Tuesday afternoon. In a press conference, ahead of the game with Aston Villa, the Manchester City coach responded to Roy Keane, who had said that the Norwegian goalscorer “he looked like a fourth division player” in the duel against Arsenal, registered last Sunday.
“I don’t agree with him, not at all. It’s as if I were saying that he [Roy Keane] He is a second or third League coach. I don’t agree”, Guardiola began by saying, continuing.
“He [Haaland] He’s the best striker in the world and he helped us win what we won last season. The truth is that we didn’t create many opportunities and that’s not Erling’s fault. We needed more presence in the last third of the field with more people. We played an exceptional game against Arsenal, but we lacked more people in that area. I reviewed the game. Erling is incredible”, said the Manchester City coach.
