New Manchester City Striker Erling Haaland on Pep Guardiola: “He’s a bit crazy”

Manchester City’s new striker Erling Haaland is realizing what it means to be coached by Pep Guardiola… and he’s having a blast.

Pep Guardiola is famous for being an obsessive manager… soccer is his life and it has led to invredible results for him as he has won at every team he has ever managed.

Erling Haaland, the team’s new striker recently scored his first goal for them in a preseason game against Bayern Munich and he is also seeing first-hand what day to day life is under the former FC Barcelona manager.

The 22-year-old Erling Haaland is getting ready for the biggest challenge of his career… the Premier League. At the moment Haaland has passed the test with flying colors as he is known as one of the best strikers in the world. This is what he had to say regarding Pep Guardiola.

Haaland spoke to the media and he was full of praise for Guardiola, who is an extremely intense manager in every aspect of his team. “Guardiola is a bit crazy, and I like that… I cannot tell you too much about this after one week, but I’ve been training well and I’m ready for what is next.”

He continued by stating, “It was a good feeling to get started again after six weeks without football, I’ve been watching a lot of City games over the last years and they’ve been without a striker, so of course I’ve been seeing myself in these situations, so I’m not surprised” when talking about his preseason goal.”

Haaland still needs a bit more time to be 100 percent as far as his fitness: “I’m not perfect fitness-wise. These were my first minutes. [But] you saw that I’m good and ready. To beat Bayern feels good, and the quality is good. It was a real test before Liverpool in a week.”
