Erling Haaland expressed his frustration following the difficult season of Manchester City, who lost two consecutive first League games before the international break.
The Norwegian international said that the Manchester derby would offer the “ideal” opportunity to reverse the situation, after the start of the season deemed “insufficient” by the Pep Guardiola team.
Haaland: City needs to progress
According to The Guardian, Haaland spoke with Viaplay before Sunday's crucial derby. The 25 -year -old expressed his frustration against the difficult start to the Cityzens season and said they had to progress and be at the best of their form to “boost the situation” and relaunch their season. After their victory against the Wolves on the first day, City has since lost to Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton and occupies 13th place in the ranking.
Atypical beginnings for Manchester City by Guardiola
The beginnings were particularly difficult for the winners of the 2023 tripled, accustomed to fighting for the title under Guardiola. If a little soft blow in the middle of the season can occur and be quickly caught up, finding yourself in the last half of the ranking at this stage of the season is an unprecedented experience. Haaland's words reflect the fact that City hopes for an improvement as the new recruits set up.
Haaland said: “We lost two games in a row, it's not enough, it's really a shame. You have to find the solution, find the way to victory. We cannot afford to lose, there are so many good teams. It's perfect for reverse the situation against United. We must all be at our best level, motivate yourself, make things happen, because it has not been enough so far. »»
“Losing is not cool. It's annoying, you have to take advantage of it for something positive. “” It motivates us to do better in the next match, and I expect it to be the case. We must use our inner anger on the ground to give the best of ourselves. »»
