Manchester City had to settle for a draw (1-1) against a rockier version of Chelsea. The one in Guardiola They had quite a busy night at the ball and they saw how those were Pochettino Every time they go on a counterattack they destroy their entire defense system very easily. The ‘blues’ saved their lives on several occasions. Although it is also true that under normal conditions, Haaland would have scored two or three goals, but he proved that he is human and failed to fail.
Haaland’s worst night ever
As has happened many other times since his arrival at City, he sometimes plays games where he seems to be disconnected from the whole development phase of the game, interfering a little, but very effectively. However, at the Etihad he faces a tough competitor in the figure of Disasi, who played his best game as a Chelsea player. He cleared balls high, low and in every possible way. He was Haaland’s shadow, which he didn’t even let breathe and ended up taking him out of the competition. So when he couldn’t stop, the number 9 missed his best specialty: the goal.
Guardiola wants to downplay Haaland’s mistakes
As expected after the game, Pep Guardiola was asked about Haaland’s missed chances, to which he responded forcefully.
”The first half we were not at our level, but the second half we were very good. We know it’s a challenge and you have to compete against these types of teams for 90 minutes, not just a half…
I played for 11 years and scored 11 goals. One goal per season. I am not the right person to give advice to scorers. We created enough chances and next time Erling will score. I don’t blame him”.
