Mr. Guardiola rebuked the “Man United” legend who criticized E. Haaland | Sports

1993-2005 R. Kean played in the Manchester United team and also represented the Irish national team.

The 52-year-old man, who works as a commentator, compared E. Haaland’s performance in the match against London Arsenal to the match of a fourth league football player.

“I don’t agree with him, I don’t agree at all,” Guardiola said. – It’s as if I said that he, Roy, is a coach of the third league. But I don’t think so.

Erling is the best striker in the world, he helped us win titles last season. And the fact that we didn’t create chances is not up to him.

We needed more activity in the final third, we had a great game against Arsenal. I have reviewed them.”

E. Haaland scored 52 goals in 53 games last season, Man City won the English Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup.

This season, the Norwegian has scored 29 goals in 35 matches.

Mr. Guardiola said that he was surprised by the criticism of the 23-year-old striker.

“When journalists say that – I understand, they haven’t been on the field, but when former players do it – I’m very surprised. It’s like judges who, after finishing their careers, start criticizing other judges. It always amazes me. Memory is very short.

The problems that players are going through now were previously experienced by current experts. They themselves wasted thousands, millions of chances and they were hurt because they themselves were criticized by former footballers.

“I am not the one who will criticize my colleagues when I finish my career”, said P. Guardiola.

After Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Arsenal, the Catalans have 64 points and are third in the Premier League. They are three points behind Liverpool and a point behind Arsenal. The teams have nine games left to play before the end of the season.
