“Haaland is Similar to Messi in Numbers, But They Are Different Players” – Guardiola
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola recently reflected on his experience working with two of football’s biggest stars, Erling Haaland and Lionel Messi.
Currently managing Haaland at Man City, Guardiola previously worked with Messi during their time at Barcelona between 2008 and 2012.
With Haaland’s recent signing of a new nine-and-a-half-year contract at Manchester City, Guardiola was asked to compare the Norwegian striker to the legendary Messi.
While Guardiola acknowledged similarities between the two, particularly in their goal-scoring abilities, he was quick to point out their differences.
“In terms of numbers and scoring goals, he is similar to Leo [Messi], but they are different players,” Guardiola explained.
“You can’t really compare them. Leo can play in different positions and create chances for his teammates. It’s incomparable.”
Despite his high praise for Haaland, Guardiola admitted that the 23-year-old still has room for improvement.
“Of course, he can improve. The contract won’t make him better, it’s his confidence and his desire that will take him to the next level,” he said.
Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
