“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.
Pep Guardiola reveals why he left Manchester City. It can be recalled that the manager recently left Man City, and now he has revealed his reason during an interaction with reporters.
He shared that he is running out of energy.
“I share the same feeling as when Jurgen Klopp left, I am running out of energy. I feel like I will not have the energy that is required for a game every three days, to fight for titles, being in front of the players every day.”
He then added that he believes the club should have a new manager with fresh energy to direct the team.
Football legend Paul Merson praises Mikel Arteta on his win this season and shares good luck to him in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain.
He praised the manager, saying that Arteta really pushed the club to the best and the win is well deserved.
“Congratulations to Arsenal once again. It is a well-deserved win after 22 years. We can’t wait to see the 30th of May and see if it’s a double win.”
Luis Enrique, manager of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), praised Arsenal F.C. and called them the best team in the world after their win in the Premier League.
He shared: “I believe they deserve to win the league — they have had an outstanding season.
“We have already faced this Arsenal team, so we are aware of their capabilities.
“Without the ball, they are the best team in the world, and with it, they can score frequently. This creates a remarkable combination for them.”
