Pep Guardiola defends Erling Haaland after his decision against Liverpool | premier league

The countenance was not the best in the environment of the club led by Pep Guardiola. Not only because of the negative result of 3-1 in favor of Liverpool in the definition of the Community Shield between the champions of the FA Cup and the Premier League, but also because of the criticism of their leading players.

Pep Guardiola has declared himself in love with Julián Álvarez, one of the two strikers who arrived at Manchester City this summer. The Argentine gave something to talk about in his first official match with the light blue jacket thanks to the fact that he was able to tie the match. For his part, Erling Haaland, who scored a goal against Bayern Munich in the friendly prior to this match, expected a lot from him, but the reality is that he was on duty.

During the first 45 minutes, Erling Haaland had a one-on-one with Adrián Sanmiguel, and then he could not comfortably finish a ball that required him to throw himself to the ground to finish. Already in the second half, he lost a lot of prominence, but had an unbeatable opportunity to score equality. A cross from Bernardo Silva for Phil Foden who fired, and Adrián saved. The rebound left the Norwegian with an empty door and with a left foot shot the ball exploded on the crossbar.

Without a doubt, this action was in the eyes of the whole world, and even more so in England. So much so that Pep Guardiola was asked at a press conference about that ruling. The Iberian’s response was clear, ‘he is strong. He missed it, he is going to put her in the goal again. What is the problem? It happened like this. It’s soccer. He was on that occasion, they disallowed another goal because the ball had gone out… he has this talent, he will do it (score goals). It’s good to understand that sometimes he mentally needs that situation to say ‘well, what do you have to do?’ So he is fine. I’m not worried about that.’

Just started the season with the title of Liverpool in the Community Shield. However, it’s only Erling Haaland’s first official meeting, and you can’t judge a goalscorer by just 90 minutes played. He will recover and will come with more scoring power than he has always characterized him.
