An assistant to Pep Guardiola at City has explained the reasons for the success of Erling Haaland, who is already shining brightly in England.
Erling Haaland is having a thunderous debut in the English championship. The Norwegian breaks all records for a rookie and his performances are in line with those he achieved at Borussia Dortmund. Nothing seems to be able to stop the Scandinavian machine and one wonders if he doesn’t have a secret recipe.
“Haaland has a very good mental balance”
The question was put to Manel Estiarte, Pep Guardiola’s assistant. The Spanish technician highlighted the intrinsic qualities of the Norwegian, but he also and above all underlined the mental virtues of the flagship rookie of the champions of England. “He’s a very nice boy, he said to start in a daily interview AS. Young but with a Nordic spirit, he takes things with less difficulty than Latinos like us. Neither great demonstrations of happiness, nor great demonstrations of sadness. He has a very good mental balance for his age. Several months ago he decided he would sign for City.”
Although he is not worried about Haaland, Estiarte claimed that the excitement around the player is not necessarily a good thing. He asks to temper the general enthusiasm: “Such a start in the Premier League is perhaps surprising, but now is not the time to raise it or sink it if it fails afterwards. It has only just begun , so we have to be enthusiastic and excited, but we also shouldn’t think that Halaand is going to score 70 or 80,000 goals. We have to take care of him because in the end, he’s a 22-year-old boy, even s “it is true that he has impressive physical abilities and a talent for football”.
