PEP GUARDIOLA LABELLED Erling Haaland the “best striker in the world” after the Manchester City frontman was likened to a League Two player by Roy Keane.
Guardiola was unimpressed by the remarks, arguing Haaland was instrumental in City’s treble success last season before insisting any blame for not scoring against Arsenal should be shared by the team. “There are games where he could be better but I knew during the game against Arsenal that the reason why we were not creating chances was not because of Erling.
However, the Spaniard accepts that criticism comes with the territory of being a high-profile professional footballer. “I’m surprised it comes from former players. With journalists I can understand because they have never been on the pitch but the former players is always a surprise .”
