'I never thought he was going to go to City because he’s a player Guardiola never wanted.'
Date published: Wednesday 8th February 2023 12:13 -Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola “never wanted” Erling Haaland at the Etihad Stadium, according to former Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann.
Haaland has scored 31 goals in 28 matches in all competitions, with 25 of those coming in the Premier League, but despite that unbelievable goalscoring record there’s noise that Man City would play better without him.and reckons his Man City team-mates need to “take responsibility as well not just him”.
“Now you’ve got a player who a lot of the time in their matches hardly takes part, it’s almost like playing with ten men. I don’t care how many goals he scores or how many hat-tricks he scores, you need to see how many goals the team scores. I think they’ve scored less goals at the same stage of last season and have got less points.
“He’s good when you play quickly – at Dortmund he scored his goals after they turned over the ball, played three or four passes and the ball was in the back of the net. With City they pass the ball 30/40 times before breaking the team down and that’s not his game.There have been rumours recently that. Hamann added: “I never thought he was going to go to City because he’s a player Guardiola never wanted.
