The key word in the Manchester City team for this season is Erling Haaland. The Norwegian footballer has started his adventure with the English team on a “good foot” as he has become the leader of coach Pep Guardiola’s offensive. Everyone describes Haaland as the missing “weapon” of City in recent years, and now that the team is complete with a bomber, there are no more excuses to triumph in Europe, except for the championship. These voices are joined by Patrice Evra, who emphasizes that Haaland is a typical number nine, while adding that the Champions League is already a goal that must be achieved.
“Haaland is a monster, he uses his physicality very well and is a real “killer” in the area. It always moves in the right way, it is like a “cat”. It has put the team on the right “rails” because Haaland is a true number nine.
City won the championship even without a striker, but now they have no more excuses as far as the Champions League is concerned. They have suffered in Europe before, but with Haaland it is a different story. When they lost to Chelsea in the final, Guardiola played without a striker, but now something like that doesn’t happen anymore”, said Evra.
