Erling Haaland says Pep Guardiola is ‘a bit crazy’ in Manchester City training as he reflected on his first fortnight of pre-season at his new club.
Haaland made the perfect start to life as a City player as he scored the only goal of the game in the 12th minute, to secure a 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich, converting a Grealish cross at the Lambeau Field in Wisconsin.
The 22-year-old in post-match in Green Bay, describe Guardiola’s training sessions as ‘crazy’ as they return from the US to prepare for the Community Shield next week.
“It’s good. I have to say the first time winning against Bayern [Munich], it was about time after seven losses in a row,” Haaland reflected.
“To beat Bayern feels good and the quality is good. It was a real test before Liverpool in a week.
“I don’t want to speak too much about Dortmund but Guardiola is a bit crazy and I like that. I cannot tell you too much about this after one week but I’ve been training well and I’m ready for what is next.”
As you can imagine, this has the club’s supporters talking, and they have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts. You can see some of the best comments from the social media platform below.

“Probably his way of saying that Pep is passionate, he’s not that great at expressing himself in english, Haaland.”

“What I love about this guy. He only answers your questions. Doesn’t answer around the question or entertain certain interviewers. Professional at such a young age. We honestly have a gem.”
