Erling Haaland, the Norwegian international striker for Manchester City, has hinted at his desire to improve even further, sending a warning to the club’s rivals in various competitions this season.
Manchester City is currently competing at the top of the Premier League and is still in contention for a back-to-back Treble, with FA Cup fifth-round and Champions League last-16 ties coming up.
Haaland has recently returned to full fitness after battling a bone stress problem in his foot for the last two months. Despite his absence, Manchester City has continued to perform well, with Julian Alvarez stepping up in the striker role.
With 24 goal contributions across all competitions, Haaland has been a standout performer for the team this season.
In an interview with Manchester City’s official club podcast, he expressed his desire to improve and become more solid with the team in the biggest games.
“There’s loads of things to still improve. When you play so many games, it’s difficult to train because you have to get ready and do the stuff that gets you fit for the next game,” Haaland explained.
The Norwegian striker continued, “I want to become even better with the team, to be more solid with the team and to perform in the biggest games. And I want to recreate the things we did last season.”
Manchester City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, has confirmed that Haaland is ready to start for the team in their upcoming match against Brentford.
The team understands the importance of securing a victory to maintain pressure on top rivals like Liverpool and Arsenal in the Premier League.
Haaland’s return to full fitness and his ambition to improve further serve as a warning to Manchester City’s rivals across competitions this season.
As they continue to compete at the top of the Premier League and navigate through other competitions, Haaland’s presence and determination will undoubtedly bolster the team’s chances for success.
