Erling Haaland: “We have not reached our standards — it is difficult to say this season has been successful”
The main scorer of "Manchester City" and the Norwegian national team striker Erling Haaland shared his personal thoughts on the team's results in the Premier League this season.
Currently, "City" under the management of Josep Guardiola is in fourth place in the English Premier League with 65 points. This situation is not satisfactory for fans and players compared to the club's high standards in recent years.
Haaland: “Such results cannot be satisfactory”
— If you have won the championship in the Premier League four times in a row, not winning the fifth feels like a definite step back. We have set such high demands and standards. Therefore, it is difficult to assess the season as successful, — said Haaland.
He emphasized that the team has not been able to show consistent performance this season and has lost many important points. The lack of winning streaks has also contributed to the team's struggle for the championship.
— We have not been able to achieve enough winning streaks. More mental stability and serious preparation were needed in important games, — he added.
Injuries and loss of form — but no excuses
Haaland also touched on the injuries within the team but did not see this as a main excuse:
— Yes, several key players were injured during the season. However, this cannot be an ordinary excuse for a club at this level. Every player must be at their best. If not, winning in this country is very complicated, — he said.
The goal – still ahead
At the same time, Haaland noted that "City" still has a chance for the Champions League in the current situation. According to him, all players need to perform with determination in the final matches to finish the season on a high note.
