Guardiola responds to Haaland’s criticism: “Is he a third division coach?” | international football

Haaland goes viral after errors in City’s silly circle

For the Manchester City coach, former players who become commentators end up forgetting their past and the way they suffered criticism in their careers.

– I don’t agree with him. Absolutely not. Is he a second or third division coach? I don’t think so. I’m surprised when this comes from former players. Memory fades quickly. They failed a thousand times, a million times, and they were hurt when they were criticized by former players – said Guardiola.

Haaland was criticized for his performance in the game against Arsenal, which ended in a 0-0 draw. On that occasion, the striker was unable to finish on goal and only touched the ball 23 times.

– He is the best striker in the world and helped us win what we won last season. The reason we didn’t create many chances against Arsenal wasn’t Haaland. We need more presence in the final third, with more players – added Guardiola.
