Guardiola Relying on Haaland alone will not help us Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has spoken of his team starting their Champions League campaign against Sevilla on Tuesday. Guardiola said at a press conference,
"Stones Walker is injured, we are lucky that the club signed Manuel Akanji, otherwise we would have a big problem. "Because of the number of games in recent years, players are no longer able to last long, in general, Stones' injury is not serious, as is Kyle's, but I do not know if he will be ready for Saturday's game or Dortmund or Wolverhampton Wanderers or after the international break, it's a muscle injury."
Guardiola Relying on Haaland alone will not help us
- About his first memories of Erling Halland in the Champions League, he said, "I remember watching a game in the locker room where he scored three or four goals.
- Given his priority this year between the Champions League and the Premier League, he added: In sport you always get another chance, this is a tough competition (champions) and I'm proud to be part of it.
- We've been trying since day one but we haven't reaped much, we were in the final last year, I don't know what'll happen tomorrow or against Dortmund or Copenhagen, it's about the level, if we're not good we'll go home and we'll be punished by the fans and the media and then we'll move on.
- Last season we struggled to be here, we know how difficult it is, Spanish teams control Europe, I would like to have a story like Sevilla's, City is very far from Sevilla in Europe, tomorrow we will try to make a good game and get the three points.
- He commented on how competitive Haaland is compared to Messi and Ronaldo in Europe: "All the players are trying to improve our level, that helps us win titles, and if we rely only on Haaland we will not win the Champions League, we try to create chances for him to score goals, we convinced him to join us because we do not have enough strikers, he tried to adapt to our style of play and he adapted well."
- "I understand that everyone is talking about Erling, but I've 3, 4 or 5 new players who need to adapt, we don't win or lose just because of Erling, he's great quality and can solve some problems, but if we don't play well, we won't win games."
