Pep Guardiola Stands by Haaland Citing Tough Week and Remarkable Scoring Record

Pep Guardiola defended Erling Haaland against critics asserting that the prolific Norwegian will silence them with his goal-scoring abilities. Haaland’s decisive goal against Brentford propelled Manchester City to second place in the Premier League just one point behind leaders Liverpool.

Guardiola expressed empathy for Haaland mentioning the recent loss of his grandmother and highlighting the striker’s resilience. Guardiola also addressed Kevin De Bruyne’s absence due to a hamstring issue but assured it was a precautionary measure.

Haaland’s goal against Brentford marked a historic achievement as he has now scored against all 21 opponents he has faced in the Premier League joining Harry Kane in this feat.
