Josep Guardiola commented sarcastically on the enthusiastic reaction to Erling Haaland’s performance.
– Will Haaland be one of the best players in the EPL? What is your reaction to the fact that people compare him to Messi?
– I admire people who are able to foresee the future. I cannot do that. A month ago he was a real disaster, and now he is ready to break every record. I am not a foreteller. I do not know what will happen tomorrow. Think what could happen in two years.
We are thrilled with how he is adapting here. But the coaching staff and staff of the club are also important in this process. They help newcomers to adapt. His teammates are also very good. All this is the most important thing.
– Are you going to split up the job that Haaland gets?
He is 22 years old. He recovers well. When he is 32, it will be a problem. At 22, it is not a problem,” Guardiola said.
The footballer has 9 goals and one assist in five EPL matches. He scored three goals in each of the last two matches.
