Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola appeared in a press conference to talk about Sunday's confrontation against Ipswich Town in the 22nd round of the English Premier League.
The coach said about renewing his contract. Haaland: “He wants to show that he wants to be here otherwise all players sign contracts for one or two years. In 10 years many things can happen but it is evidence of the trust between him and the club. You never know what might happen in the coming years but The club knows how much Being professional every day to show his talent, was what he wanted and this is due to the club’s trust.”
He added: “Of course he can improve, we all can. The club and the team must create an environment and moments Where he can be unstoppable is when he is at his best it is more than anything about understanding the game and during the game and what decisions he has to make, he is still young and as the game and matches mature it will happen. Natural.”
And about the possibility of Haaland breaking more records in the English Premier League: “If he continues the numbers he has recorded since his arrival, then yes, it will depend on The team and the player, but it is exceptional news for the club.”
Regarding Haaland’s goals and motivations: “I don’t know, I didn’t ask him. Maybe winning the next game and the drive to score goals. I don't have a feeling he's going to say "I'm going to take a nap" now that he's got this contract. He's a great competitor, he loves the club and the people around him. He loves the Premier League and living here with his family. He must feel there is no better place for him to be in the next 10 years.”
On Phil Foden scoring two goals against Brentford: “Not bad how he is doing lately. His mood and smile have to be taken into account, in the first half of the year I was a bit anxious and he was more sad. But sometimes you need to breathe and come back. "His natural talent will do the rest."
He continued: "The confidence has always been there and in the last month or month and a half, in another environment I would not have been here."
And former academy star Liam Delap, who now plays for Ipswich: “He's doing really well. A lot of players have come through this academy, we thought he was a typical Premier League striker and he is doing really well. We are happy for him.”
He concluded: “Who would have wanted Haaland to renew the club? I think it's both. The club would not have agreed to offer this deal if Erling was not absolutely sure about sacrificing ten years of his life to one club. Both parties are happy and they did it.”
He concluded: “Haaland’s condition? We'll see, yesterday, we were on vacation and now we're going to train so we'll see. Some players ended up with some problems like every game so we'll see."
