Tuesday 03-03-2026
Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, confirmed that his Norwegian player Erling Haaland is feeling much better, emphasizing the importance of winning upcoming matches and maintaining full points in the Premier League race.

Guardiola said during the press conference before facing Nottingham Forest on Wednesday evening in the 29th round of the Premier League: 'Erling Haaland is feeling much better, but we did not train yesterday, we have training today and we will decide his participation.'

He continued: 'Regarding Nico O'Reilly, it's the same situation, we will decide his participation after today's training, we are in the most important stages of the season, ten games remaining and now things start to settle, we have two matches before the international break, and we are five points behind Arsenal, so we cannot lose any points.'

Guardiola confirmed the positive spirit and optimism: 'It is a great honor to be in March and always hold onto hope, winter is over and February has passed, and in March at five and six in the evening, the night still shines, we are participating in the tournaments and it's a beautiful dream again, except for last season, the Champions League and the FA Cup, and here we are, it’s wonderful to be here, all I care about is preparing for tomorrow.'

The Spanish coach concluded his statements by emphasizing the different playing styles between leagues: 'Football has not been played in one way since its inception, the style of play in England is different from that in Spain or Italy, and that is why the Champions League is special, as coaches in those countries follow different playing styles, how boring it would be if we played the same way, I have to adapt.'
