Manchester City manager Josep Guardiola spoke about the emotional conversation he had with striker Erling Haaland after their 3-2 defeat to Leeds in the 13th round of the Premier League. Sport24.az reports that the Spanish specialist made a statement to Goal about this:
"He will do it, he will score his 100th goal in the next game. We were just talking about rest. He has a huge body structure. Minute by minute - at some point you need to be refreshed. Rest is not only for the legs (points to head). He is not like Phil or Jeremy. They can recover faster. Erling is physically huge and recovers a bit late. We really need it".
It should be noted that. After the meeting with Leeds, an emotional argument broke out between Haaland and Guardiola. The Norwegian could not score in that match. He currently has 99 goals in the Premier League. He has played 22 games in all tournaments this season, scored 22 goals and made 2 assists.
