Joe Cole: Order Restored with Haaland’s Brace, Pep’s Confidence in His Scoring
Erling Haaland scored twice to help Manchester City defeat Young Boys 3-1 in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night, restoring order to the Norwegian’s form and prompting Joe Cole to believe he can score 52 goals regularly.
Haaland had failed to score in his previous two Champions League appearances for City this season, but he found the net twice against Young Boys to take his tally to 11 goals in 14 Premier League and Champions League appearances.
Cole, speaking on BT Sport, said that Haaland’s goalscoring record is « remarkable » and that he believes he can become a regular 52-goal-a-season striker.
« I think that 52 goals a season will be a regular thing for him, » Cole said. « There’s no let up in his movement and he’s the outstanding striker in world football. »
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola also backed Haaland, saying that he is « going to score goals all his life. »
« People expect him to score four goals, » Guardiola said. « People want him to fail. I’m sorry, he will score goals all his life. »
Guardiola also admitted that City sometimes miss the creativity of Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan, but he said that Haaland had plenty of chances against Young Boys and that it is important for him to play as much as possible.
« He had a lot of chances tonight, » Guardiola said. « It is important that he has played as much as possible because he’s going to score until the last day he plays football. »
Haaland’s goalscoring form will be key to City’s success this season, as they look to win the Champions League for the first time.
