Haaland’s hat-trick propels Man City back to Premier League summit. Haaland said, “Sometimes we start a bit late because we’re playing the last fixtures as we’re the strongest team.
“That’s how it goes. We’ll only get better from this.
“The start has been extraordinary. It’s a perfect start.
“But we have a much higher level, and we’re working towards that.”
Haaland admits that the Saturday’s win was a “perfect ending” to the week, following his PFA Player of the Year award on Tuesday and UEFA Player of the Year on Thursday.
Haaland continued, “We started a bit sloppy, but we ended well.
“It’s an important win, 4/4, and we go into the international break with a really good start.
“In the end, we won 5-1, and it’s well-deserved. It’s a perfect ending to this week.”
Juanma Lillo has taken on a crucial role in the last two matches – victories against the Blades and the Cottagers – as manager Pep Guardiola recovers from back surgery.
Haaland admits he, like Juanma, is pleased with the boss’s return.
He added, “He remembers us, and we remember him.
“We look forward to his return.”
In conclusion, Erling Haaland is thrilled with Manchester City’s impressive start to the 2023/24 season but believes there is even more potential to be unlocked. The team is aiming for a much higher level, and Haaland’s remarkable performances are a testament to the club’s ambition. With the return of Pep Guardiola on the horizon, the future looks promising for Manchester City.
