Haaland is upset about the lack of balls

"It's frustrating," Haaland told Amazon Prime when asked about the 12th round of the Premier League, where Man City won 3-1 at Arsenal on February 15. "Either they don't see me, or think they can create another good opportunity to do something else. Everything depends on the players around me. What's important is good coordination."

The Norwegian striker said he was still integrating with his new teammates and had experienced a similar situation in the 3-1 win over Aston Villa in the 23rd round of the Premier League on February 12. "I told Rodri and Bernardo Silva to pass behind the defence. I said 'please pass like that', but that didn't happen. But everything takes time, once we understand each other properly. , the perfect ball will come," he expressed.

Previously, former defender Jamie Carragher said many times he saw Haaland angry because he was not passed by his teammates, after commenting on five matches of Man City this season. "Haaland will never get the ball in situations like that, because that's not the way Guardiola plays," he commented on Goal. "He wants the team to pass a lot, develop the ball sequentially from the bottom and bring the whole team into the opponent's half. Haaland wants to receive the ball faster."

At the Emirates Stadium on February 15, Haaland touched the ball 34 times, finished three times with two on target and ended a series of three games without a goal. In the 82nd minute, from Kevin de Bruyne's pass, the Norwegian striker took a beat and then finished his right foot diagonally to make the score 3-1. Early in the second half, he also brought home a penalty when Gabriel pulled him down in the penalty area, but was determined offside by VAR.

"Man City play like champions. Everyone agrees that Arsenal have been the best club in the Premier League since the beginning of the season. Therefore, being a guest against Arsenal was not easy. But we played great and won. three important points," Haaland commented on the match.

The 22-year-old striker said coach Pep Guardiola made small adjustments and helped Man City play better in the second half. Haaland half-jokingly said he did not remember what the Spanish teacher told him during the halftime break.

The Norwegian striker also showed a desire to score despite having just scored his 26th goal in 22 matches in the Premier League. "The goals are my life. It's been 20 minutes since I scored the last one. I have to keep working, give my best and score goals," he said.

With 26 goals, Haaland became Man City's player with the most goals in a Premier League season, equal to Sergio Aguero for the whole 2014-2015 season. The Norwegian striker is expected to break this record, and also the 34-goal Premier League record held by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole. But this record was set when the tournament had a total of 42 matches, compared with 38 as it is now. The record for the most goals scored in a season with 38 matches belongs to Mohamed Salah - the Egyptian star scored 32 goals in the 2017-2018 season.

Today, February 18, Haaland and his teammates were guests of Nottingham Forest in the 24th round of the Premier League and then marched to Leipzig's field to kick the 1/8 round of the Champions League on February 22.
