Yes, it was Manchester City's successful transfer when they brought in Erling Haaland if we look at it now. How he always contributes to Manchester City in every game. He has scored a total of 13 goals in 8 appearances for Manchester City in the Champions League and also the English League. This is a very good record for a striker who has just experienced the atmosphere of the Premier League which is so fierce. Very promising statistics from a player that Manchester City currently has.
He’s a very promising player; that is very obvious with his performance from the very start of his career at Manchester city. Manchester City works perfectly as in a team and in sync, with accurate passes creating opportunities for goals. Dortmund played really well but Manchester city was better in the end with a late goal to help win the game. If you come to think of it, if he was still in Dortmund, Haaland would have probably scored a late goal against Manchester city to help Dortmund win. That’s the type of player he is. Trying to score till the final whistle.
Haaland is a very talented player. And because of his good fitness, he has been able to play consistently well. Also because Haaland's performances are more consistent and stronger than during his time at Dortmund, Guardiola has placed Haaland at the center of his match strategy. And Manchester City has an experienced midfield. The midfielders are giving Haaland a lot of support to score goals.
Manchester City played defensively against Dortmund. But after conceding a goal in the second half, they started to play with full attacking tactics. And I think that's why they were late to score. If they played an attacking strategy from the beginning of the match, maybe we would have seen several goals in the first half.
