Erling Haaland has taken his game up a gear to begin this season. So far the Norwegian international has scored 18 goals in 14 appearances for Manchester City. Outside of his goals, Haaland has been playing at a level that hasn’t been seen across his career. His overall play has been superb whether that’s his goalscoring, his defensive work at set pieces or his build-up and link-up play with his teammates. In a new interview with mancity.com, Erling Haaland has said he’s never felt better during his career.
Heading into today’s Premier League fixture against Liverpool Haaland will be hoping his strong form continues as he will have a key role to play against Arne Slot’s side at the Etihad Stadium.
Erling Haaland has said that this is the best version of him as a player.
Speaking with mancity.com, Erling Haaland has said that he believes he is playing at a higher level than he has during his career. The Manchester City striker revealed that having a clear mind has helped him reach stunning heights so far this season. Speaking on his strong start to the season, Erling Haaland explained: “*I feel this is the best version of myself – I’ve never felt better than now. To keep sharp, I keep my mind in the right place, recover well, do the right things at home, eat the right things, connect when I have to on the pitch and when I am at home, relax as much as possible to stay balanced and in the zone.*”
A Manchester City star has never felt better and he has a key role to play against Liverpool today
Manchester City need Erling Haaland to play a key role against Liverpool to prosper today.
Today’s match against Liverpool is a massive Premier League fixture for both teams. After Arsenal’s draw against Sunderland yesterday the opportunity is there for City or Liverpool to gain ground on Mikel Arteta’s side on the Premier League table heading into the international break. For Pep Guardiola’s side, they’ll need their best players to perform at the Etihad today, and if Erling Haaland is at his best, it will go a long way to tilting the balance of today’s match in Manchester City’s favour.
Erling Haaland inspires his teammates and his sheer presence strikes fear into Manchester City’s opponents. With Haaland playing at a higher level than at any other stage of his goal-laden career, he has the potential to be a match-winner today. Liverpool defenders Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate and their teammates will be eager to keep Haaland quiet today. But if Manchester City’s number-nine is at his best you do sense that City may have an advantage today that Arne Slot’s side cannot match.
Erling Haaland has taken his game up another level so far this season. He is a more rounded player and that has made him arguably the most dangerous player in the Premier League and possibly European football. Heading into today’s match against Liverpool if Haaland fires, he may decide today’s game. That is what the world’s best players do on the big occasion and you do sense that a big performance is on the horizon from Manchester City’s number-nine.
