In a key match in the 8th round of the English Premier League that ended on the evening of October 20, Beijing time, the defending champion Manchester City reversed Wolves 2-1 away and struggled to get three points. Despite the victory with the team, Norway striker Haaland had a depressing 1 game in this game, and he almost "disappeared" throughout the game, without a single shot on goal.
Haaland started the whole game in this game, but without De Bruyne, Haaland lacked the master to "feed him", and Gundogan and B Xi and others seemed to lack the awareness and idea of passing the ball to the penalty area. Throughout the game, Haaland was lost in the marking of the Wolves defenders, and sighed helplessly in the return run.
In the 49th minute, Savio broke through and crossed, and Haaland grabbed the point to shoot, which turned out to be the only shot of Haaland creating a threat in the attack. According to the statistics after the game, Haaland had 0 shots on goal in this game, only 13 touches of the ball in the whole game, but lost the ball 5 times, and won 3 duels 0.
Haaland has failed to score in three consecutive Premier League games since failing to score in this game, with the last time he scored in the league coming in a 2-2 draw with Arsenal a month ago.
After the game, Haaland was emotionally engaged with coach Pep Guardiola, apparently complaining that his teammates had given him too few passes and not enough support, and Guardiola also seemed to reprimand Manchester City midfielders such as Bench B. Indeed, if Manchester City wants to win more easily in the future, it really shouldn't let Haaland waste energy and "sit on the ball" like this.
