These two goals have helped Haaland score 26 goals this season for Man City and the Norwegian national team. For Man City, Haaland has scored 17 goals in just 13 matches, an impressive form. According to Guardiola, Haaland is playing at the same level as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of performance.
This is the feeling when you play with Messi or Ronaldo, Haaland has a huge influence, he said. His statistics show that.
Messi and Ronaldo have done it for 15 years, but Haaland has also shown his class. The first goal, the way he shoots, it's like 'I'm about to score'.
Haaland has that desire. It's amazing. I said he was easy to manage and easy to manage.
Sometimes I was quite strict with Haaland, but he was very open. He lives for the goal of scoring and sometimes the pressure cannot last for 90 minutes, but that is normal.
This victory helped Man City rise to 2nd place in the rankings. According to Guardiola, Man City would have a very difficult time without Haaland. But at the moment, the Etihad team is in a favorable situation as Haaland continues to score, the players are all full of energy.
Another impressive case was Ryan Cherki, who had 2 assists for Haaland to score. He was injured and out of action for a long time. According to Guardiola, Cherki is a special talent.
He said: "Cherki's vision in the final third of the pitch is very good and he has stability and courage when playing football. With his dynamic playing style, he needs a little more time to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League.
He scored a goal and assisted a goal against Swansea. Today, he had two assists and possesses special talent, the ability to connect with teammates on the attack line, it is unique.
In the next round of the Premier League, Man City will continue to play at home to welcome Liverpool.
