After scoring a hat trick with Man City, Guardiola's unexpected criticism of Haaland

Erling Haaland had an important performance for Manchester City in the last Premier League match. After having a start of 2023 far from his best, the Norwegian returned to the goal against Tottenham, but gave the best performance of all against Wolverhampton where he scored three goals.

In this way, the Norwegian striker reached 16 hat tricks in his career at just 22 years of age, one of the best records of several strikers in history and even above Kylian Mbappe. The Manchester City striker has already scored 25 goals in the current Premier League season.

However, despite the victory, Pep Guardiola was critical of the Norwegian's style of play. While he said that his numbers are fantastic, he also highlighted one of the striker's main shortcomings, and that if he plays more comfortably, he can score even more goals.

What did Pep Guardiola say about Haaland?

The Citizens coach stated in a post-match press conference that Erling Haaland "is not the kind of player who will play the ball 10 meters outside the box. It's not his ability. He has to receive inside and finish as he does".
