Erling Haaland, striker for Manchester City, has voiced his unwavering support for coach Pep Guardiola, who is navigating one of the most challenging periods of his career. With the team suffering nine defeats in their last twelve matches, including a recent 2-1 loss to Aston Villa, Haaland emphasized the squad's continued belief in their manager.

Self-Criticism and Team Accountability

Haaland, currently enduring a three-game goal drought, acknowledged his own shortcomings during this rough patch:

"The first thing I have to do is look at myself. I’m not doing well enough. I’m not finishing the chances I get. I need to do better."

Addressing the team's struggles, he added:

"Our confidence levels aren’t at their best, and we know how crucial that is. We have to keep going and stay positive, even though it’s tough right now."

Unwavering Faith in Guardiola

Despite the mounting losses, Haaland reaffirmed his trust in Guardiola's leadership and highlighted his track record of success:

"We’ll never forget that he’s a coach who’s won six Premier League titles in seven years. He’ll find solutions. That’s what he’s done every year. We still believe in him."

Haaland also stressed the importance of collective effort:

"We need to work harder than ever. This is football, and we know we’ll get through it."
