Manwan: If Haaland can regain Manchester City s form in his first season, it will change the Premier League championship situation

August 18th, Manchester City beat Wolves 4-0 away in the first round of the Premier League, and Haaland made a double hit. Manchester Evening News talked about Haaland's performance.

Although everyone is praising Reindez's Premier League debut, Haaland's performance in the first round of the season cannot be ignored. This is Haaland's fourth consecutive season in the Premier League opening game, and it is also his third time for Manchester City to score two goals in a single game in the opening game of the season.

After this game, Haaland scored a total of 87 goals in 98 Premier League games, a record that is amazing enough, but it seems to be accustomed to it. Haaland made 53 appearances at Manchester City in his first season, scoring 52 goals, including 36 goals in the Premier League. In the second season, Haaland scored 38 goals in 45 games, compared with 34 goals in 48 games last season. Judging from the data, Haaland's performance has declined, or it can be said that the opponent's defense has found a way to limit Haaland.

However, in the game against Wolves, Haaland seemed to have regained his peak form. His first goal was a typical center-shot easy push, and the second goal ended very well. Haaland looked unhappy when he was replaced in the 73rd minute, as he had the chance to score a hat trick, but Guardiola had seen enough.

After the game, the Manchester City coach made an interesting comment on Haaland's performance, which may worry the Premier League team's defense. Guardiola said: "He is better than ever, and I see Haaland's speed and rhythm and how that helps the team. It's very similar to his first season here, we need him."

If Haaland can return to the level he came to Manchester City's first season, then other teams will be scared, and he was unstoppable at the time. He has been the best striker in the world since then, and if Haaland can maintain one goal per game in the Premier League, it will completely change the situation of the championship this season.

Manchester City scored only 72 goals in the league last season, and although this cannot be attributed to Haaland, it is a significant decline compared to 99, 94 and 96 goals in the previous three seasons. Haaland scored 22 goals in the Premier League last season, and if he can return to the 36 goals level in his first season, it will make a huge contribution to improving the team's total goals.

If Manchester City wants to regain the championship, they need to play like this. Manchester City’s winning approach against Wolves has made them one of the favorites to win the championship, and if Guardiola’s prediction of Haaland is correct, that will play a decisive role in the battle for the trophy.
