Haaland Addresses Man City’s Struggles
Haaland did not shy away from addressing the underlying issues affecting Man City. He acknowledged the significant impact of injuries but emphasized that these should not be used as excuses for the team’s underwhelming form. “We can cite numerous reasons like injuries—many injuries happening at crucial times,” he stated.
