A Manchester City marksman is taking it one game at a time as his strong season continued against Brentford

In an interview published on mancity.com, Erling Haaland said he was happy that Manchester City beat Brentford yesterday. But he reiterated that City can only rest and focus on their next opponent, and nothing else. He explained: “It feels good to win 3-0. We just missed the last shot on goal today. We created a lot of chances and didn’t get the last shot on a lot of crosses. Brentford defended well. They are a good team. There are no easy games in the Premier League. So we are happy.”

“I haven’t thought of any other game. Just tired playing this game. How we approach the next game is to not think of any other games for two days and then try to win the next game. Recover. Then next game and then same again.bIf you play for Manchester City, you think of titles every single day.”

Erling Haaland’s strong season continued as Manchester City beat Brentford 3-0.

As Erling Haaland said, all Manchester City can do is focus on their next opponent. They play Crystal Palace next at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night in another crucial Premier League fixture. There is nothing to gain from Pep Guardiola’s side looking to fatigue ahead at this stage. All that matters to City is beating Crystal Palace and picking up another three points.

Having said that, Erling Haaland continued his strong season by scoring City’s second goal yesterday and adding an assist for Omar Marmoush to make it 3-0 late on. Haaland was far from Manchester City’s man-of-the-match yesterday. Jeremy Doku claimed that crown with a superb performance. However, Haaland played an important role in City’s win as he never stopped working for his team. He got his rewards in the second half with his goal and assist.

So far this season, Erling Haaland has scored 37 goals and added 8 assists in 50 appearances in all competitions. In the Premier League alone, Haaland has scored 26 goals, and all eight of his assists have come in the Premier League. The Norwegian international has had another strong season. That does get overlooked at times, given that Haaland is held to a higher standard than other strikers. Manchester City wouldn’t be in the position they are in, still fighting for a domestic treble, without Haaland’s stellar form this season. His performance yesterday was another example of how important Haaland is to Pep Guardiola’s side.

Erling Haaland said yesterday that all his team can do is focus on winning their next match, and that is it. Nothing else matters for Manchester City. Haaland’s statement is true, and City will be hoping that Haaland picks up where he left off against Brentford when City take on Crystal Palace on Wednesday night.
