Erling Haaland hasn’t scored in his last two Champions League appearances for Manchester City. The pressure is building on the Norwegian, as he looked visually displeased during their outing against RB Leipzig. Haaland is accustomed to scoring a lot of goals and so are his supporters. The striker’s former manager, however, states that the forward should be happy with his performance despite failing to score.

Erling Haaland’s low-scoring run feels unusual after his spectacular debut last season. But, it’s not as bad as Haaland takes it to be. Earlier, even Gary Neville praised the Man City star for his feats.

Erling Haaland has set the standards high. He wants to score game in, game out and that’s something that has been missing for some weeks. The pressure is getting to him and can be noticed on his face. Marco Rose, Haaland’s manager at Borussia Dortmund, however, states that he did good in City’s game against Leipzig and should be happy.

The RB Leipzig manager, in the post-match interview with tv2, says, “Erling wouldn’t be where he is now if he didn’t get angry. He always wants to score goals. When he scores one goal, he wants to score two. If I see him afterwards, I’ll tell him that they won, so he should be happy.”

Erling had many shots on target but wasn’t able to convert them into goals. Rose further adds to his comments as he says, “Does he take it personally? He does! He does but in a good way. He’s motivated for the next game and the game after that. Erling is Erling and he’s going to score goals.”
