Erling Haaland shares why facing Arsenal next week is a problem
Erling Haaland has now expressed a concern regarding the upcoming Premier League clash between Arsenal and Manchester City.
The 23-year-old made 𝓀the comments when speaking to VG in Norway.
So, what did Erling Haaland say about Arsenal? Let’s take a look…
Erling Haaland expresses concern about playing Arsenal
Well, the Manchester City No.9 shared some concerns he holds over the difference in quality between the Czech Republic – Norway’s first oppon꧂ents during the international break – and Arsenal.
Haaland appears to suggest that facing a team such as🐟 the Czech Republic before taking on the Gunners is not the ideal preparation for such a huge game in the Premier League title race.
The No🦹rw𓄧ay international : “The problem is not playing the games, but the quality. The quality goes down.
“It’s nice to play for the country, but it’s different to facing Arsenal next weekend versus the Czech Republic at✃ home. I won’t lie. There is a big difference, but what do you do? There are as many matches as possible in the calendar. That seems to be the goal.”
Haaland makes a good point.
Intensiꦜty is a major par✅t of football nowadays, and the Norwegian could be in for a real shock against Arsenal if the Czech Republic make life too easy for him over the international break.
Of course, Haaland will know what to expect from Arsenal having already made appearances against the Gunners, although facing a lesser side i🅘n the Czech Republic is not the most ideal warmup for the towering striker, it must be said.
Record against the Gunners
Haaland – who G🤡ilberto Silva claims would not suit Mikel Arteta’s style o🎉f play – boasts an impressive r𒁏ecord against Arsenal.
As aforesaid, the Leeds-born striker has made five appearances against the Gunners since arriving at Manchester City, and has registeredꦯ four goal involvements in those games.
Haaland has two goals and two assists against Arsenal – winning three and 🌳losing two of these five match🐠es.
That should give the Manchester City t💟alisman confidence going into next Sunday’s crucial Premier League clash, although he sounds as if Norway’s fr♊iendly against the Czech Republic is somewhat playing on his mind.
