Let’s be honest: Guardiola: I’m lucky to have coached Messi, Lewandowski and Haaland. Manchester City relies on him? That’s right.

November 06: Guardiola was interviewed by TNT before the Champions League game, in which he was asked a number of questions.

Guardiola was asked to compare Messi, Lewandowski and Haaland. He said: Messi, as a football player, can retreat and play in deeper positions, and he can be more creative in passing. "

"Haaland and Lewandowski are more finishers, I would say more in the penalty area. But comparing the three's numbers is crazy. That's why I'm lucky enough to have all three. "

When asked about critics who thought Manchester City relied on Haaland, Guardiola replied: "They are right. They are right. That's just the way it is. "

"We have to try to get other players to score goals, and I'm not stupid enough to say they score a lot of goals because we need him very much. But I always had the feeling that we would improve and in many cases other players would score. "

Harland previously renewed his contract with Manchester City until 2034 and was selected to Guardiola's leadership group in the summer. When asked how he made this decision, Guardiola laughed: "Because he signed a 10-year contract. "

"That's the reason, but it's more than that. We see over time how kind and generous he is. He always wants to score goals and he is competitive at the same time. His importance to the team and how much he cares about the staff. That's why it's the best decision I've ever made. "

"He is still the same person when I first met him, always with a smile on his face, always training well, always wanting to play football. "

"He can't be perfect for four or five years and score two or three goals at a time. The expectations were so high but he handled it well. He has a good family, a good private life, takes care of himself, he knows the mistakes he has made in the past and knows how to improve. "
