Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has thrown his support behind manager Pep Guardiola following the team’s disappointing 2-1 loss to Aston Villa on Saturday.
Despite a lone goal from Phil Foden, City fell short at Villa Park, with strikes from Jhon Duran and Morgan Rogers securing the win for the home side. The defeat marks a troubling stretch for the defending champions, who have won just one of their last 12 matches across all competitions under Guardiola.
Speaking after the match, Haaland expressed unwavering confidence in Guardiola’s ability to turn things around, highlighting the Spaniard’s extraordinary track record.
“Pep Guardiola won the Premier League six times in seven years. We will never forget that,” Haaland stated. “He will find the solutions. We still believe in Pep, and we have to work harder than ever right now.”
With City’s current form raising eyebrows, Haaland’s rallying cry signals the team’s determination to overcome their slump and get back to their winning ways under Guardiola’s leadership.
