In the 7th round of the Premier League, Manchester City 1-0 Brentford away, and Haaland scored the only goal in the game. The player was interviewed after the game and talked about the team and his own state.

You seemed very frustrated after being tied by Monaco 2-2 in the middle of the week. Did the team respond correctly in this game?

"Yes, that's the beauty of football. In a big club like Manchester City, there are usually new opportunities soon, because there are many games, including the Champions League, the Cup and the Premier League. So we got new opportunities and won the game, and it was before the international match day, which is great.

From the defensive performance, you didn't score more goals and the final stages of the game became very nervous. Do you feel a little frustrated in this situation?

"Of course, you always want to create opportunities and strive to score a second goal, which is what you want to do on the court, but that's the reality, the opponent's long pass tactics are done well. We need to adapt and be prepared, and it is not easy to create opportunities in the face of these tall central defenders. Ultimately, we adapted to the game and won the game, which is what I really care about. "

Talking about the new normal of the team

" It takes time to establish a tacit understanding with other players, and we will strengthen this connection through targeted training. But to be honest, the collaboration with Kevin (De Bruyne) is a bit different because we are already familiar with some of his movements and habits, so you can predict the running position and movements. But no matter what, it takes time, and I believe that tacit understanding is gradually forming. For example, in the match against Monaco a few days ago, Phil (Fourden) and I almost succeeded a little bit in cooperation. I believe we will see results soon. ”

谈进球

“传球很精彩,我也料到了对方会如何防守,对抗很激烈,在我看来,这是个不可思议的进球,我特别喜欢,因为我成功摆脱了他,然后直接起脚射门,什么都没想,就是狠狠地抽射。 ”

谈自己理想的位置、在什么样的情况下能发挥自己全部的实力

“我觉得这要看情况,当然,不同的门将风格也不同,有些喜欢站位靠前,通常德国的门将会稍微站得靠前一些,而其他门将则喜欢出击,比如热刺的门将,所以这取决于谁站在球门前,你需要分析并适应这种情况。 Of course, I shouldn't talk about this publicly, but I like to play in the close corners. I like this way of scoring, and I like to pick and shoot. I like many different ways of shooting, depending on the specific situation. ”
