Haaland has decided to join Manchester City for a transfer fee of 60 million euros, and the salary will not be higher than de Bruyne, so this means that Manchester City should give Haaland a high signing fee, or Haaland is unlikely to accept a weekly salary contract of about 350,000 euros. So the Premier League is coming to an end? Is the Champions League coming to an end? For Manchester City, Haaland's arrival just solved the problem of the front, Alvarez will come next season, so the team has two different styles of center forwards, who will Guardiola buy? Or why would Guardiola buy Haaland?
Buying Kane this season shows that Guardiola wants a center, not because he wants to change, but because Aguero is out of the team
This year to buy Kane, the final failure, the team bought Glallish, and then this year's key games in the Champions League, the team is the lack of a centre-forward who can score, that is, a goal is missing, the team can qualify, but no one can always complete this goal. So this Time the Champions League can also see that the team does not have the problem of center forward. It is a pity that Kane did not complete the transfer, but it also gave Manchester City a chance, that is, in the case of Haaland's summer severance payment, Manchester City can buy a good center forward at a lower price.
So after Aguero left, the team needed a center forward, which is why he bought a center, and Jesus obviously can't be a core center in Manchester City, which leads to Slow can only buy better center players. As for many people saying that Ibrahimovic did not perform well before coming to Barca, then Haaland can perform well? In fact, you can't see it this way, a head coach's tactics will change and improve over time. That's why many people have said that Kane wouldn't have a chance if he didn't join Manchester City last summer.
Second, why did you choose Haaland?
Because Haaland is theoretically also Kane's style, isn't it a bit of a surprise? Haaland looked closely at the style of play, although it was a center forward, but sometimes it was also capable of maneuvering, and it was not the traditional center player who would only stand in the penalty area and wait for opportunities. It is still very suitable for the current Manchester City tactics. The point is that Haaland is not slow either.
So that's why City will buy Haaland, this is not a center in the traditional sense, but he does have a good scoring ability in the box, but after coming to Manchester City, he should not play more in defense, because of his height and weight, more participation in defense will be more likely to be injured. Basically you can look at Haaland as Kane, but this is a younger Kane. After having Haaland, the team has at least one height, and in key games, there is less need to attack with ink. This is the key.
But a lot of people seem to have forgotten About Alvarez
The combination of Alvarez and Haaland may be something to look forward to, he is not tall enough center, probably similar to Martinez, both short in height, but good foot skills, good scoring ability, if he and Haaland partner, it should be a combination similar to Sancho and Haaland. So City got two good centre-forwards, and the style was completely different.
The next step is to strengthen the midfield and full-backs, the right-back seems to need to be strengthened, if these two positions are good young people, next season Manchester City may really have no suspense about winning the Champions League. So it looks like City's problem with the centre-forward has been solved in the middle of the season, and Haaland's signing should have started after the winter window. Sure enough, Guardiola wanted to have some tactical changes of his own. Therefore, Haaland came, it should be determined in the winter window, And Alvarez joined the winter window, and the team knew its own problems. However, the team may not have found itself in the right-back problem before, so there are transfer rumors in the midfield, and it is almost completed, the right-back does not seem to have any news?
Next season's finale will not be, but City's ability to tackle tough problems will be greatly improved. It's a terrible thing, Manchester City are now averaging about 15 or more shots per game, and if they can take five goals per game, then they may average five goals per game. But the team definitely needs a period of run-in.
