Haaland said goodbye to the Ballon d'Or again, Guardiola can't bring a high striker, the next stop is Barcelona?

Manchester City lost again to Real Madrid, who showed the resilience of the Champions League winners on the road, being stunned by more than 30 shots on goal to be dragged to the penalty shootout. In the first leg 3-3 Real Madrid was relatively weak, Real Madrid, who came to Manchester City's home stadium, still dominated themselves, let Manchester City follow their own ideas, and if there was a reliable center forward, Manchester City would solve Real Madrid within 90 minutes.

But Manchester City's centre-forward is called Haaland. Haaland has yet to score or assist against Real Madrid in his career. This season, the Premier League has faced the top four teams and Real Madrid, and only one goal has been scored in a total of eight games. As the Premier League scorer king last season, and this season continues to lead the scorer list, the data is okay, but if you can't show your performance when you have a strong conversation, you are sorry for the value of 180 million euros, and Mbappe will be worse and worse.

Look at Mbappe facing Barcelona, scoring a brace at Barcelona's home stadium, and Mbappe's participation on the field is also significantly higher than Haaland. Whenever there is a strong dialogue, Paris puts the burden on Mbappe and uses him as the core to attack the city. But once we got to Haaland's side, we could only say that although there were no goals and no assists, tactical value was very important.

But Manchester City need Haaland to play a key role in key games. Manchester City won the league title and Haaland's goal was indispensable. The league is a long season, and the key to keeping the team's results is to score goals consistently against weak teams, and with the overall strength of Manchester City, Haaland's position is replaced by other center forwards, and the overall goals of the whole team will not be bad.

It's different in the Champions League, especially when it comes to the knockout rounds, there is no weak team, you can't score and you put the burden of scoring on him, it's too difficult for Manchester City to win. He won the Champions League last season, but Haaland began to hide from the semi-finals, and Gundogan's midfield had more highlights than him.

Pep Guardiola really doesn't play high strikers. Last season's Manchester City treble, many people retorted, who said that Guardiola would not lead a high striker? Goals are called good goals? With Guardiola's fame, his high school striker must have a key performance in key games. But from Barcelona to Bayern to Manchester City, Ibrahimovich, Lewandowski and Haaland have scored a lot of goals, Lewandowski even scored 5 goals in 9 minutes in the Bundesliga, but it was like a goal like hemp, and Lewandowski was still soft in key games, not to mention Ibrahimovic.

Pep Guardiola's tactical philosophy is inherently unfriendly to high school forwards, and Xiao Lingkuai is a suitable candidate for passing control. The frequency of the high and high strikers will be worse, and if they are involved in the overall passing, they will be slower, and even if Haaland is at speed, it will be somewhat worse. So Pep Guardiola can only develop more of Haaland's roles, such as standing, headers and fulcrums.

And these points happen to be what Mourinho-style managers are good at, and they are a little awkward to use in Pep Guardiola's team. A strong, tall body standing there, watching his teammates fall under their feet and not getting more good opportunities, is a place to be in a crucial game.

If Haaland is given to Simeone, Simeone's team will definitely be able to easily eliminate Dortmund to advance to the Champions League semifinals, and can also become Real Madrid's strongest rival in La Liga, and even win the championship. Pep Guardiola's development of Haaland's new skills has made him more and more suitable for the kind of team that can counter-attack quickly.

I still like to watch Haaland's wide-open and closed way of scoring goals during the Dort period, which makes people feel that his whole body is stretched, and how comfortable he looks at his big physique. After coming to Manchester City, for the so-called passing control, Haaland always played "restrained", and he couldn't use the feeling of force. It looks like the illusion of embroidering a martial champion, and if Guardiola continues to be instructed like this, Haaland's growth will be extremely limited.

In the face of such a heavyweight game as Real Madrid, Guardiola said after the game that Haaland was replaced halfway through the game because he took the initiative to say that he could not continue the game. It's really hard to figure out how young you can't play the whole game when you're not injured. It is said that Haaland has played too many games, and he has no strength to play a high-intensity game like Real Madrid. But the rest of the people, including the Real Madrid players, also play twice a week, and everyone can insist on playing 120 minutes, why can't he?

Haaland is not the only player who proposes to rest if he can't hold on in this game, which shows that the fighting spirit in the Manchester City team is not strong, and the core players who ask to go down to rest are not known if there is something wrong with the dressing room. There is no chance in the Champions League, and it depends on whether Manchester City can hold on to the Premier League title.

In fact, Guardiola has encountered a bottleneck in the Premier League, so it is better to choose to rest after class like Klopp. If Pep Guardiola still coaches Manchester City next season, Guardiola can really consider joining Barcelona, which can provide Haaland with more core positions he wants, and the right way to play.

What's more, if Mbappe comes to Real Madrid, then the Spanish derby Haaland will be able to face Mbappe directly face-to-face. Barcelona can help Haaland reach the peak of commercial value, Barcelona has not looked at the results in recent years and is poor, but it is still in the top two of the world's most valuable football clubs, the first is Real Madrid.

It is an indisputable fact that it is definitely easier to win the Ballon d'Or at Barcelona than at Manchester City with all equal results. Bringing the La Liga national derby back to its former glory is also a good thing for the majority of fans.
