The turmoil over Manchester City's Champions League exit is still spreading, and of course, the media focus is inevitably on Haaland, with criticism of him rising one after another. However, we must face up to the reality that in this era, there are always some people who are keen to chase hot topics and always seem to want to be the "roundworm" in the stomach of others.
In the case of Palmer, when his Premier League goals at Chelsea were equal to Haaland's, some media began to use the topic to hype that Pep Guardiola had regretted the decision to let Palmer go, as if they had already seen everything and talked about Guardiola's regrets. Similarly, when Haaland was substituted in the Champions League match with Real Madrid due to request, some people began to sneer, claiming that they had already seen everything and that Haaland deserved not to win the Ballon d'Or.
In my opinion, this kind of follow-up comments and criticism is undoubtedly one-sided and irresponsible. Fans should look at the performance of each player with a more objective and rational attitude, rather than blindly following the trend.
Seeing the reaction of Manchester City fans after the Champions League exit made me deeply realize that the support of fans has played a vital role in the transformation of this team from a civilian to a local tyrant and then to a giant.
When I browsed the Manchester City fan forums, I read their comments about Haaland and I was touched by the sincerity and understanding. In their eyes, Haaland is a player born for the team, willing to sacrifice himself for the team's victory. In their hearts, Haaland is irreplaceable, and despite all the criticism from the outside world, Manchester City fans have always maintained their trust and support for him.
For too long, I have been puzzled by the unfounded accusations against Haaland. He was like being attached to Mu Shuai's fate, no matter how hard he tried, there was always a group of people who attacked him for no reason. For example, in the selection of the Ballon d'Or at the beginning of the year, although Haaland did not build momentum and did not express dissatisfaction with Messi's award, the Internet was full of inexplicable accusations against him. His goal was downplayed as "eating the cake", and when he didn't, he was ridiculed as "not even eating the cake". This double standard is reminiscent of Jose Mourinho, who was criticised for playing ugly when he won and blamed for revealing his true form when he lost.
However, as Pep Guardiola said, Manchester City's treble last year was inseparable from Haaland's outstanding performance. Players are human beings, they have ups and downs, they make mistakes, but that shouldn't be a reason for us to blame them. As the saying goes, "Drink water and don't forget the man who digs the well." "We should cherish and appreciate the players who have worked hard for the team in key moments.
So I want to give kudos to those true Manchester City fans. They have supported their players with concrete actions and will not allow Haaland to repeat the mistakes of Mourinho. Their understanding and support is an important motivation for Manchester City to continue to move forward. Hopefully, some media will be able to keep some of their mouths shut, and when we point our fingers at others, we don't forget that there are three fingers pointing at ourselves.
Finally, we look forward to your likes and followers.
