Manchester City once again demonstrated their dominance in the Premier League in their first game of the season, Guardiola's men clinching their first 2-0 win over West Ham. Erling Haaland, who was criticized after a disappointing performance against Liverpool in the Community Shield, immediately responded with two goals against West Ham.
Haaland brace against West Ham made him only the second Manchester City player to score twice on his Premier League debut, before Sergio Aguero did the same in 2011. This victory is very valuable for Manchester city and Haaland, Guardiola men started the season with perfect results.
It wasn't so difficult for Manchester City to win in the opener, they had a tight match from West Ham, but because of how difficult they played, then two goals were created in that match, Erling Haaland answered people's criticism about his quality, where Haaland's pre-season seemed to have difficulty adapting at home. early join.
You know, there is one thing that Haaland is having a hard time with, which is related to communication, where the player can't speak English
In terms of quality, Manchester City's players are far superior to West Ham United and I think they deserved this win.
And to talk about the title I think it's still quite early because to be a champion is not only because of a good game but the consistency of the team until the end of the season.
in this match I think Haaland was in the spotlight because he was able to score 2 goals and dismissed the bad news about him for failing to show his best performance last weekend against Liverpool.
Haaland is a very quality player, I have no doubts that he will improve greatly with Manchester City, at a very young age but he has above average power and ability.
It's true what you said, that to get to the title race, it's still too early to analyze, Haaland is indeed a young player who is quite talented but in that game there are still many opportunities that he can't maximize, even though if he played a little more openly, it's not not maybe can score three goals in the opening match, but the quality of a Haaland is enough to qualify in that match
