Haaland has performed poorly recently. What other problems does Guardiola use him?

Recently, something fun happened when playing football manager game, that is, Haaland broke up with Guardiola, and then took the initiative to say he wanted to leave. At the end of a Premier League match, I saw this news in the news column.

The reason is that his personality is not in line. Haaland doesn't like Guardiola and the team. He is tired of the environment here and wants to leave Manchester City.

This soap opera was in the game for more than a month, and Manchester City finally sold Haaland to Real Madrid.

In the competition with Manchester City, I have also discovered many times that the opponent has a strange tactic, that is, the team will pursue passes too much and never passes. There are very few passes in a game and they can only hit the ground.

Haaland was placed in front of him and he didn't let him compete for a header, which made him perform limitedly in the team.

There was a season before that, when I used Chelsea to meet Manchester City four or five times, I encountered it in the FA Cup, League Cup, and League. Haaland's score was pitifully low every time and I couldn't bear to look at it.

Compared with reality, Haaland will be PUA by Guardiola in the game and will be abandoned in less than a few years. The Golden Globes will be Mbappe's, and Bellingham.

After talking about the interesting stories in the game, let's talk about the problems of Haaland and Guardiola in reality. You will find that some dilemmas are similar.

Guardiola does have his stubborn side when it comes to using high centers, which is that he doesn't like to use "pure centers".

What is a pure center? It is a player with a single function and only knows how to score goals. The characteristic of this type of center is that it requires support from teammates and then scores and scores.

Apart from scoring, he is not very good at retracement, response, and shifting. Guardiola will be very embarrassed to use such players.

Can use it or you can use it? There will be a sense of awkwardness in the available process and it is not very continuous.

Recalling Guardiola's tactics arrangement, he still prefers players like Messi with flexible and multi-functional attributes. His feet are delicate and capable of cooperating, which will make the team run smoothly.

In other words, Guardiola appreciates the comprehensiveness and plasticity of the players. It doesn’t matter if you have a bad ability, but you need to be flexible and understand flexibility, which will meet your own tactical needs.

Haland's current dilemma is also related to his current playing style being too 'pure'.

In the game, he still has many shortcomings. His back-to-body fulcrum ability is not mature and has not been fully formed; his heading ability has not been fully developed. This season has been better, and he has made some improvements in his headings, but it still needs to be strengthened.

In terms of retracement and tandem ability, Haaland is not as immature as Kane, and he still seems to be relatively immature and does not help the team very clearly.

When encountering a strong team, Haaland will often be invisible. Knowing what he can do on the stadium, it is very inefficient.

ESPN recently published a special topic, summarizing the excellent strikers on the market, Kane and Mbappe did detailed research. In terms of Haaland's flaws, it was clearly stated that he has serious limitations in "passes".

In the Premier League this season, Manchester City's passes were about 2,000 more than all other teams. However, Haaland's average passes was only 12.38, which was the least number of passes among players in the Premier League. At least this season 250 Among the centers, Haaland ranked third from the bottom. What does this data mean?

mean that Haaland runs lazy without the ball and has little response frequency. It does not say that he actively seeks cooperation with his teammates, but waits for his teammates to pass the ball for him. He is seriously instigated.

Aggression is not just physical confrontation, but also includes the willingness to take the ball and cooperate. The mental state of willingness to pay and fight for the team. Haaland also has serious shortcomings.

If he cannot get the ball, he is not motivated enough, which makes the opponent's defense against Haaland It will also be targeted.

Block your pass line, send someone in good health to watch someone, and give you a body, and then you can't do it. If you don't get support from your teammates, you can't score the goal.

In terms of team participation, Haaland will obviously not be enough, which greatly reduces his offensive threat.

I don't know how Guardiola and Haaland communicate on this issue. They performed well before, but have become at a loss for various reasons this year, and the subsequent words need to be adjusted.

When watching the game, I was actually thinking about a question, That is, for Haaland's use, can he reduce his grab points, but can he do more work to open up space.

For example, Marmush has strong long-range shooting ability, can Haaland occasionally pull the side, or retreat to bring the opponent's defense out, creating opportunities for long-range shooting for his teammates?

Also, if you run without the ball and walk towards the ribs, you don't have to stand in the middle, you can swim back and forth to the side, and do more support balls for top and secondary ferry?

In the idea of ​​connecting, Haaland can be no longer the only ending point, it can be a support point, and do more back-and-forth Getting the ball and doing the ball will help the team more.

Give up some of the shots and let Haaland participate in the offense more, which can activate the team.

He performed like this in the match against Bournemouth. He had also had it in the Premier League before, but Haaland could not implement it for a long time.

For Haaland next season, I really hope that he will improve in these aspects, especially after De Bruyne left, the team urgently needed new changes to improve the current offensive problems.

This is also the prerequisite for Manchester City to win the championship again.
