With some questioning whether Erling Haaland can properly adapt to Man City’s possession-based playing style, Pep Guardiola said: “I hear he’s not going to adapt to the way we play and I would like to ask 'how is the way we play?'
“I’m pretty sure those who ask don’t know it. I’m pretty sure he will adapt well – like Julian Alvarez this summer coming from Argentina and we’re going to help him to adapt well.
“Always that happens. Players when they are good - and normally they are in clubs like City - they have good energy to see positives. They understand we want to help them and our way to play is so simple really.
“I’m pretty sure about Haaland. But to give you a real opinion I have to work with him first. When he scores this amount of goals it's because he’s good.”
Haaland is set to join City once the summer transfer window starts on July 1 and is expected to be ready for pre-season training. He’ll be joining from Borussia Dortmund, for whom he made scored 86 goals in 89 appearances.
