Sergio Aguero talks about Erling Haaland joining Manchester City

BUENOS AIRES – Former Manchester City star Sergio Aguero gave a warning to Erling Haaland. Having just joined Man City, Haaland was reminded by Aguero to strengthen his mentality while playing there. As is known, Haaland has now officially joined Man City. His slick performance while defending Borussia Dortmund made Man City not hesitate to spend 51 million pounds to bring him. Haaland did steal the show during his career in the German League. In total, he scored 86 goals from 86 appearances in all competitions.

However, according to Aguero, Haaland's early form in the Man City shirt will not be that luxurious. The Argentine said the adaptation process at Man City was not easy, especially since the coach, Josep Guardiola, has high standards. "Haaland will need time in English football, and Pep's demands, as I did, logically, he will have a period of adaptation to a league as strong as the Premier League," Aguero said, quoted by Goal International, Wednesday (20/7/2022).

However, Aguero believes Haaland will soon shine once the adaptation period has passed. The former Barcelona player did not doubt the quality of Haaland at all. "Haaland is a very important transfer, I think his goalscoring ability is evident, his statistics in the Bundesliga and in Europe confirm this," he said.

"I think an elite player like him will know how to adapt his style to Pep's style, it may take time, as I said at the beginning, but once he is ready, everything seems simple," he said.

"I think he has the talent for what is asked of him, which is scoring goals."

Jack Grealish has experienced a tough adaptation process at Man City before. In fact, players from England were brought in from fellow English club, Aston Villa.

In addition, Rodri also had a difficult time at the beginning of his arrival to the Etihad Stadium. Aguero believes that the high standards set by Guardiola have made the players need time to find their best performance.
