Guardiola acknowledges that many teams would want Haaland on their roster, but emphasizes that Haaland has a long-term commitment to Manchester City. "I understand it's a dream for every club in the world to have Haaland," he said. "Even if he wasn't with City, it would be a dream to have him."
Haaland has been scoring goals at a high rate and is getting support from his teammates, which Guardiola sees as a key factor in the team's success. "When he plays well, we have more chances," he explained. "We want to concede fewer goals and create more scoring opportunities."
Guardiola also discussed the unpredictability of football, saying that even with more shots on goal, the team can still lose. "Football is the only sport where you can dominate possession and still lose," he noted. "Other sports like basketball, golf, and tennis are more straightforward."
Regarding Haaland's 10-year contract, Guardiola expressed confidence in the forward's commitment, saying, "I don't think Erling would sign a contract he didn't want to fulfill."
