Haaland will test Pep Guardiola and his tactical variants

To Pep Guardiola recognise him several tactical resources, like the change of position of Leo Messi to false '9'. With this movement and the collection of back titles trascended like trainer of big way. In the last seasons in the City, Guardiola dispensed also of a classical reference in the forward, that now recovers with the figure of Erling Haaland.

The arrival of the Norwegian is all a challenge in himself same for the Catalan technician that in spite of the good première of the forward in the friendly against the Bayern, the City lost the first title of the season in front of the Liverpool with a staged of Haaland at all alentadora. Haaland Was very fixed up between Matip and Go Dijk, notoriously desconectado of the game of the City.

The reference of Haaland moves away to the defensive line and would have to allow have greater freedom to the midfield players of the City. However, against the Liverpool there were a lot of situations in which anybody showed to the sides of Fabinho, unlike when the celestial team acted with Gabriel Jesús or Foden in this position the past season. Of Bruyne saw very alone in his apparitions to the back of the midfield players of the team of Jurgen Klopp in several occasions.

Positive details

When the Norwegian launched supports in the positional attacks and dragged to the central 'reds', produced interesting actions with the entrance from backwards of other players. Haaland Attained to give some continuity, something that showed that no all was bad by part of the left-handed attacker.

The Norwegian showed to be a continuous threat to the space. Each pressure unfit of the Liverpool derived in advantageous situations for the ones of Guardiola, that did not resolve well by a bad taking of decisions. The party showed that when Of Bruyne was able to receive between lines and turn, the split of Haaland will result imparable for the contrary defences.
