After Erling Haaland missed a chance to score earlier this season, Manchester City forward Jack Grealish has shared what he told his teammate. Haaland has had a fantastic start to his first campaign in England. He has already outscored seven of the 20 teams in the Premier League with 18 goals. However, he has also missed a few chances, just like any striker.
Grealish, who hasn’t had an assist yet this season, talked about one of those missed chances earlier this week. The Englishman was quoted by The Daily Star UK as saying, “During a promotional video for Amazon, where he worked as a delivery man for one day, the Englishman said:
“He missed when I passed him one. Erling, I stated that I require these aids.
During a conversation about his day at work for Amazon, the former captain of Aston Villa made yet another reference to his Manchester City teammate:
“Like Haaland’s season-opening performance, mate. My shift has been like that today.”
Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland were back in action for Manchester City in their team’s EFL Cup victory over Liverpool:
Manchester City resumed play on December 22 after a midseason break to prepare for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. In an entertaining football match at the Etihad Stadium, the Citizens defeated Liverpool 3-2 to win the EFL Cup.
Erling Haaland, who didn’t go to the World Cup because Norway didn’t qualify, scored in the 10th minute with an assist from Kevin De Bruyne. After that, Fabio Carvalho brought the Reds level, but in the 47th minute, Riyad Mahrez gave City the lead back.
Mohamed Salah scored one moment later to welcome Liverpool back based on level conditions before Nathan Ake got the possible champ in the 58th moment. In the end, Haaland, who started the game, scored, made one big chance and missed one big chance. In his 73 minutes on the field, he also won two duels.
Phil Foden took the place of the Norwegian, and Jack Grealish, who was in England’s World Cup team, came into the game as part of a double substitution. Grealish took Cole Palmer’s place. He completed five passes, made an interception, and won a foul during his brief time on the field. Now, Manchester City is looking forward to their Premier League match against Leeds United on December 28.
