Guardiola: Haaland really needs the pass from his teammates; Foden was very good at breaking secret defense last season

On May 12, Manchester City drew 0-0 away from Southampton in the 36th round of the Premier League. Manchester City shot as many as 26 times but failed to knock on the Saints goal. In an interview, Guardiola talked about Haaland, Foden and the final schedule.

Talking about Haaland

"If you take this game as an example, the forward needs support from teammates, and some other games may not be needed. Haaland does need someone to pass the ball to him, whether it is a winger, defender or attacking midfielder, teammates from any position can pass the ball to him."

Foden's performance this season is significantly different from last season

"It's not easy for him. In the past few seasons, if it is such a game, Foden has often relied on his talent and intuition to contribute shots or assists near the penalty area. In the first half of this game, Foden left Harland De is a little far away. If you want to score, you have to be in the right position. Foden's performance in the second half was more active, and De Bruyne used his talent to pass some good goals. We created opportunities, but we were unlucky to fail to score. "

There are two rounds of Premier League games before the end of the season, and next Saturday's FA Cup final (vs Crystal Palace)

"I haven't considered the FA Cup yet, and I'm still prioritizing the Premier League. We will recover for a day or two before preparing for that final. We will first observe the team's condition and then make a decision within this week."
