MANCHESTER (VG) West Ham boss David Moyes admits that he doesn’t have all the answers in the world on how to stop Erling Braut Haaland (22).
Thus, good advice is expensive before his “Hammers” travel to Manchester before the league match at 21:00 on Wednesday evening.
– That is a good question. I don’t think anyone has the answer, says Moyes when asked how to stop the flood.
On Sunday, Haaland reached another milestone in his comet-like Premier League career.
He then also touched the record for the number of goals in a PL season (34) and became the first player in the English top division to reach 50 goals in all competitions since 1931.
– He is the icing on the cake for them. They have so many good players who can create chances and he is a really good finisher. They have a formidable team and that is crowned by Haaland, Moyes believes.
At the top of the list is Dixie Dean’s 63 (!) goals in all competitions, which Pep is now being asked if is within reach.
– Of course it’s good for him and the team that he’s breaking records, it’s a good sign. Either he or someone else is going to break these records, and I’m sure he’s going to score more goals, says City manager Pep Guardiola in Manchester.
West Ham have gained a small gap down to the worst relegation quagmire, but all points are still welcome. Manchester City, on the other hand, need the points to keep their grip on the Premier League title.
The Spanish star coach is then asked if he finds pride in being the coach of the record monster Haaland.
– It is a surprise for all of us, but perhaps not for him. It is a difficult league to do this in, says Guardiola.
Kevin De Bruyne is uncertain for the match, while defensive rock Nathan Aké is back in training.
Match start 21.00 Wednesday on VSport Premier League and Viaplay.
