  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    The Premier League champions return to action after the international break with the aim of ending a run of four straight defeats. This is the first time in Guardiola's managerial career that he has lost four games on the bounce, but Haaland is confident the Spaniard will turn things around.

  • WHAT HAALAND SAID

    He told Sky Sports: "When you look at what he's been doing for the club, he's not bad, is he? So he's got my full trust. And if he tells me something, I'd better do it because he knows the best in the end. Everyone knows that. So I'm sure he will find solutions now as well. I'm sure of that.

    "He's been calm. We just need to continue. We just need to do our best because in the end you can't do more than your best. So he demands a lot. He demands us to be at our best in every training, in every game. And that's what we need to do. It hasn't been good enough losing four games now but let's try to win the next. Let's focus on the training today, the training tomorrow and then the game."

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Haaland also spoke about the freedom that Guardiola gives him at Manchester City as he aims to add to his tally of 12 Premier League goals already this season. He added: "Yeah, he gives me freedom there. But again there are loads of things he wants me to do. And in the end it's a team sport. So I just want to do what's best for the team and to make the team win. Because in the end if we don't win games, nothing matters."
