Haaland in Peak Condition Ahead of Premier League Clash with Liverpool

Erling Haaland has expressed that he is currently in the best shape of his career, following a remarkable start to the season.

The prolific striker for Manchester City and the Norwegian national team has scored an impressive 27 goals in just 17 appearances this season. Haaland’s performance metrics are nothing short of extraordinary, even by his own high standards, having netted 142 goals in 160 matches for City since his arrival in 2022.

Reflecting on his form, Haaland stated, “It’s been a good start and I feel really good. I believe this is the best version of myself. I’ve never felt better than now.” He emphasized the importance of maintaining mental sharpness and physical well-being, adding, “To stay sharp, I need to keep my mind focused, recover adequately, seek appropriate treatment, and maintain a healthy diet. It’s about staying in the zone and striking a balance. I must sustain my energy levels, remain motivated, and engage in activities that benefit both my body and mind.”

Haaland aims to further increase his goal tally as Manchester City prepares to face the reigning champions, Liverpool, in the Premier League this Sunday. This match marks the 1,000th game in the illustrious career of manager Pep Guardiola, and Haaland acknowledges the significant impact Guardiola has had on his development.

“Since joining City, he has been instrumental in refining my movements and positioning to optimize scoring opportunities. Pep Guardiola is a genius, and my journey here has been fruitful,” he remarked. “His remarkable success is a testament to his dedication and hard work.”

This upcoming match holds significant importance for both teams as they strive to maintain pressure on Premier League leaders Arsenal. “We need to be prepared, as it won’t be an easy contest,” said Haaland, who is just two goals shy of reaching a century in the Premier League. “The rivalry between Manchester City and Liverpool has been thrilling in recent years, pushing each other to improve and compete for the title. It will be a challenging match, and we must perform at our best.”
