Erling Haaland revealed Pep Guardiola's 'will smash you' warning before he joined Manchester City.
. Since then he has broken several records and ended up scoring 52 goals in the previous season across all competitions in the process ofBehind his phenomenal success, Guardiola plays a significant role as his manager expects him to give his best in every training session and even threatened in jest that he will "smash" the player if he is not focused."When I spoke with him before I signed here he said ‘I don’t care what you do, do whatever you want.
That’s really how he is and City are as a team and as a club. It’s why they have been so successful," Haaland stated. "The pressure is there. Look at the pressure we have every single day as a club, as a team, as individuals. But you must focus the one hour we have in training every day and the rest of the day relax, don’t think of football, don’t think of anything.
"I think that’s a big part of why it’s so successful here with all the staff. After training – don’t think of football anymore. You think and you develop on the pitch. When you are on the pitch – you focus. That is what Pep demands," he added.After a shock defeat to Wolves in their last Premier League outing, City are set to take on Mikel Arteta's Arsenal in a blockbuster clash on Sunday at the Emirates Stadium.
