At 22:00 on August 24, in the second round of the Premier League, Haaland scored a hat-trick, and Manchester City came from behind to defeat Ipswich Town 4-1 at home. After the match, Manchester City’s head coach, Guardiola, gave an interview to the media.
In an interview with BBC Sport, Guardiola said, “It was a good game, we had a great start. The opponents scored a good goal on the counterattack, but overall we performed very well. I am very satisfied with the way the team has started the season.”
About Haaland’s hat-trick: “He is very reliable on penalties, assisted the second goal, and the third goal was also excellent. He faced many difficulties last season, especially at the beginning of the season. He often felt tired and had some minor injuries. This time, without participating in the European Cup, he arrived at the team in good shape. His statistics are incredible.”
About Gundogan’s return: “I didn’t plan to let him play originally. They (the opponents) were very threatening on the counterattack. Gundogan read the game very accurately. Everyone gave him an incredible welcome. I am very happy because I know he is very satisfied with his return.”
About whether Savigno integrated into the team faster than expected: “Yes. Not only in terms of playing time, but his performance was also outstanding. There was a slight drop in the second half, but his contributions on both offense and defense were very good.”
