Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says Erling Haaland's 'unbelievable' standards has raised expectations

Transcript

00:00 The standards that Erling has are unbelievable and the people expect all the things.

00:05 But there are games I could say, "Ah, I could be better."

00:08 But I knew during the game and I felt it when I felt it.

00:11 The reason why we were not at our chances is not because of Erling in that game.

00:16 It was not.

00:17 And of course, you have a specific quality, you know, like everybody knows.

00:22 And he's 23, he will improve, he will improve.

00:25 And this is the most important thing.

00:26 But in this world, in my world, in the world of Erling and all the players, we have to

00:30 accept that in a natural way.

00:32 So it doesn't matter if you like it or dislike it.

00:35 It's not the issue.

00:36 You have to accept it.

00:37 And, OK, let's prove it again for yourself.

00:40 Let's make them wrong.

00:42 And that's all.

00:43 It's the only we can do.

00:44 Because we're not going to change.

00:45 You like it or don't like it, it's not going to change.
