300!
Bei Manchester Citys 5:2 bei der Klub-WM gegen Juventus Turin traf Erling Haaland (24) zum zwischenzeitlichen 3:1 (52.). Für den Stürmer war es bereits das 300. Tor im erst 370. Spiel in seiner Karriere. Zum Vergleich: Cristiano Ronaldo brauchte für diese Anzahl an Treffern 554 Spiele, Lionel Messi 418 Spiele und Kylian Mbappé 409. Sein Trainer Pep Guardiola (54) dazu: „Ich kann nur gratulieren. Er hat mit 24 Jahren 300 Tore geschossen. Ich bewundere ihn sehr und freue mich riesig für Erling.“
Was macht er denn da?!: Juve-Star schießt GAGA-Eigentor
Neben der Gratulation hat Guardiola aber auch eine Forderung an seinen Star-Stürmer. Pep: „Ich verlange von Erling nur, dass er die erste Aktion macht und danach keine Intensität mehr zeigt. Er muss eine Maschine sein und wir müssen ihn unterstützen. Manchmal geht er und wir gehen nicht, aber heute haben wir es geschafft.“
Den Maschinen-Vergleich stellte Ex-Kollege Marco Reus bereits 2021 an. Damals spielten sie noch gemeinsam für Borussia Dortmund, nach einem 4:0 im Derby gegen Schalke erklärte Reus damals: „Er ist eine Maschine. Er ist sehr torhungrig, das sieht man in jedem Spiel.“ Auch mehr als vier Jahre später hat sich daran nichts geändert.
[–>Eine Neuerung dagegen hat Guardiola in seinem Team festgestellt. Der ManCity-Coach: „Es ist lange her, dass wir mit und ohne Ball eine solche Leistung gezeigt haben. Die Spieler waren engagiert und wir sind glücklich, eine Spitzenmannschaft geschlagen zu haben.“
Und: „Das ist nur ein Spiel, aber ich denke, die Spieler haben wieder gespürt, was es heißt, eine gute Mannschaft zu sein.“
Erling Haaland (24)

2023 gewann Pep mit dem England-Klub die Klub-WM (damals noch in einem anderen Format). In der abgelaufenen Saison aber wurden sie in der Premier League nur Dritter, in den Playoffs der Champions League flogen sie gegen Real Madrid nach der Ligaphase raus, das FA-Cup-Finale verloren sie (0:1 gegen Crystal Palace).

USA Face Battle-Tested Ecuador With 2026 World Cup Roster Spots on the Line
AUSTIN, Texas — Whatever happens in Friday night’s difficult World Cup preparation game against Ecuador, U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino is certain of one thing."I promise you, no one is sure that he is going to be on the roster of the World Cup 2026," Pochettino said Thursday during his pre-match press conference. "I don't believe before that was the [case]. Today, I promise that all the guys feel they need to fight to be there. And that is priceless."Friday’s contest at Q2 Stadium comes almost exactly a year to the day of the former Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham Hotspur manager made his debut on the U.S. sideline. That 2-0 friendly victory over Panama last October somehow seems a lot longer ago than that. Much has changed around the program over the last 12 months, to Pochettino’s point.In short, he […]
