Man City boss Guardiola: Haaland humility helps his game

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has highlighted Erling Haaland's humility.

Guardiola says Haaland's character helped him settle quickly at the beginning of last season.

“So quick," said Guardiola.

“That is what impressed me most since the first pre-season. It was so quick.

“The guys embrace really quick the new ones but the new ones have to do the step.

“He was always smiling and it impressed me the most off the pitch, his character. Lovely character.

“I met some of the biggest, biggest stars and I see how humble they are. I don't know why, the biggest ones understand better. That's why maybe they are the biggest stars, for that reason."
