Guardiola's low blow to Haaland that surprised everyone in the Community Shield

Erling Haaland is considered Manchester City's best player, last season he scored 52 goals, was the Premier League and Champions League scoring champion, was also the winner of the Golden Boot and is the favorite to win the Ballon d'Or.

Haaland was important for Manchester City to win the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup in the previous season. Pep Guardiola was impressed with the Norwegian striker's performance in his first year at England. 

Erling only in this preseason scored two goals and these were in the game against Yokohama Mariners, against Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid could not score. Haaland will have to show in this new season that he is still the best striker in the world.

Haaland started in the Community Shield final against Arsenal. This is the first championship that has been fought this season. Manchester City aims to be champion in all the tournaments in which it will participate. In this match Guardiola made a controversial decision.

Pep Guardiola's controversial decision

The coach, seeing Haaland's poor performance against Arsenal, decided to take the striker out of the game, this change surprised everyone but it worked for Guardiola because Cole Palmer replaced the Norwegian and scored a goal in this final.
