Guardiola slams Erling Haaland's critics: 'People want him to fail but he will score goals all his life'

Haaland scored a brace to help Man City defeat Young Boys 3-1 in their Champions League group stage game on Wednesday night.

This result ensured that the Manchester side maintained their 100 percent win record in the Champions League and remained on top of Group G.

Speaking after the match, the Manchester City manager spoke passionately about Haaland (via Manchester Evening News): 

"People expect he has to score four goals. People want him to fail. I'm sorry, he will score goals all his life." 

Last season, Haaland scored a stunning 52 goals across all competitions and the City boss spoke on the pressures surrounding such high debut-season numbers. 

"Erling has the pressure after last season but he has to score seven goals every single game and it is impossible. 

"He is happy and he will score a lot of goals, people want him to fail because he doesn't score 50 goals. We know it but it doesn't matter."
