Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has responded to Erling Haaland's comments regarding the team's struggle with motivation this season. Haaland, currently recovering from an injury, stated that City hasn't displayed full hunger and has underperformed. Guardiola urged players to engage with each other on this concern. The team, which recently missed key victories, hopes to regain form as Haaland prepares to return against Southampton. Additionally, Guardiola praised Xabi Alonso following his announcement to leave Bayer Leverkusen, highlighting his impact in football management.
"If that's Erling's feeling, the players should talk to each other and ask themselves why," said Guardiola, expressing concern over the team's reported lack of hunger this season.
"We haven't had fully the hunger inside of us," said Haaland, indicating self-awareness within the team about their underperforming season.
