In the match between Manchester City and Everton, a result that fans expected occurred. Facing an opponent who was clearly not as strong as themselves, Manchester City did not show a particularly good form. In the end, the entire game ended in a 1-1 draw against their opponents.
This game also surprised many fans because Manchester City had the opportunity to win the game. Haaland had a chance to take a penalty kick in the 52nd minute of the game. However, during the penalty kick, Haaland's hesitation led to the ball being saved by the opposing goalkeeper. Although Haaland subsequently scored through a follow-up shot, the goal was not counted as he was already in an offside position.
Through this game, everyone can see the so-called "world's number one player" more clearly. When facing tough matches or when the team is in a critical situation, it is difficult for him to stand out. He can only continue to perform poorly following the rhythm of the team. In the recent four games, Haaland has contributed zero goals and zero assists, which is clearly unsatisfactory for the fans. There are even rumors now that Haaland wants to openly act to get rid of Pep Guardiola, so he has started to slack off.
However, Haaland's abilities do need to be viewed objectively. He can score goals crazily, largely relying on Manchester City's excellent tactical system. But when players like De Bruyne experience a decline in form and age, it is obviously impossible for Haaland to lead the team alone. As a successor to Messi and Ronaldo, Haaland's abilities have not yet reached the level where he can change the course of a game on his own.
