Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola raised Elling Holan to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's 'New World'
Manchester City striker Holan led his team to a 3-1 victory against Bournemouth in the 10th round of the English Premier League (EPL) on the 3rd (Korea time) with multiple goals in the 17th and 33rd minutes of the first half. The terrifying scoring instinct exploded once again.
Holan's scoring move this season is simply unstoppable. He has 13 goals in 10 league games and 17 goals in 13 games in all competitions.
The 25-year-old Holan showed off his appearance as a scoring machine again on the day. He added two more goals to lead the Premier League in scoring, widening the gap with second-place players to as many as seven goals.
His influence on the international stage is also absolute. He has scored nine goals in three matches for the Norwegian national team, continuing his scoring streak on the A-match stage.
In an interview with BBC Sport shortly after the match against Bournemouth, Pep Guardiola praised Holan. "This is how it feels to play with Messi or Ronaldo. His influence is enormous. Did you see Holan's scoring record? Of course, he is at that level," he said, raising Holan to Messi and Ronaldo's `New World.' Of course, Messi and Ronaldo have maintained that level for 15 years, but Holan is showing a performance comparable to that. The way you kick the ball in the first goal scene is like 'I'll score.'appear to say '," he stressed.
"Holan is a player with a yearning for a goal. It's the best. He is an incredibly easy player to coach and manage. Sometimes he is strict with Holan, but he is always open-minded. I'm a player who lives for a goal, so I sometimes feel pressure for the entire 90 minutes, but that's a natural part."
Guardiola said it would have been difficult without Holan. Fortunately, Omar Marmusi is back, and the players are back healthy, so it's a good situation. Above all, we are blessed. Holan is such a kind and warm person, and will grow further in the future. His record as a player is simply phenomenal."
Holan, who remained silent against Aston Villa, expressed his satisfaction by restarting the scoring against Bournemouth. In an interview with Sky Sports, he said "It was an important victory. I'm happy to bounce back after a bad game on the road and a loss. I feel good because I can do my part and the team can win.There are now two important matches left. You have to keep your focus." "I didn't score in the last game, but my goal is always to help my team win. Whether it's scoring or winning a one-on-one match, that's my role," he said, emphasizing his role as a team player to win the team.
With this victory, Manchester City moved to second place in the league (19 points, 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses), narrowing the gap between the leading Arsenal (25 points, 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss) to six points. Manchester City will face third-place Liverpool (18 points, 6 wins, 4 losses) at 1:30 a.m. on the 10th at the Etihad Stadium.
