"Last season was great but it's in the past. This season is a completely new thing so I don't set a target of scoring a lot of goals. It's unbelievable that I think I will score the same number as last season," Erling Haaland shared before the big match between Man City and Liverpool in round 28 of the Premier League at Anfield at 10:45 p.m. tonight (March 9).

With Arsenal just winning against Brentford to temporarily take the lead in the rankings, the pressure to win for Man City and Liverpool is even greater because if either team loses, the race for the title this season will be even more difficult with only 10 rounds left.
At this time, Arsenal has 64 points after 28 rounds, while Liverpool has 1 point less and Man City has 2 points less but has played one less match. Therefore, the big match at Anfield between the two teams becomes more attractive and interesting.
"We are still participating in three competitions and the Premier League is a very difficult competition, with many strong teams competing for the top spot for many months. The match against Liverpool is really important. We have to try very hard in matches like this," Erling Haaland said.
Compared to last season when he scored 52 goals in all competitions, Erling Haaland is showing signs of slowing down in terms of goals this season, having only scored 32 goals, including 22 in the Premier League.
"I would go crazy thinking about scoring 52 goals like last season. I have to take it one game at a time and help the team win. That's my main goal," Erling Haaland added.
The good news is that the Norwegian striker is regaining good form at the moment, having scored 7 goals in the last 3 matches. In particular, midfielder Kevin De Bruyne's return from injury has greatly supported Haaland in "opening fire" into the opponents' net.
Erling Haaland admitted: "He's a great footballer and everything is fine with him. I love playing with Kevin. Sadly, injuries are a big part of football and you have to do your best when people are absent. They have to come back stronger."
