My inability to score goals this days is actually because of Him,I can’t hide it anymore”, Erling Haaland reveals the ONE City player that is behind His sudden drop in form

In a candid press conference, Manchester City striker Erling Haaland opened up about his recent struggles to find the back of the net.

The Norwegian goal machine, who shattered records last season, has seen a noticeable dip in his scoring form this term. Haaland attributed this change to the absence of a crucial teammate — midfield maestro Kevin De Bruyne.

“My inability to score goals these days is actually because of him,” Haaland admitted. “I can’t hide it anymore. Kevin [De Bruyne] has been a huge part of my success since I arrived at Manchester City. His vision, creativity, and precision in delivering those perfect passes are unmatched. Without him on the pitch, things have become a bit more challenging for me.”

De Bruyne, one of the Premier League’s all-time assist kings, has been sidelined for several months following a significant injury early in the season. The Belgian playmaker was instrumental in Haaland’s phenomenal debut season in England, during which the striker netted 52 goals across all competitions. Their chemistry was often described as telepathic, with De Bruyne effortlessly setting up Haaland in scoring positions time and time again.

Haaland continued, “Of course, we have an incredible team, and others have stepped up brilliantly, but Kevin has a special ability to make the game easier for a striker. It’s not just about the assists; it’s about the timing, the weight of the pass, and understanding where I’ll be at the right moment. That connection is hard to replicate.”

Despite the challenges, Haaland expressed confidence in adapting to the situation and praised his teammates for their efforts. “Every team faces obstacles, and this is just one for us. I’m working hard every day to find different ways to contribute, and the team is doing its best to adjust. We’ll come through this together.”

Haaland’s comments underline the importance of De Bruyne’s role in Manchester City’s attacking system. Fans eagerly await the midfielder’s return, hoping it will reignite the prolific partnership that dominated headlines last season. Until then, the City squad must find ways to maintain their momentum and keep their title ambitions alive.
