Pep Guardiola claimed there is no pressure on Erling Haaland to score more goals after the Norwegian’s double sank Young Boys on Wednesday pvp
Haaland struck twice in the second half as the holders claimed a hard-fought 3-1 win over the Swiss side in their Champions League Group G encounter on the artificial surface at Bern’s Wankdorf Stadium pvp
The game had been in the balance after Meschack Elia had cancelled out Switzerland international Manuel Akanji’s opener with a superb strike pvp
Haaland’s goals were his first in six Champions League games while his effort against Brighton on Saturday ended a three-game scoreless run – relative barren spells for a player who plundered 52 in total last season pvp
Guardiola said: “There is the impression after last season that he has to score seven goals every single game pvp
That is impossible pvp
“But he is scoring a lot of goals and if people want him to fail because he doesn’t score 50 goals it doesn’t matter pvp
He is always there pvp
“The second goal was really good and he had other chances pvp
The important thing is to create them pvp
“Maybe in the right moment of the season he will be there, pvp better than now, but he has already scored a lot of goals and we are really pleased pvp
“I’ve told him many times I don’t judge him for scoring goals, although I know he wants to score goals pvp
He has the desire to improve and I don’t have doubts about that pvp
”City’s victory, sealed with a Haaland penalty and a clever late finish, was their third in succession and took them a step closer to the knockout stages pvp
They could reach the last-16 for an 11th consecutive season with a follow-up win over the same opposition at the Etihad Stadium in a fortnight pvp
“The result was good and in general it was a really good performance,” said Guardiola, whose side had 26 attempts on goal pvp
“We could have scored more goals but is the important thing is to create the chances pvp
”Guardiola added that Phil Foden did not play because of a “small problem” while Julian Alvarez, who had a goal disallowed after coming off the bench, was not able to play the full game pvp
Young Boys coach Raphael Wicky felt his side gave a good account of themselves pvp
He said: “That courage and passion, we can be proud of what the team delivered, but you need a perfect game against a team like this pvp
We couldn’t do it pvp
“Perfect means taking your chances and not conceding from set-pieces pvp
We’re disappointed with the result, but we can be proud of the team’s performance pvp

First came the crack in Alexander Volkanovski‘s defence pvp
Then, the crack in his voice pvp
If the first crack was consequential, allowing Islam Makhachev to skim his shin off the Australian’s head, the latter was a consequence in itself – a consequence of one of the best fighters alive staying silent on his struggles with mental health pvp
That is, until now pvp
Volkanovski would have emerged from UFC 294 with credit anyway; he stepped in on 11 days’ notice and moved up in weight to challenge a man who had beaten him eight months prior pvp
Even in this surprising, first-round defeat by Makhachev, Volkanovski lost very little pvp
His featherweight title still rests firmly on his shoulder, and he will soon return to that weight class where he has been unbeatable pvp
But soon may be too soon pvp
In his post-fight press conference, Volkanovski began the dissection of this defeat – his second this year, but just his third as a professional mixed martial artist, with his first having occurred a long decade ago pvp
The 35-year-old started to dissect the technical reasons for this knockout loss, but it soon became apparent what was of greater importance: the psychological reasons for his presence in Abu Dhabi pvp
“He’s not somebody you should be taking a short-notice [fight] with, but I needed it,” Volkanovski began pvp
“Obviously a lot of people will say it’s for the money and all that, but it was much more than that pvp
It is hard, it is really hard for athletes pvp
pvp
pvp
Sorry, um pvp
pvp
pvp
I never thought I would struggle with it,” he continued, ignoring the blood over his eye, instead wiping a tear from beneath it pvp
“But for some reason when I wasn’t fighting or in camp pvp
pvp
pvp
F***, sorry,” he said, attempting a laugh, looking away and to the ceiling, then gently rapping his hand on the table to bring himself back into the room pvp

“I needed a fight, and this opportunity came up pvp
I’ll be honest: I wasn’t training as much as I should have, but I thought I had to do it pvp
I had to take it pvp
I’m telling myself, ‘It’s meant to be pvp
’ I was struggling a little bit not fighting, doing my head in pvp
I don’t know how; everything’s fine, I’ve got a beautiful family pvp
But, I don’t know pvp
pvp
pvp
I think you just need to keep busy pvp
I need to be in camp, otherwise, I’m going to do my head in pvp
“It’s weird, [it’s not that I] never ‘believed in that stuff’, but I never got it pvp
It was something that – I don’t know – maybe the more and more I learn about myself, the more I understand pvp
I talked about us having a smile on my face, me and my wife pvp
My wife could see it does get hard, I don’t know why pvp
”Makhachev consoles Volkanovski after their fight, the main event of UFC 294 (AP)Volkanovski pointed to the birth of his third child, in August, and surgery on an injury this summer as reasons why he had not been training pvp
Clearly, the knock-on effect of those moments – as joyous as the former seemed to be – has led Volkanovski’s mental health to suffer pvp
Last week, all the talk was of how brave the Australian was to face Makhachev on short notice; braver was this admission that he is struggling, which simultaneously offers a different lens through which to view his choice to fight pvp
Keeping himself engaged and busy is healthy, but that is complicated by the inherent risk in his profession pvp
“Maybe it was just a silly decision under the circumstances,” he admitted pvp
Perhaps it was, though it was also understandable pvp
Volkanovski’s next challenge, however, will come outside of the ring pvp
It must pvp
He naturally sees the antidote to his current struggles as a quick turnaround to fight again, likely against the dangerous Ilia Topuria in January pvp
Yet, that fight could go the same way as Saturday’s against Makhachev, if the Australian does not first tackle these thoughts and feelings, and find the right balance for him pvp
We knew Alexander Volkanovski was brave pvp
That is even clearer now than it was last week pvp
Now, however, he must be sensible, and get to work outside the ring before he can return to work in it pvp
