October 19th: In the 8th round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Everton 2-0 at home. Haaland scored with a head kick and a kick. Foden was interviewed after the game.

Talk about this victory

"This game was difficult, especially the team's performance in the first half was not ideal. Although we pushed forward as quickly as possible, we were too slow when possession of the ball and could not find the space between the opponent's defense lines.

"At halftime, the head coach made adjustments to this, and I think the team's offensive performance was more effective in the second half. We created a lot of chances and overall we can be satisfied with this performance. "

Talking about Haaland

"We all know that he has the ability to move exquisitely, and he can always appear in the right position. Even if opponents mark Haaland tightly, he is still capable of scoring. He never loses focus and only needs one chance to score.

"Haaland didn't get much space today, but he always remained patient and could always step up for the team at critical moments. This is the sign of a world-class forward."

Talk about his performance

"I think my cooperation with Haaland is gradually improving. Today I gave him Made a couple of good passes behind the ball that could have turned into goals. Unfortunately every time I passed the ball to him, he didn't seem to take advantage of it.

"But we're really building that chemistry and I'm trying to find those spaces where he can score and get the ball into places where he can set up a shot." This is what we have been working towards. "
