continued his extraordinary start to the season by scoring a hat-trick in Manchester City 's 3-1 win against West Ham.
That feels like a ridiculous thing to say of a striker who scored 27 goals to win the Premier League Golden Boot, but in 2023-24 Haaland was certainly less ruthless in front of goal and had several games in which he didn't really get involved.City manager Pep Guardiola was reluctant to speak about Haaland's 'struggles' during the season, but earlier this summer he revealed that the Norwegian star wasn't in the best condition last term.
"We need him. This is not negotiable. If you don’t score a goal, it’s fine, but you need to do it . "Especially when we link up with him, he has to control the ball better but we are working with him on it. Hopefully he can do it." "He stays 20 minutes or half an hour after training sessions to work on finishing, close control, short passes," Guardiola revealed after the match, as reported by"Last season, not even once was he there , because he didn’t feel good; tired, niggles, most of the season."
