Kolo Toure: Defenders Lose Sleep Over Haaland

Kolo Touré, who works as an assistant to Pep Guardiola in Manchester City's coaching staff, shared his thoughts on striker Erling Haaland. Journalists asked the former renowned defender how he would have tried to stop the prolific Norwegian forward if they had faced each other on the pitch.

“I cannot say for certain. I do remember that feeling well: it was always hard to sleep the night before playing against a top-level striker.

Before every game, I tell Erling this: ‘Many defenders lose sleep thinking about you,’” City Report quoted Touré as saying. Today, the "Cityzens" will face Crystal Palace away.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 17:00 Moscow time. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
