Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola believes the team's positive atmosphere helped Erling Haaland feel at home.
The English giants had a phenomenal season where they won the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup.
Guardiola spoke about the Norway international and his impact since his arrival from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2022 in a €60 million deal.
“Of course, he came here after we had won two Premier Leagues [in a row) but he adapted really well coming here," Guardiola said, as quoted by Tribal Football.
“I think we have incredible group of players here, great characters who embrace the new ones who are coming.
“Erling felt that straight away. Immediately he arrived he was part of this [group].
“And after that it is play, don't worry we have time. You didn't come for a few days it's for three, four years because of the contract he signed.
“We don't put pressure on him and say you have to score goals for us.
“He is so strong mentally after one goal, he wants a second one and then a third.
“You see his numbers at his age - in the Champions League even Messi does not have these numbers art his age. It's unbelievable.
“He has scored goals everywhere all the time. He has a special mentality and attributes and skills.
“We are delighted to have him. And we are delighted he is back after two months out."
Haaland has 21 goals and six assists in 25 games across all competitions thus far this season.
