City
signed
Haaland
from
Germany’s
Borussia
Dortmund,
while
he
previously
played
in
Austria
for
Salzburg
and
his
native
Norway
for
Molde.
Although
his
link-up
play
has
occasionally
been
criticised,
Haaland’s
goalscoring
talent
has
endured
across
every
league.
He
has
27
goals
already
in
the
Premier
League,
closing
on
the
single-season
record
of
34,
but
Guardiola
expects
it
would
be
a
similar
story
in
any
division.
Asked
if
Haaland
was
particularly
well
suited
to
playing
in
England,
Guardiola
replied:
“And
I
would
say
in
Germany,
in
Spain,
in
Italy,
in
Norway,
in
Congo,
everywhere.
“These
types
of
players
adapt
everywhere;
in
Africa,
South
America,
no
problem.”
Haaland’s
goals
tally
might
have
been
even
more
impressive
had
Kevin
De
Bruyne
performed
on
a
slightly
more
consistent
basis
this
season.
Guardiola
is
sticking
by
the
midfielder,
however,
acknowledging
his
team
since
arriving
at
City
has
been
“Kevin
and
10
more”.

“If
Kevin
is
fit,
he
is
ready,”
the
manager
said,
also
confirming
Kyle
Walker
would
be
available
to
face
Crystal
Palace
following
an
incident
at
a
club
that
was
captured
on
CCTV.
The
England
defender
appeared
to
pull
his
trousers
down,
with
Cheshire
Police
looking
into
the
matter.
City
will
hope
to
beat
Palace
on
Saturday
and
again
apply
pressure
to
league
leaders
Arsenal,
who
responded
last
week
by
dramatically
beating
Bournemouth.
That
result
was
huge
for
Arsenal,
but
Guardiola
insisted
it
had
no
adverse
impact
on
City.
“Of
course
we
take
a
look.
We
have
to
do
our
job
and
take
a
look,”
Guardiola
said.
“You
see
it’s
0-2
and
after
2-2
and
after
it’s
six
minutes
extra
time,
they
score
after.
“So,
it’s
a
pity.
It
would
be
better
with
a
draw.
“We
have
to
admit
we
are
used
to
this
for
Liverpool.
How
many
times
in
the
last
few
seasons
they
scored
in
the
last
minutes
at
Anfield?
How
many?
“It
was
one
of
the
biggest
talents
for
Liverpool
to
scored
in
the
last
minute.
I’ve
lived
it
in
the
last
three,
four
years,
when
we
fought
against
them
and
battled
many,
many
times.”
