Erling Haaland<\/strong><\/p>\n Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp, has described Manchester City\u2019s new striker, Erling Haaland, as a \u201cbeast,\u201d who is \u201cunfortunately a really good signing\u201d for their Premier League title rivals.<\/p>\n City confirmed on Tuesday they triggered Haaland\u2019s \u00a351 million release clause, and the 21-year-old will join the club on July 1, subject to agreeing on personal terms.<\/p>\n After Liverpool beat Aston Villa 2-1 at Villa Park through goals from Joel Matip and Sadio Mane to move level on points with City having played a game more, Klopp was asked how much Haaland will improve Pep Guardiola\u2019s side.<\/p>\n \u201cA lot,\u201d he replied. \u201cGood player, good player. City was never and will never be a team who wins games because of one player. They have a specific way to play.<\/p>\n \u201cErling will realise all of a sudden he will score a lot of goals on the second post where he just puts a foot on it. He will love that. He will have other situations. He\u2019s a real beast. He was injured a couple of times at Dortmund, but when he\u2019s fit, he\u2019s a real beast. Unfortunately, a really good signing,\u201d Klopp stated.<\/p>\n Liverpool came from behind to beat Villa after Douglas Luiz\u2019s third-minute strike, and Klopp insisted they will continue to fight to the end, despite competing on three fronts with Saturday\u2019s FA Cup Final against Chelsea.<\/p>\n \u201cIn my mind, we were six points behind City before the last game, and then we won and they lost, and we were only three points behind,\u201d said Klopp.<\/p>\n \u201cSo with that mindset, I came here today. It means we are still chasing like mad. Honestly, maybe it is because I am a bit dumb, but it works brilliant. The boys are invited to follow that path, so yes; we don\u2019t waste energy really to think \u2018hopefully they lose\u2019. We just know we have to win. That didn\u2019t change at all.<\/p>\n \u201cNow we have to recover, really recover and play the FA Cup final, because obviously there is no mercy nowhere, because this situation we make ourselves by qualifying for all finals, which is absolutely massive,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n \n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Erling Haaland Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp, has described Manchester City\u2019s new striker, Erling Haaland, as a \u201cbeast,\u201d who is \u201cunfortunately a really good signing\u201d for their Premier League title rivals.
