When the opposition has the ball, you need to go on and play in City&#8217;s half, you need to make sure someone is always very tight on Haaland and trying to take him out of the game, especially when you lose the ball &#8212; he can&#8217;t be allowed to get hold of it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You need cover too, otherwise if you try and risk it to play against him one-v-one, with a lot of space in your back, nine out of ten times, it&#8217;s going to be a very difficult situation. So you need to be very aggressive against him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Teams are changing how they setup defensively when he&#8217;s playing because of his threat. People are saying we need to put a midfield player in front of him as well, to give them more time on the ball. But you need to make choices now as an opposition to defend against him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Speaking personally, sometimes when you play higher up the pitch, one needs to be aggressive on him and the other needs to cover you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to live stream Europe's major leagues:<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Bet365* stream Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Serie A games live AND La Liga games for account holders.
