Pep Guardiola Responds To Viral Petition To Have Erling Haaland Banned From Playing In EPL
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has responded to a petition to ban Erling Haaland from the English Premier League.
Following Haaland’s emphatic start to the 2022/23 campaign, fans felt that they had enough of the former Borussia Dortmund striker, who is now scoring for fun, breaking a series of long-standing records in the league.
“It’s just simply not fair. We can make a change. Now is the time for us people to act. This robot should not be allowed to carry on in our country,” reads the petition.
After being asked for his opinion on the petition to have Haaland banned from football, Pep Guardiola laughed it off, saying it was a ‘good’ joke.
