Manwan: Manchester City youth training hopes to develop the next Haaland, which is the focus of their current work

May 10th According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester City's youth training program will train the next Haaland.

At present, Manchester City is facing an unprecedented situation, and their behavior of signing a nine-and-a-half-year contract with Haaland shocked everyone, including coach Guardiola. "It's crazy, but I like this crazy." Manchester City broke the rules and made history. However, they must now address the question of how to manage the offensive line well over the next decade, as any newly introduced player must accept the fact that it is second choice.

Malmush has accepted the role, but time will tell whether he will seek a transfer like Alvarez to become the first striker of other teams. It will be a tricky task for the incoming sports director Hugo Viana, although it is a happy trouble. Viana is currently operating at Manchester City Learning Club and is aware of the academy. This week, Viana watched the U18 team's regrettable defeat in the FA Youth Cup final, ending their 27-game winning streak.

However, he also saw a wonderful goal scored by youth training forward Marty Wohurst within two minutes of the game. Wohurst scored many key goals in the Youth Cup, the U18 Premier League and the UEFA Youth League, and he often appears in the right position in the game, and his performance proves that he is a major scorer in the youth training camp.

In response to this, Wohurst said: "I might have admired Ronaldo more when I was a kid, but now I pay more attention to excellent strikers like Haaland. Their performance and sense of position have helped me a lot. This year I did a lot of analysis on running in the penalty area and tried to apply it to my game." Haaland became a role model and source of motivation for the youth training camp, rather than a barrier to the entry of young players into the first team. Another young forward, Devin Mubama, has performed well in the U21 team, scoring goals in every game, including key goals against Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United.

Speaking about this, Mubama said: "As a striker, you don't always have to touch the ball, but when the opportunity comes, you have to be ready to catch it." Mubama joined Manchester City from West Ham this season, scoring his first appearance for the first team in the third round of the FA Cup.

When talking about his goals, he said: "In football, there are not many opportunities, and I have seized one opportunity. It helps me grow into a better player and prepare for the next step."

U21 coach Ben Wilkinson was impressed by Mubama's performance. When talking about Mubama, he said: "He doesn't need too many opportunities to score goals. As long as we give him the right pass, he can score. He is a top finisher, not by luck, but the result of his hard training every day."

Manchester City are developing a new generation of "Haland"-style strikers. They don't necessarily play for 90 minutes in every game, but they are always able to stay alert when opportunities come. Manchester City used to develop small, flexible strikers like Aguero, but now they are working to develop tall, strong forwards who have become top talents in their respective age groups.
