From the process of the game, it can be seen that Haaland's anger is not without a reason. The referee did indeed have a problem with inconsistent judgment standards, especially the issue of Glalish's single shot, which is an important manifestation of the referee's judgment standards. This offensive opportunity mainly involves two issues. On the one hand, Haaland was fouled and fell to the ground by the opponent. The referee did not whistle due to the principle of favorable attack. However, after Glalish formed a chance for a single shot, he called the game off, wasting an opportunity to even score. This is the key to Haaland's dissatisfaction.
Regarding the issue of this penalty, Guardiola also responded after the game. Although he also showed an angry attitude, he ultimately reluctantly accepted the result of this penalty. However, Haaland's issue still needs to be resolved. According to the Premier League's regulations for players, Haaland does not even rule out the possibility of being suspended in his comments on social media. However, the final decision still depends on the Premier League's official recognition of the matter, and ultimately it can be determined whether to end the matter with a fine or suspension.
As the top scorer of Manchester City, and even the current top star of the team, the importance of Haaland to Manchester City is self-evident. Moreover, in past games, Haaland's emotional control has been relatively good, at least without any particularly out of control situations. The reason for the appearance of this game is indeed due to the fact that there are many flaws in the referee's judgment, and Tottenham Hotspur has also become a competitor to Manchester City this season. The intensity of this game and the pressure on Manchester City are still relatively high, and the outcome of the game is naturally related to Manchester City's performance this season.
Of course, given the severity of Haaland's current situation, even if the Premier League's punishment for Haaland is implemented in the future, there will not be too serious a problem. Manchester City's next few opponents are not particularly strong, except for Villa, most of whom are teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. Moreover, there will also be other players in Manchester City's lineup who can temporarily replace Haaland's position, such as Alvarez who can temporarily return to the center forward position. The most crucial thing is that even if Harland is punished, it will not be too serious.
