Several players are in the running to become Manchester City’s next captain, however, Haaland has fallen behind due to a peculiar reason. The reason is quite humorous: the Norwegian striker scores so many goals that making him captain would waste crucial time in celebrations. Whenever the team scored, the captain was required to skip goal celebrations and come to the dugout to receive tactical instructions from the manager. When we scored, the captain didn’t celebrate; he came to the bench to get instructions,” Maresca told reporters when discussing the captaincy selection. He believes even two or three minutes following a goal are crucial to making tactical tweaks or issuing fresh guidance.
