Guardiola clarifies that Haaland's two-month absence due to injury shouldn't be interpreted as dissatisfaction with the club. "He could not play for two months because he was injured, but maybe the media from Spain, and especially Madrid, have more information than us," Guardiola explains.

Regarding Haaland's adaptation and performance, Guardiola emphasizes, "It's the level he showed since he arrived on day one. We cannot control what people say. When he (Haaland) is unhappy, he will take his decision."
