Norwegian international Erling Haaland spoke to 'BBC' ahead of the FA Cup final City will play against local rivals Man United, which could see his team take one step closer to a historic treble.
He stated that Pep Guardiola is the best coach in the world and he sees things others don't: "Guardiola is the best coach in the world. (I've improved a lot) from the manager, from the people in the club, people working with me every day ... I've been developing in a really positive way and that's really important for me, I'm still really young. I'm still 22 and I've got a long career ahead of me and I still have to develop".
"It's something I was thinking of one year ago when I was thinking about my next move, about how I can develop even more and become an even better player. I've been developing in the right way", he added.
Speaking about Pep, Haaland highlighted his fixation on the "small details", and how "he sees things other people don't see".
Haaland acknowledged the spotlight that comes with his international success, but feels no need to try and hide from it, in fact he thinks it would be impossible: "I'm 196cm tall and I've got long blonde hair - people are going to see me", he admitted.
"That's how my life is, I can't complain. I try to enjoy every single moment of it and that's how it is ... try to relax when I'm home with good people around me, that's really important. Just try to enjoy my life."
Following his team's Premier League win, Haaland has the chance to take a second trophy on Saturday.
"We just have to not think too hard, just have to do what we've been doing the whole season ... not think too much and just win the games", he said, "Every game against United is not easy because of the history, they will be motivated, it's at Wembley, it's a final ... we have to focus and play the game we should play".
He finished by assuring he would do everything to bring the trophies home: "This is why they bought me ... to get this. We don't have to hide that so I will do everything I can to make it happen".
