Maresca explains why Haaland can’t be Man City captain

Erling Haaland may be one of Manchester City's biggest stars, but Enzo Maresca has already identified one rather amusing problem with making him the club's next captain.It all comes down to what happens after City score.At both Leicester City and Chelsea, Maresca had a simple rule for his captain: whenever the team scored, the captain had to return to the bench rather than join the celebrations, so the manager could immediately give tactical instructions.Premier League shake-up: Nine new managers and Arteta's longest tenureThere was, however, one exception."If the captain scores, then he can celebrate," Maresca explained, talking to The Athletic.And that is where Haaland could cause a problem.When the Norwegian's name was mentioned as a potential captain, Maresca immediately laughed."That is a good one," he said. "But if Erling is the captain, f***ing hell! We have a problem, can you imagine?"Maresca about Sterling and Disasi: "Life of my father is hard, theirs is not"The joke aside, Maresca does have a genuine captaincy decision to make. City currently have three or four options, while Rodri's uncertain future could leave another leadership position to fill.Haaland, meanwhile, was one of the first players to welcome Maresca to the club and remains one of the central figures of his new-look City side.He just might be the one captain who would have a particularly good excuse for ignoring his manager's rule.##NAJAVA_MECA_9889577##
