"Little pinches here and there between me and Haaland"

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is having incredible performances for his team and always tries to improve on them in every game. In fact, the Norwegian's tricks were unveiled by Ben Mee.

The Brentford defender said the 22-year-old pinches his opponents to distract them: "He is a powerful lad and we have had a little bit of a jostle. 

"Obviously we are trying to be physical with him and use our body in and around the box to stop him from getting into any positions he wants to. Little pinches here and there between me and him," Mee told 'Sky Sports'.

The Englishman went on to talk about Brentford's last game against Manchester City which was played in November: "They had a lot of the ball but I've spoken before about managers and how they can influence teams, and it's that structure, that influence to us on the pitch that goes a long way," he said.
