Manchester City star Nathan Ake admits that playing against Erling Haaland in training is a challenge.
The Dutch defender has gotten the chance to see the Norway striker up close and personal this season.
While he is delighted to have Haaland on the same team in matches, Ake admits that he is a great rival in training.
He told reporters during a press conference: “It is a good challenge. Training is a little bit different to the games, of course, but it is a good contest.
“He is difficult to mark and he can do so many things. For us as defenders, training is about knowing where he wants to get the ball and where we can play to him.
“He has got so many attributes."
