Grealish was bought by Man City from Aston Villa in 2021 for a record transfer fee (with Man City) of £ 100 million. To this day, he is still the most expensive British player ever transferred. Although it costs Man City so much money, but Grealish does not automatically get the main kick in the tactical system that includes all the quality links of coach Guardiola.
On the left wing, Grealish has to compete with a formidable opponent, compatriot Phil Foden. In fact, this talented couple is constantly competing with each other both at the national team and club level. Due to an injury, Foden will not be able to play and the opportunity for Jack to build his place in the main squad is even higher.
In the match Man City defeated the fierce opponent Liverpool 4-1 a few days ago, Grealish was one of the most prominent players. Not only providing an assist to help Julian Alvarez open the scoring, but Grealish himself also scored a jubilant victory for the reigning English champion. With his shoes on 2 goals, it is not surprising that the former Aston Villa midfielder was voted the best player of the match.
Jack Grealish continued to play excellently in the last match when Man City faced Southamton. He moved into the middle, passed to Kevin De in a favorable position. Kevin sent a delicate pass for Halaand to open the scoring.
Early in the second half, Jack descended quickly and after two shots he made it 2-0. Without stopping, Jack continued to play extremely well. He dribbled the ball with speed and delicately passed Halaand’s beautiful volley to score for Man City.
Grealish’s success is not just limited to his on-field performances. He has also become a fan favorite due to his good looks and charming personality. He has a massive social media following, and his off-field persona has only added to his appeal.
At one time, Man City was suspected of paying too high a price to own Grealish. However, reality is showing that Grealish is now well worth the £ 100 million transfer fee. It should be known, before leaving for Qatar to attend the 2022 World Cup with England, Grealish only scored 1 goal and did not contribute any assists for Man City this season. After the 2022 World Cup, he almost “molts” when he has 3 goals and 8 assists in all competitions.
Since December of last year, Grealish has started in 12 of 14 Premier League games alone, including the last 10 consecutive matches. The details above show that coach Guardiola is increasingly using Grealish. Coach Guardiola’s way of using people helps Grealish gain more confidence when he is given a lot of acting land by the Man City coach.
