Expectations for Jack Grealish still remain in England.
The British Telegraph reported on the 27th (Korea time) "Grealish touched the ball once against Tottenham, went in as a substitute and stayed at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for 342 seconds. Most of them spent time waiting for VAR checks. He would not have seen Grealish if Thomas Tuchel, who was in the stands, was out at the end. If Grealish wants to play an important role in Tuchel's job of winning the World Cup, he must now leave Manchester City."
The Telegraph continued "Grealish has only made six appearances as a starter in the league this season. The playing time is only 605 minutes. This is the least amount of time since debuting in the first team. Grealish has to be the main player again"Grealish is not getting the right opportunity in Manchester City."
In addition, the media reported "He transferred for £100 million (about 180 billion won), but under Pep Guardiola, he did not enjoy the freedom as Dean Smith gave him when he was at Aston Villa. Nevertheless, he contributed a lot to the treble of winning the English Premier League (EPL), the UEFA Champions League (UCL), and the FA Cup in the 2022-2023 season"I looked at it from a Grealish-only perspective.
It is a view that defends Grealish to the extent that it feels excessive. It is also true that Grealish made a great contribution to Manchester City's treble in the 2022-2023 season. It is also true that Grealish did not enjoy tactical benefits compared to his heyday in Villa.
However, except for the 2022-2023 season, Grealish did not show a brilliant performance, nor did he perform tactically enough on the field to be the center. Grealish doesn't get a decent chance at Manchester City because he hasn't proven his £100m transfer fee and his £15.6m annual salary. If Grealish had consistently shown Elling Holan, Kevin De Bruyne, and Rodri-classes, would he have been struggling with a lack of playing time at Manchester City now. It won't be.
Grealish failed to convince Pep Guardiola in his demeanor and self-management after his treble at Manchester City. In the second half of last season, England's The Athletic said "Guardiola has repeatedly expressed concerns about Grealish throughout the season. The trouble peaked in early May after Manchester City players were given three days off between crucial games against Wolverhampton and Fulham. When he returned to training, Guardiola said he felt Grealish's efforts were too short of expectations.
Last summer, he made headlines for his profligacy of drinking and partying after being dropped from the England Euro 2024 shortlist. As a result of not taking care of himself in the pre-season, Grealish is still struggling with a slump this season.
Man City has no intention of catching Grealish in the first place. Manchester City are planning a major rebuild in the upcoming summer transfer market. The release list has already been classified, and Grealish is one of its members. Man City are expected to try to clean up Grealish, who is not very helpful to the team, and try to get new blood transfusions.
