'Probably haven't been playing at the top of my game' – Jack Grealish says Man City is 'completely different'

Jack Grealish admits he “hasn’t been playing at the top” of his game since joining Manchester City but says he has a “great relationship” with manager Pep Guardiola. Grealish moved to City for £100 million in August 2021, making him the most expensive English transfer ever. Ad He scored his first goal of the season in City’s 3-0 win over Wolves at the weekend and has been selected by Gareth Southgate for England’s Nations League upcoming games against Italy and Germany.

Premier League'It's been difficult' — Grealish reflects on his own Man City performances08/05/2022 AT 13:50 Asked about his form, Grealish said: «I think I deal with pressure well, but I do feel like I can start playing a lot better. »I probably haven't been playing at the top of my game since I've moved to City, but I think I've shown glimpses of it and over the next two months especially I'm just going to try to get my head down as much as I can, work so hard, and hopefully good things will happen.” Grealish has struggled to find his feet at City, with six goals and four assists to his name last season while not starting most of the big games. At his former club Aston Villa he was the big star but he has struggled for form over the last 12 months.

«It's completely different to the way it was at Villa,” said Grealish. “I think at Villa I was more free. »At City, there's more structure.

I have a great relationship with the manager. I've said in so many interviews I have never seen anything like it in the way he thinks and the way he looks at football. «He's just obsessed with it and you can tell why and see why.
