“He always has something to say about me”- Manchester City’s Jack Grealish irritated by English Media and Football pundits’ comments on him

As he continues to receive criticism at Manchester City, Jack Grealish admitted that he occasionally wants to tell the English media to stop bothering him. Football players who cost £100 million will always be the subject of intense media scrutiny, which can demoralize them.

Jack Grealish’s record-breaking transfer from Aston Villa to Manchester City seems to support that notion. He has requested that the pundits, notably Graeme Souness, leave him alone so that he can focus on playing football.

“I often feel like I just do exactly the same things as the other players, but people talk about them because it is me doing them…that’s exactly what I said in relation to Souness: he always has something to say about me,” the City winger told sources. “And he responded by saying I can’t take criticism. Today, we, the footballers, if we allow ourselves to respond to something said about us, we are portrayed as if we are people who cannot stand criticism.

“Sometimes I want to say to them (English media), leave me alone a bit and focus on someone else, so that I can focus on my game. Because there is always this noise around me, generated by articles or other things. It is undoubtedly linked to my style of play and the fact that I play in one of the biggest clubs in the world. I imagine also that the fee that Manchester City paid for me to Aston Villa contributes to this attention also.”

Jack Grealish has received a lot of criticism based on his performance for Manchester City

He has seven goals and four assists in 51 outings for the Premier League champions across all competitions. Grealish must now support his remarks made off the field with his on-field actions, as he has done frequently in the past. On Saturday, he and his teammates will travel to the King Power Stadium to play Leicester before hosting Sevilla in the Champions League.

Grealish scored the first goal of City’s 3-0 triumph at Molineux after just 55 seconds, and he afterwards claimed that the criticism of his lack of goals and assists since joining the team in a world-record £100 million transfer from childhood club Aston Villa was warranted. The 27-year-old scored three league goals in 28 games last season, one fewer than the center back Aymeric Laporte.

Jack Grealish is an easy target for unfair criticism, according to Kevin De Bruyne, who also thinks his Manchester City teammate is treated harsher merely because he is English. At the conclusion of a week in which his effect has been closely analyzed, Grealish scored his first goal since May as City defeated Wolves, prompting Pep Guardiola to defend the England forward’s contributions.
