Manchester City manager Josep Guardiola was particularly impresse by Jack Grealish’s determination during the 2024 pre-season tour. With the latest game in which the team drew 2-2 with Barcelona full of resentment and a desire to prove their worth.
Grealish was inconsistent last season due to injuries and poor fitness, and was eventually drop from England’s squad for Euro 2024, which has left the 28-year-old with a huge emotional scar.
That’s why he’s been working hard since before City’s training camp. Once they’ve been together, he’s been a key player in the last two games. For example, in the game at Camping World Stadium in Florida, USA, they tied the game 2-2, but unfortunately the team lost 1-4 on penalties.
The overall impression of 84 minutes was clearly a madness that Guardiola described as a maniac.
“That guy is fierce,” he said on the website ufabet https://ufabet999.app.
“I already know his strengths in ball possession, but last night he added 4-5 chances to score.”
“That’s what happened – the guy developed himself. I was impressed with the way he played.”
“Overall, the team is getting better every game – fitness is improving.”
“Rico Lewis played well again, thank you very much, Oscar Bobb, Nico O’Reilly, all of them.”
“Calvin Phillips, who played at centre-back, was outstanding last night.”
“Josko Gvardiol carried the team from the first minute, Mateo Kovacic too, even though they just finished Euro 2024 (with Croatia). It was really great.”
City will conclude their US tour against Chelsea ( August 3 ) before flying back to the UK for the Community Shield against Manchester United ( August 11 ) .
