Guardiola’s “massive” rotations have a new victim this new year: Jack Grealish. He was one of the many keys to Guardiola’s treble last season and started the season regularly in the eleven. However, He played just three minutes in City’s two-nil win over Everton this Saturday. and this is not the first time in the second part of the season.
On 7 January he played 57 minutes against Huddersfield in the FA Cup. Their participation is meager. Against Newcastle and Tottenham he did not play a single minute, and against Burnley he entered the field in 13th, also with the game almost finished. He also made no substitute appearances against Brentford on February 5, and three minutes against Everton this Saturday marked the culmination of his full substitution.
The reality is also that the trident that Pep Guardiola has recently used behind Haaland, who was also in the starting line-up before the Norwegian’s return, is unstoppable. Foden, Julian Alvarez and Doku They are at an impressive level, which undoubtedly makes it difficult for Grealish to get into the eleven, even sometimes.
And this is what usually happens with the Catalan coach. He ‘Bernardo Silva case‘, made a couple of seasons ago, is a clear reflection of what Guardiola’s City one day you’re a dump and the next you’re one of the best players in the world. Although it is also true that not all players can withstand such ups and downs. Ferran asked to start and Pep could not guarantee this, despite possible future opportunities.
Last season Jack Grealish played a total of 50 games.. He played almost everything, and at a really high level, meeting the requirements placed on him, for which it was worth it. He scored 5 goals and provided 11 assists.. He was among the top 3 in the Premier League in terms of dangerous chances created. One of the most important players of last season.
