Jack Grealish Keen To Start the 2024-25 Campaign in Flying Colours
Jack Grealish is determined to reach the performance levels he showcased in Manchester City's pre-season clash against Barcelona in the 2024-25 season.
During the Cityzens' third pre-season friendly in the USA, Grealish scored a goal, helping City to a 2-2 draw with the Catalan club before losing on penalties.
He received a pass from Mateo Kovacic and found the top corner from a tight angle. Captaining the team in the second half, Grealish was a standout performer in Orlando and is hopeful it’s a sign of more to come.
Reflecting on his performance, Grealish said: “I’m happy with the way I played,” the England international said.
“I said in the press conference the other day that I want to come here and show that I’m back fit and back playing with the confidence I know I can have.
“Hopefully we can have more performances like that. Obviously, I want to score more goals, get more assists and help the team like anyone does. I’ll take on what the manager says and hopefully moving forward I can do that.”
City boss Pep Guardiola also lauded the Englishman saying: “He was aggressive. I know in controlling the ball he is good, but [tonight] he made four or five shots.
“This is what it is - he has to prove himself, but I am really pleased with the game he played.”
