Jack Grealish no longer has the blues. In recent months, the Englishman has dragged his spleen to Manchester City, where he was no longer in the plans of Pep Guardiola. The latter estimated to have done their best to help the footballer bought € 117.5 million. A departure was therefore preferable for him as for his club. “Jack is an exceptional player and he has to play. These last two seasons, he has not played much and he must find playing time, the excitement of playing every three days and showing all his qualities again ”assured Guardiola, who has always been a fan of the English player. But he no longer managed to get the most out of it as had been the case during the famous tripled season. Prayed to leave, the player who celebrated his 30th birthday in September spent the summer getting smacked at work.
Liverpool blues skyblues
He has prepared himself physically, far from agitation and the media but also excesses. It is not a secret, Grenish is known to be a hell of a backward party. British tabloids have multiplied the articles on his watered evenings or the photos of his outings until the early morning. A reputation that sticks to his skin and the jersey, but that Grenish assumed a few days ago in the press. “People say:” He likes to go out, he likes to party “, and that's right. I want to be able to live my life and have fun, but obviously, there is a moment and a place for that. Sometimes I probably didn't choose the right times. In City, I didn't help myself sometimes, I say it openly, but I don't think it's only for that. “
Everything was not gathered so that he was fully happy on the field. Outside, the one who became a girl's father almost a year ago seems to be. Patient, so he waited to find the right exit door this summer. Naples as well as Al-Ahli, Al-Hilal and Neom SC in Saudi Arabia have looked into his case. Aston Villa also tried the field to repatriate the former child of the club. But the native of Birmingham finally said yes to Everton on August 12. “Jack Grealish joined Everton for a loan of a season. Grealish joins the Toffees for the 2025/26 season after playing 157 matches with City and scored 17 goals in four seasons with the club. ” In the process, we learned that a purchase option has been set at € 58 million.
City can bite their fingers
But the residents of the Etihad Stadium must say that they should have certainly asked for more money. Because Grealish is in full rebirth in Liverpool blues. In 9 appearances all competitions in his new colors (7 in the Premier League, 2 in Carabao Cup), he has already delivered 4 assists (2 against Brighton and 2 against Wolverhampton). Yesterday, he opened his goal counter with Everton since he found the net in the 2-1 victory against Crystal Palace. After the meeting, the media excited for English, elected player of August in the Premier League. This is the case with Liverpool Echo which gave him a 7.
“Rewarded for trying to make things happen until the end. An important moment for him and the club supporters. Before that, he sought to test the opposing goalkeeper as soon as he could, which he had not done so far “wrote the THE. Grealish (64 touched balloons, 42 assists, 1 tackle, 7 duels won, 1 goal) also cracked the Daily Mailwho talked about “hero” :: “There is something to say about a player who rediscovers his love for football in real time and that's what we feel with Grenish. For Grealish, it is not only the winning goal that is scored, but everything related to Everton makes sense. He arrived here with a big smile on his face. ”
Everyone bows to Grealish
THE Dm added: “He spoke to the broadcasters beforehand in the way he has already felt at home since he joined the club on loan from Manchester City. In the end, he smiled at the confusion he had caused in the stands for all the good reasons with his victorious goal in the 93rd minute. Only Erling Haaland and Antoine Semenyo contributed more to the goal (9) than Jack Grenish (5) this season in the Premier League. Not bad as players. “ His return to grace is also the best answers to Thomas Tuchel, who has not summoned him. “Grealish, who has delivered the most assists in the Premier League this season since his summer transfer from Manchester City, began this unhappy shock that Tuchel left him out of his last team from England”launched The Sun.
But his coach, David Moyes, should not be unhappy to have him with him during the truce. Especially since he was not 100% of his capacities. “Jack has undergone some minor injuries, which forced us to treat him a little in the last two games. He had to miss a few days of training because of this, but I do not think his performance is questioned. I think it does a lot of good things. ” For his part, Grenish was on a cloud after the final whistle. “I had 2 correct shots, I don't know if we can count the goal as a shot. I said that I wanted to be more often in these positions and the manager told me at halftime. ”
A happy footballer and man
He continues: “I wanted to try to be at the second post and I was there and the goals came from there, so I have to thank the manager for that. It's great. It's so nice to score here. Do you know what's crazy? During the last matches we played, we died and I kept telling me in the 85th minute: “Go jack, go ahead and mark. Imagine if you were marked now!” I did it against Villa (0-0), I did it against West Ham (1-1) and I did not score. So today, I repeated the same thing, I marked and ran to my parents, it was nice. This goal comes to all the people who welcomed me so well in Everton. ”
He said: “This is what we want to do as an addicted. I have a goal and four assists, that's what I want to do. It was difficult to do that today against such a good team. They have incredible players. I think that Adam Wharton today … The title of man of the match comes back to me, but I think he should return to Adam Wharton, because, in my opinion, he was the best player on the field today. “ Class to the end, this new Jack Grenish has everything to please, he who seems to have metamorphosed. Journalist specializing in English football, Salim Bangally tells us more about this change of face of the player. “He was in an inextricable situation in Manchester City. He had completely lost Guardiola's confidence, which is a key element. ”
Everton already wants to keep it
He continues: “Guardiola is someone trying to protect. At first, it was going well for him. And then, it was gradually stretched until he was just a player who plays but who was not decisive. So his departure was inevitable. When he joined Everton, many saw it as a recovery for him. The impression he gives is that he is a team player a tone below the very large. The Aston Villa of the time was perhaps in this category. Today, this is no longer the case. It is not impossible for him to be a player who explodes in clubs with “a little less pressure”. What he has done since the start of the season is remarkable. ”
He concludes: “He is a key player in Moyes, who revived him. We can criticize him on many things, but he is a coach who knows how to put his executives in a situation of trust, who makes them develop in a fairly calm way. So it helps. There is a coach, a club and a framework where he can progress serenely. All this allows Grenish to become a good player, who feels good and performers. For the England team, it can become something interesting. Now the question is whether it will have a constant level. He is not asked to be good in 2 months, but over a longer period to be potentially available for the World Cup. ” Happy, the Phoenix Grenish, that Everton already wants to keep definitively, is reborn from his ashes.
