Manchester City are battling to win their fifth Premier League title in succession this season and Jack Grealish has sent a strong warning to their rivals ahead of Sunday’s clash with Wolves
Jack Grealish has warned that Pep Guardiola’s hunger for success is driving Manchester City towards more glory.
The four-in-a-row Premier League champions continue their quest for a second Champions League triumph in three seasons against Sparta Prague on Wednesday. They are also eyeing a fifth successive domestic crown. And Grealish said: “I think part of it (winning) comes from the manager. The manager feeds that into us.
“It also comes from us as players. When you win as much as we do, it is all you want to keep doing. That feeling of lifting trophies never goes away and winning stuff with each other.
“It is one of the best feelings in football when you win trophies with your team-mates after a long and hard season. It is something that doesn’t go away and hopefully we can do it again this year.
The winger has made nine appearances since then has notched two assists. Speaking in August, Guardiola said: “What I’ve seen so far here, one week in the pre-season on tour, I loved it. I don’t care how he performs, it’s every session his commitment and his trying, against Barcelona he made five or six shots, he was aggressive with the ball, that’s all, after that, his quality will do the rest.
“I know he’ll be a father soon and we’re so happy for that. All I ask of the players is that – you like to play football, yes, so play. Hopefully, he can sustain it until the end of the season and like the rest compete with everyone for one place in the starting XI, that depends on him. What I see in behaviours, in training and how you’re performing, as well as you do the more chance you have.”
