“I have played only 14 minutes in the last 4 matches despite being fit Pep Guardiola still benches me, I want to lesve the Club with immediate effect- Man City Star wants to LEAVE Ethihad due to lack of playing time
Jack Grealish was made the most expensive footballer in Britain by Manchester City, and Pep Guardiola has ordered him to return to that level of play.
Grealish has only played 14 minutes in City’s last four games, starting as a late substitute in a 3-1 victory against Burnley ten days ago.
Grealish is no longer a factor because of the outstanding play of Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden; City manager Guardiola is pleading with the England winger to return to his true self in order to regain his spot.
Oscar Bobb, a young Norwegian winger, has also begun this season before Grealish. The 28-year-old will have to work hard to play frequently before England’s Euro 2024 campaign begins this summer.
When asked how Grealish could rejoin the City team, Guardiola replied, “Be yourself.” Jack is one of my players that I’m always happy with.
“He needs to put in the effort to return to his previous level, particularly from the previous season, and to Aston Villa altogether. I can’t wait to give him some minutes. All he’s doing right now is working towards becoming his best. We need Jack, we need him, and we need everyone.
He is competing against players at a high level and is taking the necessary steps to return to his peak performance. There isn’t any other explanation. He wasn’t as good as he was last season, but he’s improving. He’s been improving lately this season, so we’re optimistic.

Guardiola acknowledged that Grealish was negatively impacted by the December 27 break-in at his home while his family was present and he was leading Everton to a 3-1 victory.
When asked if the raid had any impact on Grealish, Guardiola replied, “I’m pretty sure it did for a few days.” Hopefully he forgot, but it would have also had an impact on me. The events involving him, his girlfriend, and his family are not simple. He handled it rather nicely, in my opinion. He hasn’t talked about the topic recently, so maybe he’s okay.

With a win over Everton today, City may take the top spot in the standings, but Guardiola was eager to downplay any thoughts of his team winning the Treble again. “There is a 99.99 percent chance that we won’t win the Treble,” Guardiola stated. “Here’s your chance to do it again [makes noise with a raspberry].”
“Manchester United at the time would have done it again if it had been simple. It’s not simple. We’re still there, which is something I like. We are nearly at the top of the league, and we have qualified for other events as well.
Right now, this is what appeals to me. In order to compete for the crowns in May, hopefully we will arrive in March and April feeling the same way. This
is the intended recipient.
