'He is just a genius': Jack Grealish
"He is just a genius he is not. I just told him there 'I just want to thank you, you have done this for me, you have believed in me so much that you bought me for a lot of money", Jack Grealish replied when asked about manager Pep Guardiola.
Manchester City under Pep Guardiola has been in tremendous form in the last three to four years and has been the constant champions of the English Premier League for three constant years. The team's performance has also been enlightened by Norweigan striker Erling Haaland.
