City manager says players judged on pitch performance: ‘I’m not going to control what they do in their private life’
Pep Guardiola is not concerned about images that emerged this week showing Jack Grealish socialising. Photograph: Oli Scarff/AFP via Getty ImagesGrealish had two days off after last Saturday’s 3-1 FA Cup fifth-round win over Plymouth. On the Sunday he was pictured in a pub in east Manchester and then at two different places, both of which also served alcohol, in the north-east later that day.
Grealish has suffered another injury-hampered season which, together with uneven form, has limited him to only 14 starts in all competitions. Guardiola was asked if he would understand the player seeking to depart in the close season to try to guarantee game time elsewhere with a view to securing an England place before the World Cup in 2026.
“I understand all the frustrations of all my players,” said Guardiola. “It’s so good to have a dream to play in the World Cup and the European Cup with his national team. I’m not bothered by that. What happens in terms of Jack, in terms of everyone, they will be treated at the end of the season. But now we are playing for many important things for the club. I want the best not just for Jack but for everyone. He is a player for Man City. What will happen? I don’t know what is going to happen.
