Jack Grealish is prepared to move past a mediocre season, according to Pep Guardiola, and play a significant role in Manchester City’s title defense.
Guardiola doesn’t think Grealish has yet reached the pinnacles of the Treble campaign, despite the fact that he has three goals and two assists in his first 26 games this season.
The 28-year-old was crucial to City winning the three main titles, but Jeremy Doku, a summer acquisition, has frequently been chosen ahead of him, and two injuries have further impeded his development.
After suffering a grоin injury twо weeks agо in Cоpenhagen, Grealish healed rapidly, and оn Tuesday night, he shоuld play against Lutоn Tоwn in the FA Cup fifth rоund.
“Jack has returned in many ways over the last month,” Guardiola remarked. For this reason, he participated in a crucial Champions League match in Copenhagen.
“Hopefully, he can repeat the success from the previous season.” That is dependent upon him. I attempt to make fair decisions.

Guardiola said the England international has a special quality which can help the team
He played a lot of minutes the previous season and fewer at first this one. The style we play has not changed, and he is still the same player and management.
“Nothing has changed,” Guardiola continued. It’s simply how he has carried himself. The distinction is that. We need him, I stated from the beginning; he brings a unique quality to our squad. He is essential to us. That is dependent upon him. I hope he can have a successful final three months.
“I don’t need to be convinced by the players.” They must persuade themselves that they are worthy of participating.
Guardiola also disclosed that upon his arrival in 2016, former coach Brian Kidd had instructed him to merely acknowledge the Carabao Cup. Under the Catalan, City has won the competition four times.
“Ah the Carabao Cup, don’t pay attention, play the young players, nobody cares, Sir Alex Ferguson always thought it doesn’t matter,” Guardiola recalled hearing from Brian Kidd on an earlier occasion.
“It’s really tough; I don’t know what happened in the past years, but every team plays to win today.”
