During the conference, "Man City" head coach Josep Guardiola has to answer difficult questions. The Catalan defended Jack Grealish, who cost 100 million pounds last year and has not yet scored a goal or made an assist this season. "I always tell him that the player himself knows how to play and what we expect from him. What is the game plan, what worked, and where things went wrong. So, critics do not know about our match plans and whether they have succeeded, so the player does not have to listen to what people say about him. Of course, I want him to score goals and make assists - which Grealish does. However, the point is not about that - attention should be paid to what he can do without the ball and how useful he is, and what he can do in defense," said J. Guardiola.
