P. Guardiola about J. Grealish: "We didn't buy him to score 45 goals per season" © JumpStory

Last summer, Jack Grealish, who moved to Manchester City for around £100 million, became the most expensive English footballer of all time. However, the first season for the 26-year-old attacking midfielder in the City ranks did not unfold as expected. Grealish scored only three goals and provided the same number of assists in over 25 matches, and recently publicly admitted that he would like to significantly improve his statistics. However, City manager Pep Guardiola disagrees with his player's position, stating that Grealish was not bought to score many goals. "Perhaps, Grealish listens too much to others' opinions. In my opinion, this season he is showing an even better game. In the match against Crystal Palace, he could have scored three goals in 20 minutes. Although it didn't happen that time, I believe we will soon see something similar. On the other hand, we didn't buy him to score 45 goals per season," Guardiola said at a press conference.
