In August 2021, Gralich finally landed in Manchester for more than 100 million euros, and Manchester City got the then 25-year-old Villa striker, mainly due to the stalemate in Sterling's contract extension with the team, and the club decided to sell Sterling because of his average performance, and Glalish was undoubtedly Sterling's replacement.
But more than half a season has passed, and the arrival of Glallish has not only failed to play the price, but even worse than in the Villa period, not to mention, the "British Emperor Star" can not control his love of alcohol and nightclubs, Manchester City broke the transfer record for him, but Glallis has become the player that Manchester City regrets bringing in the most.
Gralis was content to join Manchester City
Not to mention replacing Sterling at its peak, even replacing the current Stirling, is an extremely difficult thing for Glalish.
If you ask The Manchester City fans how Glalish really is and whether he can become the future of Manchester City, perhaps most Manchester City fans will be skeptical of Graelis.
Next, talk about this, "traditional" England star, from life to personal data, what has he brought to Manchester City?
If this had been Pogba, the media and fans would have gone crazy long ago
Gralis, like most Premier League stars before the 20th century, loves alcohol, nightclubs, parties, and when he was at Villa, he was the heart of the whole team and no one would stop him, but Manchester City is different, as the strongest team in European football, even if not the top team in traffic, but their players still live in the spotlight.
On December 21, 2021, the British media broke the news that Glalish took Manchester City "Prince" Foden to a nightclub after the match with Leeds United, and in the next day's training, the two players performed poorly!
According to the timeline to check, it can be determined that Glalish and Foden went to the nightclub on December 15 (Manchester City's 7:0 victory United), and 4 days later (December 19), Manchester City will usher in a match with Newcastle, it should be noted that in December, the Premier League is still formulating an epidemic prevention strategy, these two rounds of competition, the Premier League has many games have been postponed!
Guardiola was furious
First of all, the Christmas schedule was a crucial period for Manchester City to pursue the Premier League title, secondly, England was not safe at the time, And Glalich and Foden even had a good chance of being infected in a crowded area, and once infected, they would be quarantined for about ten days or so (about 2-3 games were missed at that time), and finally, the two did not perform well in training on the second day.
A combination of factors made Guardiola very angry, with an iron fist, which is an important means for almost every famous manager, and a few days later, in the match against Newcastle, Foden and Glallish sat on the bench for a whole game.
And Guardiola also used a 4-0 score to tell Foden and Glalish that without you, Manchester City is still Manchester City, but you can't get the honor you want without me!
In the ensuing match against Leicester City, Guardiola began to reuse Sterling, and the soft-served Foden also got a substitute opportunity, but Glalis still sat on the bench.
Guardiola's football philosophy is actually very simple, if you do something wrong, you must admit it, but the penalty is punished, the internal thing, the internal solution, don't expand the matter.
Glalis does not seem to have been taught a lesson
Just in early February, Glalis made headlines again because Glalis and his teammates Mahrez and Walker wanted to enter a bar, but the photographer said that Gralis was very drunk and was rejected by the bar.
City then denied the claim and said not entering the bar was the players' own choice.
Guardiola could only stand up and respond publicly to the matter: Guardiola said that I was angry because my players did not invite me and I would fine them for not inviting me (Guardiola was joking).
This time, Glalish is not a violation of the rules, because according to manchester City's official information, when Gralis and others were filmed, the team was on holiday that day.
But it is clear that The drunken Glalis, who has long since adapted, will not change his habits because of anyone.
This matter has also sparked discussions abroad, and foreign fans generally believe that there is no problem with getting drunk, but professional players should be more disciplined!
Some fans can't help but compare Pogba with Glellish, who has been criticized by many media and fans for doing his hair, because they think Pogba should focus on training and competition, rather than doing hair, but now, many fans find that the heat of Glalish's frequent drunkenness is not as hot as Pogba's hairstyle.
Pogba seems to have matured quite a bit
In life, Glalish seems to be a very loving person.
He often satisfies the wishes of sick fans and young fans, encourages them to get out of trouble, and chats with only one word to describe the English star: "tradition", yes, the tradition of putting quotation marks, he is no different from many, talented England stars, glory and champions are important, but it is more important to enjoy in time.
Coutinho scored as many goals as Glaliches did in just three games!
Coutinho returned to the Premier League for 3 games, playing a total of 174 minutes, scoring 2 goals and assisting 2 times.
Glallish has made 17 appearances this season, playing 1271 minutes, but has only scored 2 goals and assisted 2 times.
The strong and huge contrast, perhaps another reason why the City hierarchy was particularly disappointed in Glaliche, got a 6-year contract at Manchester City, which was enough for him to eat for a lifetime, it seems that he just quieted down for a while and then returned to the time of Villa.
In the last 14 games he has played for Manchester City, Graalish has scored just 1 goal! No assists!
Recent appearances of Glallish
Compared to last season's 26 appearances at Villa, scoring six goals and assisting 10 times, Glaliche has been so shabby this season that it is hard to imagine that this is a player worth more than 100 million euros.
Glalis had great talents, but those talents seemed to have been erased by himself, many, many!
From the beginning of the 19/20 season, Villa rushed to succeed, the Premier League's top king and the most fouled Hazard left the Premier League, and Glalish began his own performance.
For two consecutive years, Graliës has been the most fouled player in the Premier League, having been violated more than 100 times, creating plenty of set-piece opportunities for Villa and always being the top player in the Premier League in terms of number of times.
But from Villa's core players to Manchester City's "little brother", Gralis also feels uncomfortable, he no longer has a lot of opportunities to hold the ball, compared to the Villa period, Manchester City will not need his individual combat ability too much, he needs to adapt to Manchester City, adapt to Guardiola's tactics, Manchester City will not adapt to him.
Although Glallish said that Guardiola gave him a huge boost, it could not change in the end, and his data was indeed in decline.
Guardiola wants the players to see the real chapter on the pitch
Gralis is not useless, he can still average 2.1 key passes per game this season, 34 key passes are created through sports battles, which is second only to Bruno Fernandez in the Premier League, but there is still a significant decline compared to his average of 3.1 per game in Villa.
In addition to offensive data, Glallish's defensive data has also declined due to City's stronger strength, last season, Gralis averaged 4.8 regains, 1.2 steals, 1.5 fouls per game and other statistics, but this season, his average number of regained possessions per game dropped to 2.4, the number of steals dropped to 0.6, and the average number of fouls per game dropped to 0.5.
These problems are related to his change of team, but it may not be without years of drunkenness, which brings instability! In any case, the data does not lie, this season, Gralis's average shooting data per game is not much different from last season's, but his ability to grasp opportunities has dropped from 43% last season to 29% this season, and the goal rate is as low as 7%!
Glallish was talented, but off-field factors severely inhibited his play
Guardiola replaced the criticism of the players with jokes in the press conference, which is a good proof of Guardiola's understanding of modern players, but Glaglis used up more than 100 million euros for Manchester City after all, and Guardiola still needs to patiently knock on this talented player who has performed well in the European Cup.
Because for Glallish, a 6-year high-paying contract can almost guarantee that he will not lack alcohol money for a lifetime, and even in Manchester City, even if he lies down, there are other teammates who can win the title, for Manchester City, Glarish is an important addition, he will not be a core player.
Glaris should find a better version of himself at Manchester City
At Manchester City, Gralië has the opportunity to become a better version of himself, Canceló, Bernardo Silva, Sterling, all of whom have become so outstanding under Guardiola, as long as Grallis cherishes his talent, he may not be able to leave his name in the history of Manchester City and even the Premier League.
However, now he has made the City executives regret it, compared to the taciturn and non-spending Kane, who is also Mr. Billion Dollar, at least Kane will not create so much negative news.
People will never learn from history: George Best, Gascoin, Rooney, Adams, Graves and other stars, all failed to show their full talent because of alcoholism, will Glallish usher in a change?
