"Simple as that": Guardiola explains why Grealish lost out to Savinho

The recent performances of Manchester City’s Jack Grealish have left little to excite the club's fans, while his positional rival, Savinho, has been in impressive form. This prompted head coach Pep Guardiola to compare the two players.

Details: According to the Spaniard, the competition with Savinho will benefit Grealish, as it will push him to elevate his level to match that of the Brazilian.

Quote: "It's simple. No matter how he sees himself, he will see the competition and understand that he has to compete too. Savinho is in better form than Jack, which is why I chose him. Would I like to see the Jack who won the Treble? Yes, absolutely. But I try to be honest with myself about these decisions.

I fought hard for Grealish, I fought hard for him to be here, for him to do it again and again, and I know he can because I’ve seen it. I’ve seen his level, and I want to see that in every training session and every match. If not, there’s Savinho," said Guardiola.
