The Manchester City winger Jack Grealish's penchant for alcohol has been well-known for a while, and it seems not even Pep Guardiola can keep it in check.
Details: The head coach of the reigning English champion commented on footage showing a drunken Grealish at a pub in Newcastle, stating that he doesn't interfere in the private lives of his players, and what matters to him are their performances on the field.
Quote: “They know what they need to do. They have their private lives, and they can do whatever they want. I'm not going to control what they do in their personal lives. I judge by what I see on the field, in training, and in game performances. That's how I evaluate the players.
Of course, I want Jack to be at his best, but he has had setbacks, he hasn't played, but sometimes it was due to injuries, he couldn't find the rhythm needed to be ready every three days,” Guardiola stated.
