Did the meeting with Manchester City go wrong.
Jack Grealish, who was once accused of being England's football's greatest talent but fell into entertainment and became a `drunk' and was effectively kicked out of the team, has made a remarkable comeback. After a remarkable performance at Everton, where he was transferred on loan, he was selected as the English Premier League (EPL) 'August Player of the Month' for the first time in his career.
On the 12th (Korea time), the EPL secretariat announced Grealish as 'August Player of the Month' on its official SNS.
It's a surprising twist. Grealish was virtually kicked out of Manchester City ahead of this season and transferred to Everton on loan. This is because there was no more room to play in Manchester City under Pep Guardiola. Guardiola completely turned a blind eye to Grealish, whose form collapsed, enjoying frequent drinking and entertainment during the season.
He even said publicly that the decision was for Grealish to transfer to a new team after removing it from the FIFA Club World Cup roster altogether. In fact, Guardiola declared that Grealish was 'disbanded'.
Until then, Grealish's career seemed to have fallen to a dead end. Grealish eventually transferred to Everton on loan and aimed for a return to the mainland. In the meantime, he was also pushed out of the English national soccer team, which seemed to be a built-in position.
But Grealish only regained his form after falling to the bottom of his career. As soon as he joined Everton, he established himself as the main player and performed brilliantly. Grealish, who played 19 minutes as a substitute in the opening game of the league against Leeds United, started the second round against Brighton and Hove Albion, scoring two assists to give his team their first win of the season..
In the third round, he also started against Wolverhampton and scored two more assists to lead his team's winning streak. Everton, with Grealish's remarkable revival at the forefront, are ranked fifth in the EPL (six points) with two wins and one loss until the third round.
There was no shortage to be selected as Grealish's 'August Player of the Month', having achieved four assists in the first three games of the season. He is back as the best player in the EPL. In particular, it is the first time in Grealish's career that he has won the 'Player of the Month' award. The EPL secretariat expressed expectations, saying, `Grealish had the opportunity to post two assists in three consecutive matches for the first time in Premier League history against his former team Villa in the fourth round. Attention is focusing on how far Grealish's performance, which has been revived as a 'best talent' from the bottom, will continue.
