I Didn’t Help Myself At Manchester City – Grealish

Everton forward Jack Grealish has admitted that he holds some regrets over his past partying scandals. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, even though he would not say his partying is the main reason he left Manchester City to join Everton on loan, he’ll be the first to admit that he didn’t help himself at the Etihad.

Grealish added that while it is good to enjoy life once in a while, there is a time and place for everything.

His words, “People go, ‘he likes to go out, he likes to party’ – and I do. I want to be able to live my life as well and enjoy myself, but there’s a time and a place to do that.

I’ll be honest with you, I probably haven’t picked the right times – sometimes at City, for example, I didn’t help myself at times, I’ll openly say that – but then I don’t think it was all down to that.

People say to me, ‘what happened at City?’ But I had two good years there. The first year I was getting used to everything, going there for that amount of money, the pressure and just getting used to the way the manager wanted to play and the environment. The second year we won the treble and it was an unbelievable year. I loved it. The third year, I put that down to myself really and I feel like I didn’t do certain things right in that year.

People were saying to me, ‘what are you doing going to Everton’, and I was like, ‘what do you mean?’. It’s a massive club.

I’m at my best when I feel loved. You know I’m quite vulnerable off the pitch and I wanted to go somewhere to just feel the love again, and to just wake up and want to play with a smile on my face again.

Obviously people have a perception of me, but there’s nothing I love doing more than playing football. Whether that’s on the training field, I just love playing football.”

WOW.
