Grealish in Portugal Sweat Session: A Quest for Redemption
Sunshine and sweat, but a hint of disappointment for Jack Grealish. The Manchester City winger was spotted putting in the extra hours in Portugal, just hours after England secured their spot in the Euro 2024 final.
Grealish’s summer has been a mixed bag. He fell out of favor at City last season and was then left out of England’s squad. [“Ouch,” Gareth Southgate might be muttering under his breath.] Despite the snub, Grealish remained a vocal supporter of his teammates throughout the Euros.
This time though, there were no celebratory social media posts from Grealish after England’s win. Was it a case of “silence speaks volumes?” Perhaps.
But Grealish isn’t letting the disappointment slow him down. He’s been hitting the gym hard, and these latest snaps show him putting himself through a rigorous training session under the Portuguese sun.
The message is clear: Grealish has a point to prove in the upcoming season. He’s returning to Manchester this weekend to join a slimmed-down City squad heading to the USA for pre-season training.
This is Grealish’s chance to impress both Pep Guardiola and Gareth Southgate. He wants to show them he’s taken their feedback on board and is working tirelessly to be in peak condition for the new season.
Joining Grealish on the redemption tour will be big names like Erling Haaland, while youngsters who reported early are already getting a head start. Some European stars like Gvardiol and Kovacic might even be available after their teams’ early exits from the Euros.
Will this summer of sweat translate to success for Grealish? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: he’s putting in the work to make his mark.
