Kevin De Bruyne talks about criticism of Jack Grealish: “He is watched more because he is English”

It only took a handful of seconds for KDB to address a center which he alone has the secret in the small rectangle of Jose Sa, Wolverhampton goalkeeper. At the reception, Jack Grealish who managed to find the net for the first time this season.

Bought 100 million a season ago at Aston Villa, the Manchester City left winger, who is taking advantage of Raheem Sterling’s departure from Chelsea to play more, is often criticized in England. Whether for his contribution on the field but also sometimes for his behavior outside.

With the Daily Mail, Kevin De Bruyne wanted to defend his teammate. “You have to be patient with Jack Grealish. I think people don’t realize the difficulties you have when you change clubs for the first time. You have to get used to this new club, this new life. people think it’s easy, but you have a lot of difficulties in those moments. Of course, Jack needs time to adapt. But I think he does it well. I think you just have to be patient because , personally, I’m not too worried,” says the Devil.

Who doesn’t appreciate the criticism Jack Grealish receives for his behavior off the pitch. “It’s not just about football, it goes beyond that. I think English players are watched way too much. I understand that because they’re English, fans are more likely to watch what they do. But I have the impression that foreign players, when we go out to party, we are less spied on. Whereas, when an English player goes out one evening, it is directly reflected in the media. Whereas, what they do in their private lives is up to them.”
