Geralish: I want to tell the media not to pay so much attention to me, so that I can play better.

October 27 News recently, Manchester City striker Glenn Grillish talked about the criticism of him in an interview with the team Daily. In response, the England striker said he hopes the media will not pay too much attention to his performance and let him play well on his own, so that he can have a better performance.
About Saunes’ criticism of you and what the media think of you.
Geralish: “it’s strange that I often feel like I’m just doing exactly the same thing as other players, but people start to talk about him because I did it.” That’s what I want to say to Souness: he always has something to say to me. He said I couldn’t accept criticism. Today, we football players, if we allow ourselves to respond to things about us, we will be portrayed as if we are people who cannot stand criticism. ”
“but that’s not the case at all. Sometimes I want to say to them (the British media) that let me do well by myself, don’t focus so much on my facts, let them focus on other players, so I can focus on my game. Because there is always this kind of noise around me, there are such articles or other things. ”
“it certainly has something to do with my style of play and the fact that I play in one of the biggest clubs in the world. I also think this concern has been raised by the fees that Manchester City have paid to Aston Villa for me. But I still hope that they will shift their attention away from me and not pay too much attention to my performance. ”
What do you think is the difference between your tactical positioning at Aston Villa and that of Guardiola?
Geralish: “at Aston Villa, in theory I play on the left, but in the game itself, if I think it is necessary, I will take the initiative to change my position.” Obviously, for Guardiola, the situation is different. He told me that I could play freely on the pitch, but be organized and have a precise position on the pitch. Play under him, if you are on the left, then you stay on the left. But obviously you won’t complain because he is the best manager. I will listen to his arrangement. ”
About my pressure at Manchester City.
Gralish: “stress is a good thing, because if you feel it, it means people are interested in you.” For example, it doesn’t bother me when opposing fans mock me during the game. In the same way, I tried to get all those who have criticized me since I came to Manchester City wrong. I know I can play better than I do now. For now, people only see what I can do on this team. But in fact, I think I can do better and bring more to the team. ”
About the difficulty of integrating into Manchester City
Geralish: “at first I thought it would be easy, after all, it’s just football.” But in fact, I have to adapt to a new club, a new coach, a new group of teammates. I also have to incorporate what Guardiola expects of me into my game. So in fact, the process of integrating into Manchester City is not easy, but I have been trying to do well. ”
About your own goal data.
Geralish: “just looking at my statistics is the worst argument you can use.” As a winger, I have never scored a lot of goals in my career. In my last season at Aston Villa, I only scored six goals in the Premier League. Before that, I scored eight in the Premier League (2019-2020) and only six in the Champions League (2018-2019). So if Manchester City buy me, it’s not because of my statistics. ”
“I want to pile up on goals and assists, but I’m not that kind of player. I can provide other things for my team, such as attracting two or three opponents, which makes room for my teammates. Finally, if I try to create a lot of opportunities for my teammates, that’s good for me. ”
