Jack Grealish likes to feel the hate.
The Manchester City midfielder, 26, seems to attract all the wrong attention - both on and off the pitch - but insists it doesn’t bother him one bit. After a summer spent living a champagne lifestyle celebrating City’s title win in Ibiza and Las Vegas, he has reported back to duty at the Etihad with a physique that appears to be carved from marble.
Grealish worked himself hard away from the paparazzi cameras - and is ready to attack the new season with the conviction of a player who is driven by a desire to prove there’s substance behind his glamorous public image. Posting Instagram pictures of himself training in Santorini only prompted jibes from City team-mates who have otherwise become hugely protective of the England midfielder in the 12 months since he became the most expensive player in Britain.
