Manchester City star heaps praises on Erling Haaland for his professionalism
Jack Grealish has heaped praise on his Manchester City teammate Erling Haaland, hailing the striker for his professional attitude. In an interview with the Daily Mail, the Englishman said:
"He is the best professional I have ever seen. His mindset is something you won't see again. He does everything. Recovers. In the gym. Ten hours of treatment a day. Ice baths. Diet. That's why he is what he is. But I swear I couldn't be like that. I am not as successful as him. He has scored more goals this season than I have in my whole career. But if he did what I occasionally did he would be like: 'F****** hell I feel terrible today'."
Shedding light on the friendship the two have, Grealish stated:
"We have a great friendship but he will point at me after a game and say: 'Hey. Don't you go out tonight partying'. I just tell him to shut up and go and sit in his ice bath. But that's us. Two different people doing well in our own way."
Erling Haaland has been phenomenal since joining Manchester City in the summer from Borussia Dortmund. The Norwegian has taken the Cityzens to the next level and could lead the side to a treble.
Haaland's arrival has also brought the most out of Grealish, who endured a difficult debut season at the Etihad last time out.
The Englishman has scored scored five goals and provided 11 assists in 45 games across competitions this season.
