Jack Grealish is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, and the Manchester City star is also a flamboyant character.
We all know that.
And, many of us appreciate that.
That is one of the things that we love about Jack Grealish.
The England international is very good on the pitch, and he loves living his life off it.
We all remember how Grealish celebrated Manchester City’s UEFA Champions League success last season.
Remember all those pictures on social media and in the newspapers?
The 28-year-old, who can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a winger, enjoyed the success of the team.
And, he enjoyed it in style.
Unapologetically.
Erling Haaland on Manchester City teammate Jack Grealish
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has now praised Grealish for celebrating the team’s success so publicly.
Haaland has expressed his admiration for Grealish.
In an interview with The Telegraph, the Norway international striker said: “People try and be perfect on Instagram or whatever but relax and have a bit of fun.
“It’s important to be yourself. Like Jack Grealish on the [Champions League] celebrations. How beautiful was that!
“If anyone wins the Champions League they are celebrating like that but he gets caught on camera, he’s a celebrity, famous but in the end everyone wants to be like that.
“We should not lose completely about being ourselves.”
My View: Jack Grealish is a character football needs
I think that Manchester City and England star Jack Grealish is a character that football needs.
Manchester City did something incredible last season.
The Citizens won the Premier League, the UEFA Champions League and the FA Cup all in one season.
Grealish celebrated the success the way every footballer in his position should have.
He is not a boring character, and that is what makes Grealish so special.
Grealish with the ball at his feet is a joy to watch.
And, the £300,000-a-week (Spotrac) is entitled to having fun off it as well.
After all, Grealish is only 28 now.
Grealish has made 154 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
The England international attacker has scored 23 goals and given 27 assists in those games.
