Yves Bissouma has said that Manchester City technician Jack Grealish is one of the two most difficult players he has faced in his career.
In an interview with Kick Game, the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder had his say on the two-time Premier League winner.
Yves Bissouma showered Jack Grealish with praise because how much of a challenge it has been to come up against him in the past.
Yves Bissouma says Jack Grealish is one of the two toughest players he has ever faced
Branded as ‘phenomenal’ by Stephen Clemence, the England international redeemed himself in sky blue last season.
The 27-year-old emerged as one of City’s best players during their treble-winning campaign and even on Sunday, he was arguably the standout performer on the pitch during the Manchester Derby.
Now, Yves Bissouma has given an insight into what it is like to lock horns with Jack Grealish.
“He’s a good guy, he’s really good. Trying to know what’s happening and trying to check on everyone. I think he can be a good captain in the future as well but as a player, I love him. Do you know what? When I was at Brighton, there was only two players making me crazy when I was playing against.”
“First one was Madders [James Maddison], second was Grealish. Now I’m playing with Madders, I’m so happy to have him on my team.”
Jack Grealish is far too scrutinised
For those that relentlessly slate Jack Grealish, one of the Premier League’s best midfielders in Yves Bissouma has admitted how much of a tall task it was to go toe-to-toe with him.
Ever since his time at Aston Villa, the Englishman has been a top player.
At Manchester City, despite not being a touchline winger, Jack Grealish has adapted to Pep Guardiola’s demands and come up trumps as a vital cog in his system.
Often, it seems like Grealish’s critics simply fail to understand his role at City, despite him being incredibly consistent and having adapted his game in commendable fashion.
