Guardiola says axed Grealish needs to get 'butterflies back in his stomach'
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola suggested Tuesday that the dropped Jack Grealish needed to rediscover his love for playing football after being left out of the squad for the Club World Cup in the United States. "Jack is an exceptional player. The only reason he didn't play last season was of course my decisions," Guardiola told reporters in Philadelphia, where City will play Wydad Casablanca in their opening game on Wednesday, without the England international winger. Advertisement "We decided it was best that he stays and has a place where he can get back to what he was in the year of the treble or all his career at Aston Villa." Grealish joined City in 2021 and was a standout on their run to Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup glory in 2023. However, he started only 10 Premier League games in the following season and only 16 times across all competitions in this campaign. "Without him it would have been more difficult to achieve what we did in the treble season, but the fact is that the last two seasons he has not played much minutes," Guardiola added. "He has to get back to playing and having the butterflies in his stomach that he needs to play every three days." Advertisement However, the former Barcelona coach appeared to suggest that the player's future did not necessarily lie away from the Etihad Stadium. "No, no. I don't know, but for now we decided don't come here," he said. City, who finished third in the Premier League, added four new signings in the recent transfer window to freshen up their squad for the Club World Cup. They brought in Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, exciting French creator Rayan Cherki, left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri and back-up goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli. "We are really pleased because all of them have huge quality," Guardiola said. Advertisement "With this incredible amount of games we have until the end of the season, 11 months, every three or four days, everyone is going to play." - Time to turn the page - The last season was one of the hardest of Guardiola's coaching career and he sees the Club World Cup as the first tournament of the new campaign, and therefore a chance to turn the page. "It is the beginning of the season. In sport, what happened in the past, good or bad, is forgotten so we feel like we are starting the season," he said. City are expected to ease through to the last 16 from Group G, in which they will also meet Al Ain of the United Arab Emirates and Italian giants Juventus. Advertisement First up at Lincoln Financial Field is Morocco's Wydad, a leading name in North African football who qualified for the Club World Cup as a recent winner of the CAF Champions League. "Football has grown up a lot all around the world. All these teams have individual quality," said Guardiola, refusing to take Wednesday's opponents lightly. "A good example is Riyad Mahrez from Algeria, Oh my God, what a player. They have incredible players. "We have huge, huge respect. We saw what we could see of them. We have a game plan, we are here to make a good tournament and tomorrow we start." as/rcw

Mbappe a doubt for Real's Club World Cup opener
Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso is waiting on the fitness of Kylian Mbappe for his team's Club World Cup opener against Al Hilal. (Thomas COEX) Real Madrid could be without striker Kylian Mbappe for their Club World Cup opener against Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal after the Frenchman missed training due to illness. New head coach Xabi Alonso will make his debut on the Real bench for the Group H match at Hard Rock Stadium and could be without several regulars. Advertisement Defender Antonio Rudiger and the versatile Eduardo Camavinga are also likely to miss out against the Saudi team. "Kylian was feeling a little better this morning, but not enough. It's very hot and it was better that he didn't train. But we will wait until the last moment. Tomorrow morning we will decide," said Alonso. "Rudiger made a brutal effort this season and I don't know if he will be called up tomorrow, but he is progressing well and will be the first to return. Camavinga is also improving quickly, but he needs time," he added. Al Hilal will also have a new coach on the bench with Italian Simone Inzaghi having joined after leading Inter Milan to the Champions League final. Advertisement Alonso said the change of coach means that it is difficult to know what to expect from Wednesday's opponents. "We have to prepare for the game in the best possible way. They will be a tough opponent, without a doubt. But it's time to focus on ourselves. They haven't made their debut with Inzaghi yet, so we don't know how they will play. "We have to have hunger to win, to compete, to want to play well. We have to mix a lot of things, but that self-love, that feeling of team, that defending the badge… The team already has it, but we have to work on it. We must be a team," he said. Alonso was asked about the right-back position where Dani Carvajal faces competition from new arrival Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has joined from Liverpool. Advertisement "It is a privilege to have such top players. Trent is more flexible in positions, but Carva has a lot of personality and competitiveness. The initial impact of Trent has been very good." Alonso was quizzed for his opinions on several players and unsurprisingly was upbeat about his squad, suggesting that England's Jude Bellingham may be more effective in a central midfield role than in the more advanced position he has sometimes operated in. "Jude has the ability to cover a lot of the pitch. He has the soul of a midfielder, he likes to participate, but he has the great quality to arrive. The important thing is the starting point. Finding him in the right places is going to help us because he has impressive qualities," he said. Alonso will get a brief spell to enjoy working with Croatian midfielder Luka Modric before the 39-year-old leaves the club. Advertisement "It's easy with him. We always had a great relationship, friends and now coach-player. I like his relationship with the younger ones, he is a very good influence. We want to enjoy him in these weeks. He's a player of the era, being able to squeeze him a little more will be a luxury," he said. sev/rcw
