Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish has said coach Josep Guardiola motivated the team ahead of the UEFA Super Cup match against Sevilla by showing how much he wants to win the trophy.
Manchester City won the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday for the first time, beating Sevilla on penalties (1-1 regular time, 5-4 on penalties).
– The feeling is incredible. In recent days, the coach has made it clear how much he wants to win this trophy. Of course, we always want to win, but this gave us an extra boost.
City have been very successful in the last 10 years. So many titles and cups have been won, but we missed European trophies. In June, we took the Champions League, and now we have added a new cup to the collection. This is important for the club and for me personally. I came here to win,” Grealish quotes Match TV, whose post-match flash interview was shown on the TV channel.
The Citizens have won their fourth trophy in the past few months after winning the English Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.

Former Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos He talked about his interaction with Brazilian striker Vinicius Junior and other representatives of Brazil within the scope of the “royal club”.
“The Brazilians aroused my sympathy even as a child. While playing for Real Madrid, I developed excellent relationships with Vinicius, Casemiro and Militao.
It is very easy to find a common language with these guys: they know how to enjoy life, and their mentality is significantly different from that of the Germans.
Casemiro and Vinicius and I understood each other perfectly on the field and developed a unique football bond with Vini.
We communicated warmly in daily life. I believe that if there is no contact between players off the field, it is extremely difficult to achieve harmony in the game.
I used Vini’s high-speed bursts effectively and he masterfully directed my passes,” AS Kroos reports.
Let’s remember that Kroos defended the jersey of Real Madrid from 2014 to 2024. During this decade the German midfielder won the Champions League five times.
