As the players of Manchester City recovered from their first preseason game, JACK GREALISH flaunted his chiseled physique while swimming in the pool.

The three-time defending champions were put in a precarious position as they fell behind Yokohoma F. Marinos of Japan 2-0 in the first half of their match.

At the Japan National team stadium in Tokyo, goal scorers John Stones and Julian Alvarez combined for a fast one-two just before the break to ensure that City would enter the break on even terms.

Erling Haaland, who came on as a substitute in the second half, scored twice in the second half to put the game out of anyone’s reach for City. As a result, City was able to cruise to an easy victory.

After the game, when Haaland was presented with a cheque for his man of the match performance, the spectators were amused since the payment was absurdly large.

When compared to Haaland’s weekly income of £400,000, the one million yen incentive was equivalent to just two pounds’ worth of pocket change.

Grealish got in four minutes of action as he and the rest of City’s international players worked to get match action under their belts before the start of the new season.

The winger ensured that he made the most of City’s time off after they won the Treble the previous season and led the club in their celebrations of their victory.

After winning the Champions League in Istanbul, the Manchester City players celebrated their victory by going out and enjoying the nightlife in Istanbul, Ibiza, and Manchester over the course of four consecutive days.

After that, Grealish joined the England squad and participated in their European Championship qualification match against North Macedonia, which England won 7-0.

The winger then jetted off for his own personal holidays over the summer – partying in Ibiza before beginning provisional pre-season work in Dubai.

Man City could be lining up with a revamped XI next season, with the likes of Kyle Walker and Riyad Mahrez linked with moves away from the Etihad.

Bayern Munich remain keen on Walker, although Pep has admitted he would like the full-back to stay.

Meanwhile Riyad Mahrez appears to be close to joining Saudi side Al-Ahli, with Michael Olise lined up as a replacement.
