Jack Grealish doesn't have the numbers. But he has had an excellent season. willfordy25 looks beyond the stats and mainly just wants to write about Gianfranco Zola.
There will be some who argue that Pep Guardiola has turned the mercurial likely lad from Birmingham into a mere cog in his Manchester City machine, using him to draw defenders and win free-kicks rather than as a dribbling menace who shoots from weird angles and attempts the outrageous to earn oohs and aahs from the crowd. It’s a fair point.
Nutmegs have been few and far between and collecting the ball on the touchline before cutting back and passing to a midfielder is now Grealish 101, but the boy remains beneath the somewhat robotic surface. “I played so crap today,” he said, struggling to hold back the tears after the Champions League final, preparing for a celebration binge the likes of which many of his Kombucha-drinking teammates will never have seen.
He did more than that though. 78 goals and 24 assists in 310 appearances for Chelsea tells a fraction of the story and is the perfect example of how the fascination with goal contributions can cloud the mind from what really matters. Zola had the ball on a piece of string, with his low centre of gravity and nimble feet allowing him to escape the clutches of the defenders who swarmed him.
