Mahrez Not Scared Of Grealish Competition At Man City

By Daily sports on August 11, 2021

Algeria captain Riyad Mahrez has made it clear that he is embracing added competition for places at English Premier League champions Manchester City.

The experienced winger is competing with Phil Foden and the club’s new signing Jack Grealish for a place in Pep Guardiola’s starting line-up.

Grealish recently joined City from Aston Villa in a transfer deal worth £100 million, making him the most expensive English player ever, while Foden is among the best young attackers in the world.

Last season was arguably Mahrez’s best campaign with City as he played an important role in helping the team clinch the Premier League title and he is keen to keep his place in the team.

“I think I had good numbers last year, but I could’ve had more. But my performances were very good, so I was happy,” Mahrez said on Goal.

“The competition here has helped me a lot to improve my game. The manager as well. He is very demanding, he’s very into little details and he pushes you until the end.

“You have to be strong mentally to go higher and higher. You just have to work hard and play good every game and the manager decides,” he added.

“But if you play very good every game you have more of a chance to play.”

Mahrez scored 14 goals in 48 matches across all competitions for City last season and he also provided nine assists in the process.

The 30-year-old will be hoping to start for City when they begin their Premier League title defence with a clash with Tottenham Hotspur on August 15. (African Football)
