Manchester City winger Jack Grealish poked fun at England teammate James Maddison on Instagram. He hilariously compared Maddison to the famous crocodile hunter Steve Irwin based on his outfit.
James Maddison scored 14 goals and had 12 assists for Leicester City last season. However, that did not prove enough to ensure an England callup for the ongoing UEFA Nations League fixtures. Resultantly, Maddison had a lengthy break during which he seemed to be enjoying his time. The midfielder posted an Instagram picture in which he wore a unique outfit.
Grealish likened Maddison's outfit to that of the late Australian television personality and environmentalist Steve Irwin. The winger's comments poking fun at Maddison have since garnered more than 4500 likes on Instagram.
Grealish was not the only player to make fun of Maddison. His former Coventry City teammate Chris Stokes also echoed Jack Grealish's opinion.
Grealish wrote:
“Naaaaa man said Steve Irwin.”
Chris Stokes commented:
"Steve Irwin vibes yeh 🐊"
Manchester City’s Jack Grealish will be keen to have a strong World Cup with England
Jack Grealish hasn’t had the easiest of times since joining Manchester City in a £100 million move last summer. The winger had a slow start to his City career, scoring only six goals and giving four assists in 39 appearances across all competitions. Grealish was given 22 Premier League starts this season and was not included in any important Champions League fixtures as well.
He only played 42 minutes against Real Madrid in the semi-final second leg but high expectations mean that he will be determined to do better next term.
England have a strong squad for the upcoming World Cup and are among the favorites to lift the trophy. Grealish will be determined to be an integral player amongst strong competition for places.
Regardless, the former Aston Villa man has all the skills and the talent to succeed in the coming time. His ability to pick out passes and produce goals out of nothing is second to none and at 26, there is still a lot of scope for improvement.
A strong World Cup will not only ensure that his disappointing club season is forgotten, but will also help him make his own spot at Manchester City.
