Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish says he's improved since his summer arrival from Aston Villa.
The England star admits that it has been harder than he first imagined and that he had to step out of his comfort zone at times, but feels his game is improving all the time under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola and training alongside the world class talent City have within the squad.
“Yeah, It's been good and I've enjoyed it," said Grealish.
“It's been a lot more difficult than I thought it would be in terms of on the pitch and off the pitch, moving to a new city and so on.
“It's been different, but I knew that it was going to be like that. I knew that it was going to be me stepping out of my comfort zone, but I've enjoyed it.
“I think that's what life's all about — experiencing different things — and I've certainly done that."
Grealish says Guardiola's influence on him and his team-mates cannot be understated.
Working under the Catalan was a big draw for the former Aston Villa star and he has relished every minute so far.
“He's unbelievable - an unbelievable coach," said Grealish.
"He just loves football. As soon as he steps foot in the building, everything's just about football and everything's just for the next game.
“I can't speak highly enough of him. He's a brilliant manager who helps the team so much.
“I've said at times this season he's won games by himself, with the way he's set us up and the tactics he's given us, and we've gone out there and done the job.
“As for training with my team-mates, obviously, it's been unbelievable.
“I think everyone in the dressing room, apart from two of the lads who have retired from playing for their country, are internationals.
“So, I think that just speaks for itself, how much talent is in the dressing room."
