'It's a bit disrespectful': Jack Grealish impressed by Erling Haaland's daily regime at Man City
Jack Grealish suggests his Manchester City team-mate Erling Haaland is not getting the respect he deserves.
The Norwegian scored 27 goals in the league. City He won his fourth consecutive Premier League title.
Haaland was unable to replicate his record-breaking first season at the club, where he recorded an incredible 36 goals in 35 league games.
His exploits earned him the Premier League Player of the Season award and led City to a historic treble.
However, the aura surrounding the 23-year-old has changed somewhat this season coinciding with a two-month mid-season break.
His return to action was greeted with review by Roy Keane who compared the striker's attributes to those of a League Two player following his performance against Arsenal in March.
Despite scoring seven goals in City's last five league games during the title race, Haaland failed to prevail in the Champions League double-header against real Madrid last month.
But Grealish jumped to his team-mate's defense and brought Haaland's impeccable work ethic to light.
“I've said many times before that he's an incredible man, he's just a killer,” Grealish said in an exclusive interview with talkSPORT. “This season he has scored 27 goals in the League. He's a little disrespectful, it's like he's no good.
“It's incredible, it's there every time the ball is in the area. I can't say enough about him. I get along very well with him, he's a brilliant guy, it's very good to have him around.

“I don't think I've ever seen anyone with his work ethic. The things he does on a daily basis, whether it's to help you sleep or recover… I've never seen anything like it.
“To me, that shows why it's so successful.”
Grealish and Haaland have their eyes on a domestic double this weekend when Manchester City take on their neighbors manchester united in the FA Cup final.
In a repeat of last year's final, when City beat Erik ten Hag's side 2-1, a victory will allow Grealish to claim his eighth trophy in just three years at the club.
