Manchester City win 0: 4 win over Newcastle (Sport 1)

In England, preparations are being made for the festive Christmas cycle tomorrow (Sunday), in the shadow of the Omicron rampage and the postponement of three games from the cycle due to a plague of people infected with corona among the teams. Whoever will play, is the champion Manchester City who will host Leicester City (17:00, Sport2). Ahead of the game, Jack Grillish was interviewed by Sky and summed up the season opener for him, this after becoming the first English player ever to pass the £ 100 million price tag when he moved from Aston Villa to Pep Guardiola's club this summer.

Grillish's season opener has seen steep rises.

The player has scored two goals so far and cooked twice, when in the last league game against Newcastle he did not play after being seen leaving a nightclub along with team-mate Phil Foden at the end of the 0-7 win over Leeds in the previous round.

"I think I'm pretty fine so far," Grilish said referring to his ability since joining City.

"But I have so much more to give. This transition is much harder than I thought it would be. I'm still learning to adapt to the situation. I want to conquer and cook a lot more in 2022."

The 26-year-old commented on the difficulties: "The standards here are insane, on and off the pitch. And it's inconceivable, but it explains perfectly how the club has been so successful over the years."

On the price tag: "The fact that they paid me £ 100 million makes people constantly wonder if you'm worth the money.

'Where are the gates?', 'Where are the cooks?'

I understand that.

I think it is a privilege that the club has chosen to spend such a sum on me and I hope I can repay him with goals and titles. "

Grilish, who played in the Champions League for the first time this season, also commented on this:" It is so different from the Premier League.

I used to play in factories in Europe, and I really wanted to play in the Champions League.

It's an amazing feeling to hear the Champions League anthem, it made me tweak myself.

This is the title that all footballers dream of winning. "
