Erling Haaland (24) hat sich mit Manchester City auf den Weg zur Klub-WM in den USA gemacht. Einen Teamkollegen vermisst er dabei schmerzlich: Jack Grealish (29)!
Der Super-Stürmer postet in seiner Snapchat-Story ein Foto von sich aus dem Flugzeug. Er trägt ein T-Shirt der „Cityzens“ und Kopfhörer. Neben ihm ist ein freier Platz zu sehen, worauf sich nur einige Kartons stapeln. Dazu schreibt Haaland: „Jack Grealish, wo bist du?“. Das ganze versieht er noch mit einem traurigen Katzen-Emoji.
Jack Grealish (29, l.) und Erling Haaland (24) standen jahrelang gemeinsam für Manchester City auf dem Platz. Grealish soll den Klub allerdings verlassen
<!–>
Hintergrund: City-Trainer Pep Guardiola (54) hat Grealish nicht in seinen Kader für die Klub-WM berufen. Ein deutliches Signal, dass sich der Engländer (Vertrag bis 2027) einen neuen Verein suchen soll.
[–>Dies hatte sich in den letzten Wochen bereits abgezeichnet. Guardiola machte seinem einstigen 117 Mio. teuren Offensivspieler klar, dass er wohl keine Zukunft mehr im Verein habe. Zum Beispiel ließ er Grealish im FA-Cup-Finale gegen Crystal Palace (1:2) 90 Minuten lang auf der Bank schmoren. Im letzten Premier-League-Spiel der Saison gegen Fulham stand er nicht einmal im Kader. In der vergangenen Saison kam Grealish nur noch auf 20 Liga-Einsätze, erzielte dabei nur ein einziges Törchen.
Nicht bei Klub-WM dabei: Grealish genießt Urlaub
Kurioserweise beantwortet Grealish Haalands Frage augenscheinlich auf seinem Instagram-Account. In einer Story postet er ein Video aus dem Urlaub – er sitzt am Meer und genießt die Aussicht. Dazu schreibt er: „Friedlich“.
<!–>
Haaland und Grealish verbindet zudem eine enge Freundschaft. Seitdem der Norweger 2022 vom BVB zu Manchester gewechselt ist, spielen die beiden zusammen. Und finden auch immer wieder warme Worte für einander.
Grealish sagte einst über seinen Kumpel: „Schau dir Erling an. Er ist der beste Profi, den ich je gesehen habe. Wir haben eine großartige Freundschaft, aber er zeigt nach einem Spiel auf mich und sagt: ‚Hey, geh heute Abend nicht feiern‘.“ Auch Haaland drückte in der Vergangenheit seine „Liebe“ für Grealish aus.
„Wir sind die Besten!“: Was sagen Bayern-Fans zu diesem Sané-Video?
Wie es für Grealish weitergeht, ist noch unklar. Wie die „Sun“ berichtet, soll Newcastle United Interesse zeigen. Eine Leihe soll aber wegen seines Mega-Gehalts am wahrscheinlichsten sein.
Manchester City startet dagegen am Mittwoch (18 Uhr) gegen den Wydad AC aus Marokko in die Klub-WM.

21st Century World Series Champions, Ranked: 2009 Yankees Are No. 4
Among the 25 World Series champions since 2000, how did the 2009 Yankees land in this spot? From the point of view of the Yankees, 2009 was a long time coming. New York had last won a World Series in 2000, and had lost in both 2001 and 2003 — there was also that whole letting the Red Sox come back from down 3-0 in the 2004 American League Championship Series thing to contend with. For most teams, a nine-year wait isn’t significant, especially not for a franchise that was constantly in the thick of things in the intervening years. For the Yankees, though, after racking up championships in 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000, nine years felt like an eternity, especially with the rival Red Sox winning in 2004 and 2007 in between. The 2009 season put a stop to the waiting, […]
21st Century World Series Champions, Ranked: 2007 Red Sox Are No. 5
Among the 25 World Series champions since 2000, how did the 2007 Red Sox land in this spot? It took two years for the mega-trade that brought Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell to the Red Sox to pay off as hoped, but it’s difficult to argue with the results once it finally did. Acquired in November of 2005, Beckett was expected to be the replacement for Pedro Martinez in the Boston rotation that never surfaced that summer, but instead he posted a 5.01 ERA in 2006, leaving Curt Schilling as the lone ace on the squad again. In 2007, though, Beckett was exactly what the Red Sox wanted: he led AL pitchers in wins above replacement, ranked first in the majors in wins with 20 and posted a 3.27 ERA over 200 innings. Lowell was actually his usual quality self in […]
21st Century World Series Champions, Ranked: 2020 Dodgers Are No. 6
Among the 25 World Series champions since 2000, how did the 2020 Dodgers land in this spot? The Dodgers, save Mookie Betts, were not a team full of stars having star-caliber seasons. Betts led the majors in wins above replacement, putting up nearly four of them in just 60 games in an absurd display at the plate and in the field. Other than that, what the Dodgers won with was volume. Justin Turner did not have his very best season. Corey Seager has had better ones, too. It didn’t matter, because almost every regular was firing on more than enough cylinders to propel Los Angeles to the best winning percentage of any World Series winner of the century. Betts wasn’t actually the Dodgers’ best hitter in 2020: that was catcher Will Smith, who hit .289/.401/.579 in 37 games. Smith finished one […]
21st Century World Series Champions, Ranked: 2002 Angels Are No. 7
Among the 25 World Series champions since 2000, how did the 2002 Angels land in this spot? It’s easy to dismiss the excellence of the 2002 Angels based on their top two players. Darin Erstad hit just .283/.313/.389 at a time when the "Moneyball" Athletics were praised for a focus on on-base percentage. David Eckstein, all 5-foot-6 of him, hit just 8 homers in 2002: 26 players hit at least 30 that season, including Angels’ leader Troy Glaus. Power and patience were the rules of the day, but the Angels were built differently. Erstad was not an offensive force: he was merely a superhuman-level defender in center, while offense was in the midst of its historic peak. Per Baseball Reference’s accounting, Erstad was worth 6.3 wins above replacement, the most on the Angels — his 4.2 defensive WAR represent the 12th-most ever. […]

21st Century World Series Champions, Ranked: 2013 Red Sox Are No. 8
Among the 25 World Series champions since 2000, how did the 2013 Red Sox land in this spot? The 2013 Red Sox were Ben Cherington’s first team as general manager. Not in the sense of it was the first year that he was Boston’s GM, but in that he had full control over who would even be part of the roster. The massive disappointments and payroll of 2011 and 2012, leftover from the Theo Epstein era, were no more once Cherington shipped a quarter-billion in future contracts to the Dodgers in August of 2012, freeing him up to bring in Mike Napoli, Stephen Drew, Ryan Dempster, Shane Victorino, Koji Uehara, David Ross and Jonny Gomes. All of them save Dempster performed at the high-end of expectations: when paired with Dustin Pedroia doing his usual excellent combination of high-on-base offense and even […]
