The Brazilian joined from Girona in the summer for around \u00a330m and provided both assists for Haaland&#8217;s brace against the Irons.<\/p>\n<p>And manager Guardiola did not hold back when explaining why Savinho is starting over Grealish.<\/p>\n<p>He said:\u00a0&#8220;Savinho is in better shape and everything than Jack, and that&#8217;s why I played Savinho.<\/p>\n<h2>Pep Guardiola Wants The Old Jack Grealish Back<\/h2>\n<p>The City boss then stated his desire to see the same Jack Grealish who helped his side to a historic treble two seasons ago.<\/p>\n<p>Guardiola added: &#8220;Do I want the Jack that won the Treble? Yeah I want it, but I try to be honest with myself for that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They have to fight. You can say it&#8217;s unfair.
