Rico Lewis has claimed that a teammate of his is “one of the funniest” at Manchester City.
Aside from Manchester City’s brilliance as a team, their team is also full of characters.
Erling Haaland comes straight to mind as a player with a lot of personality.
Even from his time at Borussia Dortmund, the £51 million man was known for how hilarious he was during interviews.
Haaland would often give one-word answers and make comical expressions after his responses.
The Norwegian international would often look serious after his short answers as well, adding to the hysterical awkwardness of the interview.
Rico Lewis says City have a player who’s “one of the funniest” at the club
Jack Grealish is another player who is renowned for having a huge personality, making him one of the most marketable players in the Premier League.
In a post-match interview with CBS Sports after the Champions League final, the Englishman famously quizzed Thierry Henry on whether he could take on Kyle Walker during his playing days.
As Henry confidently stated that he certainly could in his prime, it made for a moment that went viral.
Similarly, the way Grealish was chanting after City’s Champions League triumph was akin to that of a fan and made for a comical video on the club’s official YouTube channel.
It has always seemed like Grealish does not take himself too seriously as he is up for a laugh and a joke at all times.
Despite being one of City and England’s best players.
However, the list of hilarious characters in City is endless.
While playing a guessing game with Nathan Ake, Rico Lewis described John Stones as an extremely funny teammate.
During a video with the club’s official in-house media, Lewis said: “One of the funniest in the team!”
Ake rightly guessed: “John.”
It always helps to have a personality like Stones in the dressing room
The England international is associated with the viral video of his when he was dancing in the dressing room after Manchester City won the Premier League title in 2018.
It seems like apart from Rico Lewis, Nathan Ake also thinks John Stones is humorous as he found it easy to guess his name as the answer.
In a team that always have the pressure to succeed, it helps having a lively personality like Stones in the dressing room.
On days when Rico Lewis and his other Manchester City teammates are down after a disappointing result, the presence of a character like John Stones can help cheer them up.
Ultimately, the top teams are known to have the most positive atmosphere, which allows them to bounce back from setbacks to come back stronger.
The presence of personalities such as John Stones, who also perform on the pitch is massive and the likes of Rico Lewis and Nathan Ake must recognise that.
