The optimism of the 1980s encapsulated in one picture. Taken at the 1984 world’s fair in New Orleans, the exposition was an immense failure, and was the only world expo to declare bankruptcy during its run. The only major highlight visitors had was NASA’s Enterprise space shuttle mock-up in front of the US Pavilion.

As many of the club's first-team players have jetted off to all corners of the globe in the past week during Manchester City's winter break, the club's £100 million man decided on Dubai as his destination for rest and recovery.

Grealish - who has been joined by Manchester City teammate Ruben Dias - recently attended the much-publicised Expo 2020 event in the UAE, where he answered questions from attending fans.

Speaking during the Q&A session, Jack Grealish was quizzed about his experience at the event held, as quoted by British Herald.

“It’s been unbelievable. I knew it was going to be good, but I feel like since I’ve come here, I’m gutted I didn’t tell my family members and my girlfriend to come”, Jack Grealish revealed.

“The UAE [Pavilion] with all the sand, as I’ve walked in, I didn’t realize that the [sand] was real because it was so flat. Then the guy says to come, ‘This is real, you know. You can pick it up.’"

Grealish closed, "So, I picked it up. The whole place is absolutely surreal and somewhere where I’d advise to come.”

The England international’s words are reflective of his positive outlook on things, which will go a long way at a club where ups and downs are a part of an extremely competitive environment.

While Jack Grealish may have his back to the wall at present, this strong sense of optimism could prove key in making him a superstar at Manchester City.

“ He concluded by saying that “the State of Israel is eager to walk with the UAE, and all the nations here at the expo towards a brighter, more sustainable and more peaceful tomorrow, for our nations, our region and the entire world.”

In response to the president’s remarks, UAE Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence His Excellency Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, commissioner-general of Expo 2020 Dubai, said how pleased he was that Israel joined the event.

“The participation of 192 countries is a testament to the UAE’s efforts to bring the world together into one unified platform in a bid to build bridges, engage in constructive dialogue and develop sustainable solutions to modern-day challenges,” Al Nahyan said. “We strongly believe that what unites humanity far outweighs what divides it.”

After leaving the expo, Herzog met with Ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

The World Expo is hosted every five years in a different country, in a location selected by a vote at the Bureau International des Expositions. The United Arab Emirates is the first Middle Eastern country to host the event.

Each country at the expo presents its own pavilion through which it shares select elements of its culture, history and progress, as well as its vision for the future. To date, more than 600,000 people have visited Israel’s pavilion, including local officials and heads of states and ministers from around the world.
