Jack Grealish Shines in Belgium

Standing Out

Jack Grealish was the stand out player for England in their 2-0 loss to Belgium on Sunday evening and the clips below give an insight into why he is drawing praise from all quarters of the football world for his display. Manager Gareth Southgate was full of praise for the Aston Villa captain following the game “Today was a great game for us to see him in. I couldn't speak highly enough of his performance. I thought Jack Grealish had an absolutely outstanding game. Losing Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford, we lose a lot of speed. But I can't fault the attacking play until the last chance. I saw what I knew I would see from Jack, someone with the bravery to play. He took the ball in tight areas, his technique was good, we knew he would buy a lot of free-kicks. I thought he was outstanding - he should be delighted. I explained to him what we wanted to see when we brought him in in September”.
