England midfielder, Jack Grealish has come out to say that he was happy to make his first competitive start for England vs Belgium on Sunday.
Grealish recently revealed that he actually watched clips of Kevin De Bruyne and Philippe Coutinho to get himself fired up for the clash.
According to him, playing for his country is what he has been waiting for all his life because he grew up with the dream to wear his nation’s jersey.
He added that he is currently working on getting the required chemistry with the team-mates for more improved performances in the national team.
His words, “I absolutely loved it. This is what I have been waiting for, these are the games I have dreamed of. I have grew up all life wanting to play for England.
“We wanted to win tonight though so I am devastated we didn’t get the win. I knew this was my chance to impress. These are the things I love, the pressure of wanting to do well.
“The last 24 hours I have been watching clips of my favourite players. I do that every game. I have been buzzing. I watch clips of Kevin De Bruyne, Philippe Coutinho – loads of players in my positions. I did it as a little kid and still do it today, that’s what gets me going.”
“The most difficult thing is trying to get the chemistry with the team-mates,”
“When you come here you only have 10 days to build that. It just clicks with some players though. The manager has been brilliant with me. There are world class players in my position.”
