I Was Tired Of Grealish Trying To Shine At My Expense – Stephen O’Donnell

Scotland player, Stephen O’Donnell has come out to share how he managed to wind up Jack Grealish during their match at Euro 2020. Steph recently revealed that he simply told the Aston Villa midfielder that he loves his calves.

According to him, he was completely fed up with how Grealish was trying to impress at his expense, so he had to piss him off.

He added that John McGinn deserves a thank you for giving him tips on the right way to go about things.

His words, “I was just getting a wee bit fed up at that stage of the game, he’d just come on, he was nice and fresh.”

“Normally when the fresh wingers come on that’s when you’re a bit tired so I thought: ‘I just need to hit him here’, because I was getting fed up of him trying to take the mick out of me so I gave him a wee hit.”

“Thankfully John McGinn had given me some tips, he said if he comes on you need to be nibbling in his ear but don’t be critical, be complimentary.”

“So the full time he was on I was telling him how good looking he was and I love his calves and asking him how he got his hair to look like that.”

“[McGinn] said if you tell him he’s hopeless or kick him really, really hard, he gets up and gives it back at you. Maybe that was the advantage over Jack Grealish the other night.”
