Man City’s Jack Grealish Praises Curtis Jones After Stellar England Display
Manchester City star Jack Grealish has heaped praise on Liverpool’s Curtis Jones following his dazzling performance for England in their 3-0 victory over Greece in the UEFA Nations League.
The match saw Jones shine on his first senior start for the Three Lions, capped off by a stunning backheeled goal late in the game. Deployed alongside Jude Bellingham and Conor Gallagher in midfield, Jones’ creativity and composure were on full display.
Taking to Instagram, Grealish applauded the performance, writing, “Well done boys! Top performance and especially @curtis_jr, what a player.”
Speaking to ITV Sport after the game, Jones shared his thoughts on the memorable night:
“I just went out there and I was playing free and I had a smile on my face. I was enjoying it and I’m happy I came away with a goal as well.”
Jones highlighted the trust and support of his teammates in enabling his performance:
“When you’ve got a team like ours, I can go high, I can come low, and I can get on the ball and play. There’s lads there to help, and there’s also lads who said I can go [forward] as well. Jude [Bellingham] stayed back, so I saw I had a chance to go, and lucky enough I scored.”
With another game against Ireland coming up, Jones will be hoping to build on his brilliant debut and cement his place in England’s midfield setup.
