He has since credited his experience of playing the physically demanding Irish sport with toughening him up for senior football. 

Grealish later said I was playing above my age but struggled physically but getting kicked around at Gaelic getting shoulder-barged helped. 

Professional carrier

After playing for the Notts county's Grealish was given his first taste of premier league action with a  two-minute cameo against manchester city. 

Starting the final seven games of the campaign and playing a starring role in the size 2-1 win over Liverpool in the FA cup semi-finals.

After switching from Ireland to England's u21 team, in 2016 he helped his team to win the prestigious Toulon tournament.

From 2016-17 Grealish became increasingly essential to the way villa played and largely stayed out of the tabloid front pages and his mental resilience was there for all to see in march 2019. 

After the tournament he continues to shine as a winger, attacking, and midfielder for Aston Villa.

After his improvement, he got rewarded to become a first-team player and then later as a captain. under jack leadership, his team made a club-record 10 league wins in a row

Jack choosing England over Ireland

Jack caught into criticism when he plays for Ireland and now choosing England

When he was 15 he got asked to play for England and  Ireland. at a tournament and he got asked to play for both and then he went away with England he collapsed the day before it was meant to be training and he got sent home.  

Then during that time, he went to Ireland to trial there and he played he say he just loved it and that's one thing that he always says.

 
 "When you're younger you just  do what you know makes you happy"  

He loved every obvious moment that he had there just a young kid enjoying his football. He started playing at a villa in the first team he broke through and there was a time where he thought.  

 "I'm English you know my  parents were born in England I was  obviously born in English I feel English  and changed to England I've never looked  back"

 He enjoyed every moment that he had here.  

Jack Grealish link to manchester city

In 2016 they were dropping more points than they were collecting but in the midst of all that Grealish kept his performance levels high and notched eight goals and provided six assists to guide his team away from relegation on the final day of the season.

In the same season, the talented attacker guided his team to the final of the EFL  Cup where they lost 2-1 to man city. 

Pep Guardiola isn't an easy man to impress after this match he became a big fan of villa players. Grealish's talents and even called him one of the best players in the premier league.

Indeed Guardiola wanted to sign Grealish at one point but the player was deemed too expensive by the club rather than let those compliments get to his head and drift his mind elsewhere Grealish has taken his game to an even higher level.

Super creative a world-class ball carrier a master at winning set pieces and able to play on the left are in the center  Grealish would be an excellent fit in pep Guardiola's fluid forward line which featured eight different players last term.

According to the report, manchester city will not be signing Harry Kane if they are successful in signing Jack Grealish from Aston Villa.

Jack Grealish moved to Manchester city

Now it is potentially the biggest deal ever for an English player. Aston Villa to accept manchester city's 100 million pound bid for Jack Grealish.

we've been told the city made their initial approach several days ago villa don't want to sell Grealish and they've offered him a new and improved contract. 

He still has four years left on his existing deal which was signed in September well this graphic here shows just how difficult defenders find it to deal with Grealish.

In last season's premier league alone he was fouled 110 times that's more than any other player and that's despite missing more than three months of the season through injury.

How jack Grealish play

So this isn't surprising that Grealish averages 5.5 progressive runs per game last season he was the most fouled player in Europe's top five leagues suffering 165 fouls.

His ability to control the ball quickly and find a way around an opponent with quick thinking and dribbling results in Grealish getting fouled quite a lot. 

Four games are in the new premier league campaign,n and Grealish is already an accomplished passer. 

He boasts a passing accuracy of 84.8  percent and quite amazingly has managed to complete all through passes he's tried boasts an expected assist rate of  1.83  which is remarkable.

Grealish Statistics

While an 80 accuracy of passes to the final third means that Grealish is one of the deadliest playmakers in England at the moment. 

With a forward pass accuracy of around  81 percent, Grealish is a potent playmaker who's constantly looking for the right opportunities to launch attacks. if there is no great option in sight Grealish has the ability to take on an opponent and create something out of nothing.

When it comes to the attacking side of things is truly remarkable he averages 0.74 goals every game and  0.56 assists. when it comes to dribbling Grealish has definitely improved a lot 9.8 dribbles per 90 minutes and wins round 60 of the offensive duels.

Moreover, Grealish seems to have become more confident when inside the penalty area averaging 8.55 touches per game. Grealish took his game to a new level ranking joint top of the league along with KDB on 0.86. 

Southgate on Grealish selection

Southgate has faced quite a lot of criticism over his decision where he decided to start with mason mount since the Chelsea man offered more defensive qualities than the villa captain.

Grealish had been selected we're certain that the three lions would have been able to express themselves more on the pitch. Indeed man city star Kevin De Bruyne is a big fan of Grealish and believes that he's the solution to England's creative problems. 

"in England, they talked about creative problems in midfield but he brings that to a team he deserves a shot". 

But for one reason or another Grealish continues to be overlooked by Southgate nonetheless we're certain that this is not going to impact the player's performances on the pitch and he would continue delivering for both club and country.

Jack Grealish charity

He has carried his brother's memory with him in his professional career dedicating landmark goals to him over the years and has also continued the charitable and community-driven tradition that exists in his family.

He donated a villa shirt from that season's FA Cup final as they raised money for a sudden infant death charity following the tragic passing of jack's baby brother Keelan. 

The club donating two thousand pounds to the funeral of a teenage Aston villa fan in 2020  raising 55,000 pounds for the NHS in the early weeks of the global pandemic as well as being a longtime supporter of the Birmingham children's hospital.

Although he hasn't been the perfect role model during this time breaking covert guidelines and crashing his car last year, an incident saw him find 150 000  pounds.

By the club issue, a personal apology on Twitter, and eventually receive a driving ban Grealish still seems far more well-liked and respected by the wider football community than he once was. 

Grealish donated $ 2,00,000 to the Birmingham children's hospital and during the covid lockdown crisis, he helped raise a further 70000 $ by auctioning one of his match-worn Aston villa shirts.

In his house they were  Aston villa fans for generations as soon as he could Kevin took his kids to villa park he went to support his team on several occasions.

Over the year's jack established himself as a role model for younger players he stood out for his explosiveness and his ability to eliminate defenders but what really made him stand out is what he could do with his first touch of the ball.

When he came from Notts county he wasn't the same kid as he used to be everything seemed to be coming together perfectly the more he played the better he got.


In life jack has fought to make it after his little brother's death he dedicated his life to football he's worked non-stop to honor his memory and in the end, his sacrifices and efforts have ended up paying off.
