Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish was full of praise for manager Dean Smith, saying he loves playing under the new boss and has been working hard to take his advice on board. The English u21 international was struggling for consistency under Steve Bruce, but Smith made it clear that he was going to work with Grealish to get the best from him in games.
The new Villa boss wanted to see Grealish get among the goals and make more assists as he spends a lot of time in possession in the final third, and the 23-year-old says he’s adapting his game to do exactly that.
