Aston Villa midfielder Grealish: I know I need to do more off the ball for England | OneFootball

Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish admits he needs to improve his work off the ball with England.

Gareth Southgate was unhappy with some of the things he saw from England's attacking players during the 1-0 win over Romania on Sunday, spelling out to them at half-time that they needed to be doing more when not in possession.

"I can get better at it," said Grealish. "I spoke to the staff here and I seem to run more in games than I do at Aston Villa.

"When I first came into the camp I sat down with the manager for about an hour or so and asked what I could improve on to get into his side. I went away and worked on that. I still think it is one side of my game I can improve upon."

He added: "He didn't actually say to me, 'You need to go and run and get back and stuff'. But deep down I knew that was something I could work on.

"I've tried to do that as much as I can this season. I think I need to do it more and be more disciplined when I play more centrally."
