Jack Grealish is clear that to progress you have to learn from the best. So he did not hesitate to look at the way Cristiano Ronaldo played to improve, especially when the atmosphere on the field is stifling.
The Aston Villa footballer comments in an interview that it will be very strange to play behind closed doors without the public's encouragement, something that he will miss and that motivates him to perform better. “I love all of this (the atmosphere), I love it when people are behind me and scold me,” he explains in an interview on the Express.
Grealish learned this by watching it from Cristiano Ronaldo. “I always remember when he was a boy, and I'm not saying he's close to his level, but Cristiano Ronaldo used to come and play against Aston Villa with Manchester United and the fans always took it out on him. He got used to living from it and I also try to free myself from the hatred of the fans, ”he says.
To try to compensate for the lack of public, the Premier League is studying artificially reproducing the noise of the crowd: “For me there would be no problem, but if everything were decided in the end, I would leave the choice to my teammates. Nothing would change for me. “
The Premier works to return to action on June 17, when the two pending matches will be recovered: Manchester City-Arsenal and Aston Villa-Sheffield United. From the 19th, the dispute for the 30th day will proceed.
