Celebrity chef, Aldo Zilli, has told Sky Sports News (10/07/21 at 4:25 pm) that Aston Villa’s, Jack Grealish, is ‘very much loved’ by the people of Italy.
The Villa playmaker will be hoping to earn a start as England prepare for the biggest game of their lives at Wembley on Sunday evening.
Italy stands in their way of becoming Euro 2020 champions and winning their first major trophy in 55 years.
Grealish is a player who has had game-changing impacts during the small amount of time the Villa playmaker has been on the pitch.
And whilst for some, it hasn’t been enough, this is what Chef, Zilli, had to say about Grealish and the perception of the Villa man in Italy.
“The thing is he has that flair,” said Zilli. “I like the way he plays football. He’s very much loved by the Italian’s.
“And he’s not played as much. So, I am just wondering if he’s going to start against us because that would be a bit of a worry for us.
“He is such a great player and when he has the ball, it’s hard to get it off him. I don’t like that.”
More than likely, Grealish won’t be starting tonight and the fact that he has only started one game during this tournament is proof of that.
He came off the bench during England’s nail-biting extra-time win against Denmark, but was subbed despite being a substitute, which sparked a reaction.
But as he proved against the German’s, hand him the keys and he can unlock any defence in the world.
If need be, the England fans will be well aware that they have his qualities from the bench to turn things around.
