Grealish was controversially eliminated from the Euro 2024 final entry under Gareth Southgate. He started in both A-match series last month after acting coach Lee Kasley took the helm. Grealish was also included in England's national team in October. England will play the third and fourth matches of the UEFA Nations League in 2024-2025 season against Greece on the 11th (Korea time) and Finland on the 14th.
Grealish expressed his feelings on the 9th. "To be honest, I don't agree with you," he said, harming his exclusion from Euro 2024.
Grealish also did not have the best season " (in Manchester City)While acknowledging that "all positions need balance, and in my case, I can be classified as an experienced player." So it was even more of a shock, and I didn't like watching the game itself. It was probably the hardest time of my life, I confessed.
And "I've gained a lot so far, and I've asked "Should I have gone?" I asked 'Yes.' I still think I had to go, but apparently it wasn't meant to be."

Grealish is satisfied at last. He thanked the coach, "Kasley, for giving me the opportunity, for trusting me. It certainly means a lot. I felt that the director really valued me highly, and no matter how much I complimented him, I think he was really helpful when he played for the director. I wanted to come here and train well and play well," he stressed.
Grealish moved from Aston Villa to Manchester City in August 2021. He recorded the highest transfer fee of £100 million at the time.
However, he has not performed very well in Manchester City. He scored three goals in 26 appearances in the English Premier League (EPL) in his first season, five goals in 28 games in his second season, and only three goals in 20 games last season.
In particular, he started only 10 games in the EPL last season. He has played in six games this season, but has no goals.
Coach Casley has a long relationship with players as the head coach of the national team by age group. Grealish says "He communicates how he wants us to play and how he wants me to play personally. He added that young players at the U-21 (under 21 years old) rate themselves as `fatherly figures.'
He scored his team's second goal in the first game against Ireland on the 8th of last month, giving them a 2-0 victory. England are currently on a two-game winning streak.
