Jack Grealish isn't like most other footballers, especially when he faces the media.
This week's press conference on England duty saw Grealish jokingly challenge the reporters present about the criticism he receives, defend Gareth Southgate from any doubters in the England boss, call out Graeme Souness for 'having a problem' with him, and speak honestly about his form at Manchester City.
There were no standard footballer answers here, and if they were, they undoubtedly came from a place of truth as Grealish spoke freely about where he sits at this stage of his career. While the Souness comments and his defence of his summer holiday activities will obviously get the headlines, there was also plenty that Grealish revealed about his time at City, as the debate continues around how to get the best out of him.
