Aston Villa attacker hopes to start after impressing in friendliesGrealish: ‘We can definitely use it as inspiration’Jack Grealish believes
England can harness the pain of their
World Cup semi-final defeat by Croatia to break their opening-day duck when the sides reunite at Wembley on Sunday.
England have not won a European Championship opener in nine attempts and Zlatko Dalic’s team represent a formidable obstacle in their quest to end that run, particularly if any psychological scars remain from that agonising night in
Moscow. Grealish was still two years short of a senior international debut then but remembers the emotions that came with the extra-time exit and thinks they can be deployed positively.
