I would go as far as to say that you do need to play like you don't care. With certain mindsets it really does help, it's almost like you've done the work, you've proven your worth, you've got tour opportunity and once that whistle goes your body relaxes especially like that type of position that Jack Grealish plays, you've got to play like you don't care. Then it just happens. Your talent speaks, you relinquish any inhibitions that you might have, any tension that might hold you back in any way. He sounds and plays like that player that doesn't care on the pitchb - in a good way. He's willing to get on the ball. he himself and let his character show. We're all crying out for an attacking performance from England tonight that shows that.
