What is being said?
About his own playing style, Grillitsch once said: I would describe myself as a midfielder, who has his strong points in attack.“I can read the game well and I can anticipate situations ahead of time. Beside my good understanding of the game and tactical discipline I also have pace, the willingness to run and a good passing game on my side.“I can keep hold of the ball rather well and if necessary I can head the ball well due to my height.
