The coach said in his remarks: “I feel very happy; we have been in the top four in the last five matches, and we are still among the teams competing for a spot in the Champions League.”
He added: “Aston Villa fights until the last player; they are one of the top teams in Europe. We delivered an impressive performance, and we were firm in our challenges; the back four was truly amazing.”
He emphasized: “Football is based on emotions, both for fans and players. There is a lot of pressure on the club to reach the Champions League; the players showed great attitude, and we are very grateful for that.”
He continued: “Jeremy Doku had a brilliant movement; he has the ability to make a difference with his speed, and the players were in the right place inside the penalty area. Football, by its nature, requires you to live with moments of frustration.”
He added: “The performance was excellent, and we succeeded in delivering what was asked of us; the season has not been good. The reality is that what gives us a sense of satisfaction is the Premier League, but such things happen; some seasons are inherently bad.”
He concluded: “The level of teams in the Premier League is, without a doubt, exceptional.”
