With the 17th round of the English Premier League about to ignite, Villa's home match against the raging Manchester City has become the center of attention. In a pre-match interview, Villa defender Cash not only talked about his desire for the game, but also revealed his strong belief in victory.
Cash bluntly stated that although Manchester City is the top giants in soccer, even top teams are inevitably volatile. However, City's dominance and excellence in global football is there for all to see. He agrees that City are the favorites to win the title, but Villa is not without a fight.
Cash recalled Villa's feat of beating Manchester City 1-0 last season, when City had just two shots on target in the whole game. He emphasized that the game was a testament to Villa's ability to take on the top teams. He expects the team to return to glory at Villa Park and create an impenetrable defense.
Talking about his team's recent performance, Cash revealed that Villa achieved a three-win streak before losing to Nottingham Forest, but admitted that setbacks are part of soccer. He believes that the team has grown and become more united through the setbacks. He is confident that the weekend's clash with Manchester City is the key to getting back to winning ways, despite the last round's shutout.
Villa are currently seventh in the table, just three points adrift of fourth place. Cash pointed out that the team is heading in the right direction despite individual results. He mentioned that Villa has made a qualitative leap in the past two years, not only in the Champions League, but also in the Champions League.
Concluding remarks, Cash again emphasized the importance of team spirit and confidence. He believes that when a team hits a low point, unity and confidence are the keys to bouncing back. He is confident that Villa have the ability to blossom in the battle of Manchester City and bring victory to their fans.
