Pau Torres, Aston Villa defender, believes that the team is capable of competing in both the Europa Conference League and the pursuit of a top-four finish in the Premier League. Villa is set to face Lille in the quarter-finals of the European competition and Arsenal in their next league match. Torres highlighted the strength and depth of Villa’s squad and emphasized the importance of fighting in every game.
With a strong squad that can give 100% in each match, Villa is focused on their upcoming fixtures against Lille and Arsenal. Torres recognized the significance of these matches and stressed the need for continuous effort and determination. Following their victory over Ajax in the Round of 16, Villa will make their first quarter-final appearance in a major European competition since 1998.
Despite suffering an injury earlier in the season, Torres has been a vital player for Villa, making 31 appearances so far. He acknowledged that squad rotation will be crucial during the busy end-of-season run-in but expressed his improving physical condition. With manager Unai Emery’s experience and success in European competitions, Torres believes that Villa has a strong advantage.
Emery’s tactical knowledge and preparation are valuable assets for Villa as they pursue European success. The defender highlighted his manager’s expertise in navigating tough matches, which he believes will be crucial against Lille. With Emery at the helm, Villa has every chance to make it to Europe next season.
