OS has Youri talking to the press ahead of the match.
feeling absolutely top class right now. Even with no competitive games for a couple of weeks, been grafting in the gym and the Belgium friendlies in trumpland were perfect to keep my progress to full fitness for the season going\\\. It worked out perfectly for his recovery, and he reckons he’s back to his absolute best for the Villa run-in.
Looking at Bologna, reaching a third straight quarter-final is massive for us. The lads want to keep pushing and get Villa back where we belong.
We all know what happened against PSG in the Champions League quarters—that first away leg basically killed the tie. we have to learn from that. It comes down to game management and not conceding late goals that just hand the mental edge away. That big match experience is going to be key for us here.
We know Bologna well since we beat them twice at VP, but they play a kamikaze attacking style and they are going to be massively up for it on their home turf. We have to be completely switched on.
Having the second leg at B6 is a huge advantage, so the goal for this first away leg is to find our rhythm, figure out their setup, and snatch a win to bring back home.
It's going to be a tight one, but the boys want this.
With two months left in the Prem, the goal is to lock down that 4th spot and stay right where we belong.
