00:01Aston Villa's hopes of a major breakthrough this season haven't entirely faded but as the campaign
00:07approaches its business end their ambitions are under increasing pressure. Villa's recent 3-1
00:14defeat to Manchester United was a setback in their bid for a top four Premier League finish
00:19with the loss keeping them close to the Champions League spots but highlighting how fine the margins
00:25have become with this this draw in the first half we could we could felt good in the first
00:33half but the second half we started a little bit less less than the first half dominating
00:39the opponent like we did the first half they were dominated more and they scored one goal
00:44after it we reacted fantastic drawing and was the key moment to tie again to recover game
00:49plan or to score the second goal like we did one chance with Tamiya Brand but considering
00:56some transition like we did they scored and we didn't score and in this moment was the
01:03momentum for them and for us and they got the advantage in the result with their goal and
01:10after it again was more difficult than much for us but we tried but we considered as well
01:15some transition they scored the third goal even like that we had another chances to score one
01:19goal but overall it's a little bit pity how we were competing performing and how we lost in some
01:27momentum the control of the game we had and through it of course they showed their capacity as well
01:32individually and in transition to to get the advantage they did.
01:37UNAMRO's side have still every reason to fight though a run in the Europa League remains active
01:43and fresh after an encouraging 1-0 victory away against Lille in the last 16 first leg
01:48with Oli Watkins scoring Villa's goal and giving them a slender advantage heading into the second leg
01:54at Villa Park.
01:55Yes still matches to play points to play of course we are doing over a good season but we need
02:02to react
02:02and to try to to recover the structure like we are working every day to recover it and we did
02:10on Thursday today we did as well something's good and next challenge is on Thursday again Lille at home
02:16and then on Sunday again Western at home of course we need to be together we need to be as
02:21well
02:22working and with our supporters trying to support to help everybody and work hard like we were doing
02:31like we are doing and and try to to to get good results.
02:36Their goals for the remainder of the season are clear solidify a European place mount a strong run in Europe
02:41that keeps fans dreaming and maintain belief in a squad that showed real promise earlier in the campaign
02:48but to achieve those targets consistency will be vital especially in tight league fixtures
02:53and knockout ties where one moment can define a season.
02:57that makes sense.
