This weekend, Aston Villa will host Leeds United, managed by Daniel Falk, at Villa Park in the Premier League.
Before the match, in-form winger Jadon Sancho gave an interview, expressing his strong desire to return to the home ground and demonstrating his firm determination to help the team secure a top-three finish in the Premier League.
Sancho made no secret of the team's excitement for the upcoming match. Sancho said, "We can't wait to get back on our home turf. I really enjoy playing in front of the Aston Villa fans; they always give us their unwavering support until the very last second."
Despite acknowledging Leeds United as a tough opponent, Sancho is confident in Aston Villa's home form. He firmly believes that as long as the team executes its tactics and plays to its own style of play, they will be able to secure a comfortable victory at home.
Since the start of the new year, 25-year-old Jadon Sancho's tactical importance in Aston Villa's squad has significantly increased, starting in all of his last five Premier League matches. Manager Unai Emery has not only given him consistent playing time but also has high hopes for him during the final stretch of the season.
Speaking of the coach's trust, Sancho admitted that it was key to his return to form: "When the coach firmly supports you, you feel confident, whether in daily training or on match day. I really enjoy playing now and hope to help the team finish the season well with my performance."
Aston Villa currently sits third in the Premier League standings, a truly impressive performance. Sancho has given the team high praise for their journey, but he also maintains a clear head.
“Being third in the Premier League is a pretty good position,” Sancho added. “From the start of the season until now, the team has done a remarkable job. But we must say that our mission is not yet completely finished, and everyone must continue to grit their teeth and fight in every game to come.”
