"Personally, I feel very good. Playing is the best part of this sport, so I can say that it is a pleasure to get on the pitch so often.
“I am a big football fan, in general. I also follow the Premier League and I think it is a very competitive league, with a lot of very good teams. Tomorrow, in this regard, we will face a strong team and we will have to be composed and concentrated throughout the match. The game in Birmingham will see two teams who want to play their style football, it will be a good game.
“The challenge against Aston Villa will have the same importance as the first four teams we faced. There isn't one match more important than the others, they all count towards qualification for the knockout phase. We are a small squad, we’re aware of that, but everyone is fully available for the coach. We know that injuries are part and parcel in our line of work.
“I'm happy to set an example for the younger players. I feel the responsibility, I like having it and I like trying to improve every day to make them understand that there is always room for development.”
