Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey believes the team has the confidence and quality to overcome Tottenham Hotspur in today’s Premier League clash, Softfootball reports.
Villa head into the encounter looking to bounce back from a disappointing midweek defeat, but Ramsey insists the mood within the squad remains positive ahead of another crucial test.
The England midfielder admitted that Wednesday’s loss was frustrating, while also describing the earlier draw against Bournemouth as a result that felt like a defeat. Despite those setbacks, he stressed that the players remain focused and confident.
Ramsey pointed to Villa’s impressive performances in recent weeks, including memorable victories over Bayern Munich and Bologna in the UEFA Champions League, as well as a strong Premier League win against Fulham, as evidence of the team’s progress under Unai Emery.
The 23-year-old believes those results have boosted the squad’s confidence and reinforced their belief that they can compete with any team.
Ramsey also insisted that neither the players nor the coaching staff are getting carried away by Villa’s position in either the Premier League or Champions League standings.
Instead, he explained that the club’s approach is to focus on one match at a time, regardless of the competition.
According to him, Villa are determined to remain grounded and continue taking each fixture as it comes, knowing there is still a long way to go in the season.
Aston Villa have enjoyed an impressive start to the campaign, establishing themselves as contenders in both domestic and European competitions.
They will now aim to return to winning ways against an in-form Tottenham side as they continue their pursuit of another top-four finish in the Premier League while balancing the demands of Champions League football.
