Preview and Optimism for Juventus Match
00:00:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hi everyone and welcome to today's episode of the Daily Villa podcast as part of the Global Sports Podcast Network. This is Nyla here and I'm joined by Dan today. We'll be hosting this episode of Daily Villa. Today we'll preview tonight's Champions League tie against Juventus at Villa Park. How are you doing Dan? How are you feeling?
00:00:34
Dan
ah i'm I'm good, it's so good that the rubbish international break has all just gone behind us and um I'm hoping for a bit of a big result against Juventus without going too much into it. I really think this needs to be the game where we start turning things around, but looking forward to it.
00:00:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I couldn't agree more and I just feel like that's something that we seem to be saying every, every week. Um, so hopefully now is the time and yeah, not to get too much into it yet because we've got a whole episode planned, but, um, initial, um initial vibes going in. Are you feeling hopeful? Are you feeling excited? Are you a bit cautious?
00:01:18
Dan
Well, i'm I'm going to go against my usual optimistic self, which which Craig will be devastated to hear.
00:01:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh.
00:01:28
Dan
I'm a little bit nervous about this one, but saying that, yeah the games under the lights and never decided until they're over.
00:01:39
Dan
We've always got a
Unai Emery's Record Against Juventus
00:01:40
Dan
chance and if we the fans do go in believing we can get a result then I think we can. We've had a very disappointing run of fall which has been quite quite hard to watch, it reminds me of a almost the good old days when I was a little bit younger watching ah Villa.
00:02:01
Dan
It seems like we've almost gone a bit back to normal but there's nothing normal about ah tonight's game so still looking forward to it.
00:02:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ooh. Yeah, not at all. And at least, you know, our Champions League form has hasn't been too bad, you know, just, you know, three wins and a defeat. But this will be the third time that Aston Villa have faced Juventus. Haven't been so lucky in the previous matchups, but is there comfort in knowing that Unai Emery has beaten Juventus twice before in Champions League? I believe that was Sevilla in 2015 and Villa Real in 2022.
Emery's Mind Games and Press Conference
00:02:40
Dan
Well, I mean, there's been a bit of a ah manager ah roller coaster ride in merry-go-round since 2015. So I don't really take a lot of credence um in managers' histories against particular sides. Saying that, I hope it's a ah good omen, and it certainly was when we were facing Bayern Munich.
00:03:07
Dan
um You know, but Unai Emery is an established European coach and I think his coaching staff suits European competition. So if we were going to go and play Juventus in the Champions League, there's no one more than I would like sat on Villa's bench than Unai Emery.
00:03:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Absolutely. And it seems like the Juventus manager, Diego Mota, has the same respect for Emery.
00:03:32
Dan
o
00:03:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
So in a and a pre you know-match interview, press interview, Emery said that, of course, you know three points is the objective. But even to take one point would be would be good for Villa and you know just focusing on making it to the next round.
00:03:46
Dan
help
00:03:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
And you know
Player Updates and Injury Concerns
00:03:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
when Mota was asked about this, He kind of called Emory out on it and said, oh, he must have been bluffing. So what do you think the real story is there? Do you think, you know, Emory said that for effect? Does he really believe that, you you know, getting one point from this match will be enough?
00:04:07
Dan
I think it's ah it's an interesting question. i mean I believe every manager wants to win ah football games. you know that's that's That's the aim. Saying a draw is good enough um just invites a team to come out and attack. But maybe that is Emery's plan. Maybe it is all part of the mind games that are being played. To invite them out onto us and so if we can hit them on the break.
00:04:35
Dan
um We know Villa's forward line can score goals, we we just do, and they can cause damage to teams in transition and exploiting a high line. Maybe it's U and I's way of tempting Juventus to come out and play further forward. and
00:04:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh dear.
00:04:53
Dan
you
00:04:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, of course. I think, to me, i I always find some of these interviews, whether it's a pre-match, post-match, I find them kind of funny. It's almost, no matter who you listen to, it's like there's some secret big book of just lines that you can recycle.
00:05:10
Dan
Yeah.
00:05:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
My favorite one is, you know, post-match is, oh, it's not the result we wanted. I mean, of course not. Like after a loss, of course not.
00:05:18
Dan
That's it, we end for the last.
00:05:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Um,
00:05:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, so I just feel like maybe it's something, you know, as an effect, of course, you have to be careful what you're saying out to press and in media, but you also want to, you know, invite the competition, but be respectful. So, um of course, you know, making it to the next round is the ultimate goal. But I think given with Villa's history, those over the last couple weeks and in the recent form, I think,
00:05:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
really making a statement, getting three points
Juventus' Injury Challenges
00:05:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
here, it would be exactly what they need to propel them forward into, you know, back to winning ways.
00:05:53
Dan
yeah Fingers crossed.
00:05:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Um, so yeah, um I mean, hopefully it was for effect. We'll have to see how this match goes. so Of course. And with that, both teams enter this match facing some significant challenges.
00:06:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
We'll get a bit more into that after this message, courtesy of Zencaster.
00:06:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Amazing. Well, welcome back to Daily Villa. I alluded to some challenges both sides are facing before the break. Dan, do you have any guesses what they might be?
00:06:53
Dan
Well, I promise I did this through my um my own research and I didn't see this further down ah notes that we'd been speaking to. But I guess you're referring to Juventus travelling to B6 with only 14 outfield players.
00:07:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, that was one of them. I think i think there's been injury issues on on both sides, but yeah, that's definitely the main one for me.
00:07:14
Dan
o
00:07:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Not so much as a concern as a Villa fan.
00:07:20
Dan
Oh well, my heart bleeds for them.
00:07:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, they can...
00:07:23
Dan
Absolutely bleeds, that little violin.
00:07:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, absolutely. um
Defensive Strategy Discussion
00:07:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, you know, obviously, Villa's been struggling recently with some injuries and in match match fitness within the squad.
00:07:35
Dan
yeah
00:07:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
But some good news is that Emory's confirmed that Kansa and Kamara are back in the squad for tomorrow. But unfortunately, Onana and Ramsey are still out.
00:07:47
Dan
you
00:07:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Is that promising to see some players returning to fitness at least?
00:07:49
Dan
but
00:07:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Or you know how are you feeling about this? Are we unsure whether they're truly you know fit to be back in the squad? I know um think it was Craig or Joe mentioned you know making Feeling like players are being rushed back a bit too early and that can be detrimental. What are your thoughts when you when you see specifically content Kamara back in the squad?
00:08:14
Dan
Well, I mean, Konza and Kamara are both a welcome return to the squad. and I don't think Villa looked the same without Konza. I think we really struggled. So I suggest that we he is patched up in whatever way he can possibly be and he is put straight back in. Kamara, I've always been a big Kamara fan and I was devastated when he He had his injury and was taken away from us for for so long. Excuse me, a really he was really in a rich vein of form and it really knocked Villa for six, I think. And that that partnership he had with Douglas Louise, I thought was was magical. um However, I don't think Camara's gonna start for us tonight. I think it's gonna be Barkley playing alongside Tealemans.
00:09:10
Dan
I don't see how you potentially leave Barkley out of this game, especially with him scoring such an important goal for us against Crystal Palace, but it's it's good news to see players coming back in. It really is.
00:09:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Definitely. I think it also speaks to the players there like Ross Barkley who are waiting for their opportunity to really make their mark. And it only goes to show, you know, squad depth where players can step up to the occasion and, you know, pull out the performance that is needed.
00:09:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
I completely agree with Kanza being, you know, that's wonderful news. Thank God, i put him back in that back line, please.
00:09:51
Dan
Yeah. Oh, absolutely.
00:09:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Um, I, and, you know, Emory's kind of mentioned is what like, he's aware of the issues defensively that Villa are facing. So.
00:10:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hopefully, that's been a point of focus in in match preparation preparations for this ah game tonight.
Substitutions and Game Management
00:10:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
And yeah, international duty strikes, again, like you said, Juventus is only travelling or named 14 outfield players to their squad because they've they've managed to pick up a few injuries. Specifically, um I want to mention that it was um, Blahovic, who's been a very important goal scorer, um, very dangerous up top for them. And for me, Weston McKinney is very pacey player. I think he could have caused some of us, caused some, um, some issues for us and both of them.
00:10:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
are dealing with some injuries now so they won't be in the squad and of course we won't be seeing our old friend Douglas Louise.
00:10:53
Dan
yeah
00:10:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
um So that obviously you know will affect their their game plan and their strategy. Do you feel that that will even the playing fields you know considering the players that we have out as well?
00:11:08
Dan
excuse me I think it's it's um an interesting point and when I was looking over this question I thought is this villa's opportunity to play how it used how football used to be played in the 80s and just go through a couple of players and make them actually ah go through their soft bench a little bit sooner than they'd have all liked. And then I thought that's a real um evil way of playing football and and retracted from it very quickly. ah That being said, um I think Villa's bench at the moment also looks a little bit wobbly.
00:11:46
Dan
um I don't look at it and instantly see who the match winner is um off the bench. Now that might that might just be me. We've seen Duran come off the bench and and be that match winner, but we've also seen him come on and run round a bit, a little bit like a headless chicken, like the chaos creator that he is. um you know That being said, you know,
00:12:15
Dan
that That feeling really comes from me watching the last five games that we've played. And before that, I'd have looked at Villa's bench and went, oh, well, Duran will come on and he'll score and that'll be it. But that there doesn't seem at this precise moment in time for the Villa to be that that one person off the bench that we're going to bring on and change the entire game. I think it's it's going to still be fairly even for us.
00:12:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay. That's interesting take. I think, you know, I do agree with, I think it'll still be ah of course a competitive match still definitely a battle.
00:12:52
Dan
Mm.
00:12:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think it was really interesting. Um, given they only have the 14 available that the manager didn't bring up, call up any of their ah younger players.
00:13:04
Dan
Mm.
00:13:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Um, so he's really putting full faith, um, in those, in those players to get it done.
00:13:07
Dan
Great date.
00:13:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
But it then to me. plays into some tactics where now you have less substitutions available to make. how you know Depending on how the game goes, ah
Tactical Approaches and Villa's Strategy
00:13:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
that will affect game management for sure. So it will be very interesting to see how that plays out. And and of course, you know knock on wood that no one gets hurt, but a lot of game-changing things can can emerge in Champions League football.
00:13:35
Dan
Absolutely.
00:13:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
So that, yeah, for me, I'm just, I'll just be sitting, sitting back, holding on and watching and in hoping for the best, but
00:13:45
Dan
but Absolutely.
00:13:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
We will, oh, sorry. So just one more with this squad talk. We've been struggling defensively lately, as mentioned before. Emery actually addressed this saying that they've been working on it. And he specifically mentioned that it was important for them to feel strong in their structure rather than just thinking defensively.
00:14:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Does that mean anything to you? What does that mean to you? If you're, you know, obviously we're not, you have a licensed coaches in the Premier League, but to say, you know, to feel strong in their structure rather than just thinking defensively.
00:14:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Does anything stick out?
00:14:33
Dan
Well, if if if if I'm using all my sporting qualifications, which amounted to a five metre swimming badge, um to me, I think it's about being defensive as a team and as a, you know, solid as a unit. um I think that's totally key rather than um but rather than sitting defensively. It's been strong as a team. I know that sounds slightly garbled, but, you know, not going into our shell and, you know, defending... or don't i'm trying to find it I'm trying to find the words. It's like when we press the whole team going together, being of the same mind. And we've seen some very silly goals recently through a lack of concentration. that that'
00:15:32
Dan
pure and simple what it is people not following the same off-side line you know being that step behind each other um and that has really cost us over the last couple of games and I didn't think we'd see that again um after Gerard's tenure. We, not silly mistakes, I mean teams do score against you in football matches, that's what happens, but we've given away a lot of silly goals and I really thought that was that was past us, but sorry you can now see my my little frock of spaniel appearing. Hello, go on.
00:16:14
Dan
um And yeah, I was hoping that that was behind us. But we'll see. We'll see. But definitely, it's to me, it's about defending as a unit rather than just a collection of individuals, really pulling that concentration but back to where we where we have seen it under an IMR.
00:16:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep, absolutely agree with you there. And I think what ties
Match Predictions and Expectations
00:16:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
goes hand in hand with concentration is discipline. I think a lot of the times, rather than just thinking that defensive thinking, like, what if we lose the ball?
00:16:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
You know, who's covering what?
00:16:52
Dan
Yeah.
00:16:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
or Who's going back where? Who's picking up what player? It's not what if, it's having that discipline to stay in the shape to stay when you want to go forward perhaps to be that that last man or you know you see the the forward coming in it's you just stay with the defensive line and hold the line rather than dropping so I think hopefully that's what he means you know in terms of staying strong in our structure I think it's it comes down to discipline and concentration um and hopefully we'll be able to see some of that tonight
00:17:01
Dan
Yeah.
00:17:11
Dan
Yes.
00:17:21
Dan
and
00:17:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
We will be back for squad lineups and predictions after a message from the Global Sports Podcast Network.
00:18:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Welcome back to the best part of the episode, match predictions. So Dan, Juventus typically play a 1-4-3-2-1. I've added the one in because goalkeepers are always left out, so shout out to any goalkeepers listening, didn't forget you. How do you think a 1-4-3-2-1 will play ah play up against our Villa side?
00:18:30
Dan
well If with my five meter swimming badge I think this game is about width and I think that is one major key in this game and you know moving the ball around quickly I think is the other key. If we can get the ball out quickly to our wide players then I think we can hurt them. This looks like it's going to be a bit of a team that
00:19:01
Dan
is going to be very hard to break down and that is something that Villa has struggled with um in the past and and certainly well recently as well if we're being honest we we don't seem to move be moving the ball quickly enough so if we can move the ball quickly I think we're going to be okay if we watch our team I don't want to say divvering, but you know what I mean, and not being courageous going forward and cutting back. I i think we could struggle. um Saying that, let's hope it's going to be a swashbuckling performance from our side. if If we play it the right way against this side with pace and decisiveness, then I think we're going to be okay.
00:19:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, absolutely. I think key is is what you said is playing around.
00:19:56
Dan
Hmm.
00:19:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
It might be more difficult, you know, if they have
Predictions for Villa's Starting 11
00:20:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
more numbers back defensively.
00:20:02
Dan
Yeah.
00:20:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
um And, you know, that might actually pose a problem just because they've got They're, they're in decently formed, but they actually have Syria's strongest defense line.
00:20:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
They've only conceded seven goals this season. So that might be tough to break down, but I think, you know, if we can't play around, then perhaps finding those areas where we can break lines.
00:20:25
Dan
o
00:20:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
We've got Morgan Rogers, a fantastic ball carrier.
00:20:28
Dan
Yeah.
00:20:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hopefully he can drop in, pick the ball up and then. Go from there, connect with Ali, connect with anybody who's willing to get on the ball and and we can get forward. um I feel like Leon Bailey's starting to pick up his performances and hopefully he'll be um working back to get back in his form. But you know just going off of what I've just said there about Juventus' back line and in how well they've been defending this season, does that worry you at all?
00:20:58
Dan
yet Yes, it does. um yeah did it that That's the thing that that is worrying me about this entire game. Normally, as you know, I am i am the confident one. But but yeah, ah over the last couple of games with Villas, what is ah amounting to a lack of confidence I think we are not going to be able to necessarily play that swashbuckling football that I'm desiring. um villa but When we played Brueger, we were looking for this killer pass all the time when it wasn't on. And if we play like that against these guys,
00:21:45
Dan
they will hurt us and they will soak up that for as long as we offer it. And that's that's what is the concern for me. I think you've raised a really good point with Morgan Rogers. If he has the sort of game that we know he can have in getting in between the lines and those little pockets of space and the quick ball playing to people like Watkins, if he is making that run, which he, 99% of the time is, then I think we can hurt them.
00:22:19
Dan
But, you know, we have struggled to break down defenses and this looks like a defense that's going to be really hard to break down.
00:22:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think it will take definitely some creativity.
00:22:32
Dan
Hmm.
00:22:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
um I'm not as worried. I feel like our Champions League format home has been really great so far.
00:22:39
Dan
Hmm.
00:22:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
But even with that, I think the only thing The worst thing that could hurt us is ourselves. I think if they're trying to break through and they can't get through, then it becomes about let's not get frustrated.
00:22:47
Dan
Yeah. Yeah.
00:22:52
Dan
Yeah.
00:22:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's not start forcing things. Let's you know recycle the ball, keep possession, and then keep them moving until we can break them down.
00:22:57
Dan
Yeah.
00:23:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
and find a way so i don't feel like villa you know is great with that i think a lot of the times i do start panicking and trying to force things then it becomes a counter attack then it becomes now we're just giving away possession um and that's something that we don't want at all um and can't afford to you know once you you're in the other team's third you're attacking you know to to give up that opportunity
00:23:12
Dan
even
00:23:17
Dan
yeah
00:23:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
would be detrimental. you know We want to show that we're a dangerous side when we're on the ball um and attacking and it that just doesn't help at all.
00:23:36
Dan
move chair
00:23:40
Dan
i I think it's about being positive and as you said, not forcing the issue. We've seen that Certainly against Bruega. We saw it against Liverpool with that major attacking play with with those corners um and At this precise moment. I don't necessarily want to call out players, but you know Carlos has been having a bit of a torrid time at the moment and it to the point where he looks like he's playing for the opposition rather than rather than us and it's
00:24:18
Dan
Yeah, this is going to have to be a game with 100% concentration and patience, as you say, to not force the issue. To stick with the ball, move them round and make them run. And if we can find those little pockets of space, as you've said, with Morgan Rogers, then hopefully we'll have some success.
00:24:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
I do hope so. And you know, you you mentioned a few players there and that brings me to my next question is who do you think will make up the starting 11?
00:24:50
Dan
Okay, so um um I'm not going controversial with our goalkeeper, so I'm going to go for Martinez, you know, play that one safe. um I think we're going to see Cash, Carlos, Torres, and I was going to say Matson, but I'm going to go for Dina. That'll be our back line. I think Barkley comes in for Anana and plays alongside Tealemans. I'm going to go with Rogers McGinn,
00:25:19
Dan
And I was going to go with Bailey, but I'm not. I'm going to go with Philegy.
00:25:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay.
00:25:27
Dan
that's That's my my one. it I'm hoping Bailey could come on and and prove that he should have started. Let's put it that way. And I'm going with good old Mr Faithful Ollie Watkins up front.
00:25:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Brilliant. Well, we'll see if that comes true. I actually think we'll start probably the same 11 that we started against Crystal Palace. The only changes being um in the back line.
00:25:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
I would hope Kansa's back in and then I will agree with you and and hope that Luca Dina's back in. I thought he had a phenomenal international break with France.
00:26:07
Dan
indeed
00:26:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
So hopefully he brings that energy um and that performance into tonight's match.
00:26:08
Dan
Now
00:26:15
Dan
fingers crossed.
00:26:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hopefully. And so score predictions.
00:26:19
Dan
Ah.
00:26:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Who do you think you'll get on the sheet?
00:26:23
Dan
I am denied about this one and but my heart is saying 1-1 would be a fantastic result. That would be something that we could walk away from this game not feeling too bad about ourselves um and that is a good result. Saying that, um I'm not a betting man but if I was going to put some money on it my prediction would be 1-1 until the 87th minute And then Mr.
00:26:54
Dan
Chaos creator, Mr. Duran, comes on and scores, I don't know, from the halfway line. Like he seems to score spectacular goals like he usually does.
00:27:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Classic. Classic.
00:27:05
Dan
So I'm going for a 2-1 villa win. I'm going to keep my optimistic head on.
00:27:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, that's fair enough. I also am denied about this one. Um, I don't want to be the actual villain, not like an Aston Villa fan, but yeah, I don't want to be the enemy here, you guys, but I know I've been seeing a lot of things saying, you know, Villa is a favorite to win, but I don't know.
00:27:20
Dan
Mmm.

I'm just not that convinced. And I, I don't want this to be a bad omen and a bad curse karma and whatever, but I might, I might have to go to when you vent us.
00:27:39
Dan
Now I.
00:27:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm hoping that doesn't happen. I'll knock on wood, but ah yeah, I don't know. i just I've not got a strong feeling about this one.
00:27:46
Dan
it It wouldn't surprise me if you were right.
00:27:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
oh
00:27:50
Dan
I can see that happening, and I toyed with 2-1 to Juve, Juve snatching one at the end, with it being 0-0 all the way till the end.
00:28:00
Dan
But I thought, I've got to keep my um my positive outlook for the sake of the listeners and the sake of myself.
00:28:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
someone has to yeah i i i hope i'm not the first one on our team to predict a loss oh dear okay yeah i'm gonna have to issue a hopefully i'm in a place where i'll have to issue a formal apology to tomorrow
00:28:08
Dan
yeah Indeed.
00:28:14
Dan
Well, I've not been chalking it up, but I am now going to start doing that. I think we should keep a little league table of a correct results and see who wins at the end of the season. I might start doing that.
00:28:30
Dan
ah Well, let let's hope so.
00:28:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
But yeah, yeah, so hopefully, you know, it'll be no doubt an exciting match. Hopefully there will be lots of goals for Villa. And yeah, no doubt about it, under the lights, it'll always be, you know, under the lights at Villa Park is always something special and I'd imagine it will be a very exciting game. Any final thoughts, Dan, heading into this match?
00:28:53
Dan
Well, I hope um I'm proven right with 2-1 and you're proven wrong.
00:28:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
I hope so.
00:29:00
Dan
Let's hope that's the case. um And let's hope that this is the game where we turn it around. It was not a bad draw against Crystal Palace considering, but let's hope that this is the game where we turn around this dip in form and we can then roll on to Stanford Bridge feeling a little bit more positive because that's a game that also is lurking just around the corner and I don't really fancy playing them over the weekend either but it seems that that's the case.
00:29:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, absolutely. Definitely a statement match tonight.
00:29:37
Dan
Indeed.
