Mins: It is an achievement to participate in European wars every year, but we want to win the championship trophy

May 14th According to the Birmingham Post, Tyrone Mins talked about the current situation of the team in an interview.

It is reported that Mins performed more than expected after his comeback and is helping Aston Villa to compete for the Champions League qualification. After a serious knee injury, Tyrone Mins returned to the field at the end of October last year. He tore the ACL in his right knee in August 2023 against Newcastle. After a 384-day recovery period, he finally made a comeback in the British League Cup match against Crystal Palace this season.

Despite losing in that game against Aston Villa, the team has remained unbeaten in all 14 games since Mins returned to the Premier League.

Speaking of this, Mins said: "I was injured at the beginning of the season and now I am able to contribute to the team healthily, which is already a successful season for me. There are a lot of uncertainties about my comeback, such as whether to come back and when. I am very happy with my performance this year, and we have two important games to play. I always say that as long as I can play and perform well and I have no problem with my knees by the end of the season, I think it is a successful season.

"Of course, the team has its own goals, too. We want to get the highest ranking possible. While this will be very difficult, I personally would see it as a great performance from the start of the season until now. ”

In the latest game, Mins helped Aston Villa win 1-0 against Bournemouth, a victory that strengthened the team's hopes of returning to the Champions League in the last two rounds against Tottenham and Manchester United.

When talking about this, Mins said: "We are only a small part of the history of the club, whether it is success or trough, John McKinn, Jacob Ramsey and I were here when the team competed in the Championship. We have experienced many ups and downs, and everyone’s experiences are different. ”

Although Aston Villa reached the quarterfinals in the Champions League this season, they almost made history in their home match against Paris Saint-Germain and eventually won 3-2, but were eliminated due to a 1-3 defeat in France in the first leg.

When they were eliminated in the Champions League, Mins said: "Of course, there will be disappointments and eliminations in the process. This club has the expectations of success and the goal of winning the trophy, and I don't think we should stay away from this goal. After the season, we have a positive feeling, no matter how we end up in the league, but there will be a hint of regret. It is a huge achievement to be qualified for European events every year, but we also want to win trophies and really make history for the club. After 38 games in a season, you usually get the results you deserve, which is the fairest way to obtain European competition qualifications. Whether in the top four or top five, you definitely deserve this position because you need to show consistency throughout the season.

"If we add the head coach's record in the Cup and the honors he has won, we can learn from it. But by standard, I think it's important to be able to handle this pressure. Even when I came back from injury, the club's position changed. We just qualified for the Europa League, and at the beginning of the season, if we have the chance to play again, you might say they would rather go to the Europa League or the Champions League."
