Aston Villa and British defender Ezri Consa are preparing for a three-lion clash with Andorra in his hometown this weekend, but he can’t escape his feelings about the rules of Premier League profits and sustainability
Ezri Consa admits that Aston Villa was “killed” by the transfer window. Consa even confessed that she couldn’t stand watching the deadline unfold on TV, as she didn’t want to see the team being torn apart.
Villa was forced to sell homemade prospect Jacob Ramsey for £50 million to balance the book. They eventually took Harvey Elliott and Jadon Sancho on season loan, but Emiliano Martinez joined Manchester United and ended up staying in the troubling final days of the window.
The issue of Villa Boss Unai Emery increased due to the start of the season’s nightmare, as they managed to score just one point from the opening of three games, but have not yet scored a goal. Villa defender Consana said: “Yeah, it’s crazy. I don’t understand it myself, but it doesn’t look good because I look outside. I know that.

“We have to deal with what we have now. As I say, we have a great team, I believe in our managers. I believe in our managers.
The consultan subsequently admitted that it was turned off when it was reported on television for the transfer deadline. He added: “I definitely haven’t seen it! As you say, it was particularly tough for us. I didn’t see the transfer deadline because I knew it would be difficult for us to sign players.
“I was focusing on Aston Villas, and then around 8am I went to Aston Villa Twitter and saw what happened! We signed three players.
Internationally, Villastar claims he believes that England players can “connect the nation.”
England is divided into lines over the flag, the immigration crisis, creating widespread debate in the community. Three Lion defenders, Consana, say football can unite people, just like the England team did under former boss Gareth Southgate.
Consa said: “You can definitely bring people together. I saw it last year with the Euro. A penalty after Switzerland. I go to my phone after the game and see everyone gathering together to support us. For me, as a football player, you sometimes don’t realize how much power we have in people.
“The pride and joy we play for our country and bring to people is amazing, and it is truly amazing to see.
“I was with Gareth for a year and we brought it with Thomas Touchel, how much he wanted to be a family, especially with the time we spent together in the Euro.
Consana is particularly proud to play on Saturday as Villa Park hosts the World Cup qualifiers with Andorra. It also offers England a chance to recover their pride after England lacked victory over Minnows last June.
Consa added: “It’s been my home for seven years so playing games in a villa park in the UK will be something special. I hope it’s a good thing! I’m sure it’s a good thing. It really didn’t click. Fans are hoping for a 5, 6. That’s not the case.
“The main thing was to score three points. I understand the frustration of the fans. I think we were frustrated as players. Hopefully, Saturday is another game.”
