In the fourth round of the Premier League, Villa played against Everton away. Before the game, Villa defender Mins was interviewed by the media.

For the game, Mins said: "This is a major game for us. We need to start winning as soon as possible, which will be the whole focus of away game Everton. At this stage, the results except for victory are not good enough for us. But obviously the away game is particularly difficult. They have a good start in the new season and there are many excellent players in the team."

"For us, (the new stadium) will not have much impact at the beginning of the game, but if we can quickly stabilize the situation and deal with the opponent's current good home atmosphere, it will lay a good foundation for us to control the game. Of course, it will be difficult, but we are very looking forward to seeing how the team react after a disappointing start."

Villa signed three new players, Lindelof, Sancho and Elliott, at the close of the window.

Minz said: "International match day undoubtedly gives you the opportunity to refocus, settle and evaluate the previous games. It is a bit of an understatement to say that we have not met our expected goals yet. I think it is a bit of an understatement. I think the international match day is coming at the right time. Most of the international players who go out to compete have performed well, and hope that this state can bring back Villa."

Speaking of Lindelof, Sancho and Elliott, Mins said: "They are all exciting additions. Three experienced players will definitely help the team, especially in the Premier League and European arenas."

"From the training observations over the past two weeks, they are all very professional players. They are well integrated, eager to learn and prove themselves, and they are very looking forward to fighting side by side with them. In short, we look forward to the weekend battle and the new players play a role."
