Aston Villa center back Ezri Konsa said that calm was an important factor behind his team's record of six comeback wins (winning after being behind first) in the 2025/2026 Premier League this season.
"As a defender, of course I don't want to see my team concede the first goal. However, when it happened, we remained calm and united. We knew we had a great team and players who could win us the match," said Konsa, as quoted on the Premier League website.
Furthermore, the 28-year-old footballer also couldn't ignore the influence of their coach, Unai Emery. According to Konsa, Emery was a key figure in keeping Aston Villa's players calm when they were behind.
