The commanding central defender praised a collaborative defensive effort following a remarkably controlled Sunday triumph showcasing incredible squad unity.
Total control rarely happens during terrifying relegation battles. Tottenham Hotspur surprisingly achieved exactly that reality on Sunday. The visitors secured a crucial 2-1 victory against Aston Villa, even as the defensive performance remained relatively untroubled until the final seconds. Emiliano Buendia eventually scored a late consolation goal. Unai Emery saw his side wait sixty-two minutes just to register a first effort at goal. That perfectly illustrates their complete dominance.
Kevin Danso played a massive part in that success. The central defender addressed reporters following the collaborative Villa Park win. Interviewers asked if their visible defensive calmness came directly from Roberto De Zerbi. “Definitely,” the centre back confirmed to official club media. “He has given us loads of solutions,” he explained. “I feel like everybody knows exactly what the manager wants, how we want to play,” he noted.

The defender praised their composure in possession. “Like you said, I feel we look calm and we also feel calm, especially when we have the ball,” he continued. “I feel like we are really good defenders and when it comes to that, I think we continue to do well and show our qualities,” Danso added. The N17 faithful desperately needed this unified defensive showing.
A terrifying reality forced the entire squad to focus. “I am very proud of the performance,” the defender admitted to reporters. “It was an important game.” “We knew the situation going into the game,” he stated. “I think the lads were just extremely focused, knew what was at stake and performed really well.” “We have been working all week with each other, speaking to each other,” he confirmed.
The commanding player understands the gravity of the situation. “Like I said, we know what is at stake,” Danso reiterated. “We know what is needed.” “That fight we showed today is needed for the next three games as well,” he concluded. They currently possess even more unity now.
