Villa’s skipper shows his desire to lead his team to the top half of the table. In an interview, McGinn said:
“It’s important not to put any targets on it because it would be disrespectful to the league. We had a poor season last year. It probably ended terribly for us.”
He also said,
“We have a lot of ambition and have a lot of talent, we’ve spent a lot of money so the pressure is there to deliver for the owners and, first and foremost, the supporters. There’s a lot of people expecting us and there has to be a time that this group of players deliver.”
