JAKARTA - Coach Ange Postecoglou wants his team to continue their positive trend when they meet Aston Villa in the 28th week of Liga 1 Indonesia at Villa Park Stadium, Birmingham, Sunday. Postecoglou explained that he was satisfied with the performance of his team in the Premier League last week by beating Crystal Palace 3-1. The former Celtic coach continued, Unai Emery's Aston Villa match will be a big test for Son Heung-min and colleagues later. "The players they buy, are very in line with the way the manager wants to play. They are very impressive, another competitive team in every game, so you know it will be a difficult match," Postecoglou was quoted as saying on the club's official website via Antara, Sunday, March 10. "It was good for us, looking forward to it, it was a big game, especially during the trip. I think we performed well last week, we were very happy with our performance in general and hopefully we can develop it." Postecoglou explained that they had understood how Aston Villa would approach the match later, but they were reluctant to lower their vigilance. Despite Aston Villa's game, Postecoglou will continue to strive to bring Tottenham's development to a better direction according to the standards they want. "It's a big game, whenever you play against the club around you, it's a big game. It's a big test, especially during the trip. After that there will be another big 11 games," said Postecoglou.
