Aston Villa will face Brentford's Buendia, hoping to score another goal to help his team secure a victory.

After the international break, Aston Villa return to the Premier League and will host Brentford on Saturday.

This match holds special significance for 29-year-old Argentine midfielder Emi Buendia. More than five years ago, he scored his debut goal for Aston Villa against Brentford. Now, in the team's first official match in three weeks, he is eager to recreate that moment and help his team secure all three points.

Reflecting on that crucial goal, Buendia said in an interview: "That was a fantastic memory. Obviously, my first goal for this club was against them, and hopefully I can score again this weekend."

Speaking about their upcoming opponents, Buendia spoke highly of Brentford and expressed the team's determination to win: "They are a very strong and excellent team, and they have shown excellent form since changing managers last season."

“We knew it would be a tough battle, but we were well prepared and focused entirely on securing our first three points at Villa Park.”

During the two-week international break, Buendia expressed satisfaction with the team's preparation rhythm: "We had a two-week break, which seemed a bit long, but we managed to balance training and rest very well."

"The coach has always emphasized focusing on preparing for the Brentford match, and the team's coordination is excellent. In addition, we played a friendly match against Sevilla in Spain, which helped the whole team maintain excellent competitive form."
