Aston Villa star targets World Cup glory

Konsa was a standout player in England's 2-0 win over Albania on Friday, partnering debutant Dan Burn in central defence.

 Tuchel, in his first camp since taking over from Sir Gareth Southgate, has said he wants more leadership in his group, shown by recalls for experienced duo Jordan Henderson and Kyle Walker.

 And the Aston Villa centre-half sees it as an opportunity to prove himself.

 Asked whether his selection in Tuchel's first game was a vote of confidence, he said: "It was nice. I want to improve how good I am at this level.

 "I'm just grateful that the boss put me into the team and hopefully I've shown him what I can do.

 "That's something that he told us when he came in, how much he wanted us to be together, even more so than before.

 "He wanted leaders and I think for me, especially on a personal level, I think that's something that I want to try and improve on in my game.

 "Become more of a leader, and hopefully under the boss I can do more of that."

 Assuming there are no disasters in the qualifying campaign, which continues with another home game against Latvia on Monday, England will be one of the favourites to win the World Cup in North America next summer.

 Konsa, 27, says that pressure comes with the territory.

 "As players you have got to deal with pressure. That's part of the game, especially the level we are playing at," he added.

 "With the team we have got, especially when we are expecting to win something.

 "The boss has come to win something, he's got the winning mentality. You can see with his CV how many trophies he has got in his career and he wants to win here."
