Ron Vlaar is targeting a marked improvement in Aston Villa s fortunes after a disappointing finish to their Premier League campaign.
Villa endured a torrid end to the season, winning once in their last nine matches, eventually finishing in 15th position, five points above the relegation zone.
Paul Lambert s men also finished 15th at the end of 2012-13, but that came on the back of a strong run in which they won five of their last 10 games to pull clear of trouble.
It needs to be better, one thing is for sure, Vlaar told the club s official website. The most important thing, though, is that we secured our Premier League status.
After last season we had a good feeling in the summer break because we climbed the table and secured safety.
But in the last couple …
Fiorentina forward Giuseppe Rossi has been named in Italy s provisional 30-man FIFA World Cup squad after overcoming injury.
Rossi has been plagued by knee problems and damaged the anterior cruciate ligament in his right leg in January, leaving his availability for the World Cup into doubt.
However, after featuring as a substitute in this month s Coppa Italia final and two subsequent Serie A fixtures, the 27-year-old has been selected by national coach Cesare Prandelli.
Antonio Cassano, who last represented Italy in the final of UEFA Euro 2012, is another player to have made the cut.
There are also call-ups for Torino s Ciro Immobile, Serie A s top scorer this season, and Christian Maggio of Napoli, who has recovered from surgery on a partially collapsed lung.
Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri has predictably missed out on selection for France s FIFA World Cup squad.
The attacking midfielder has displayed fine form for Manchester City this season and scored on Sunday as the club secured the Premier League title with a 2-0 win over West Ham.
However, Nasri who was handed a three-match suspension by the French Football Federation following an expletive tirade directed at journalists during Euro 2012 admitted after that game that he did not expect to be called upon by France coach Didier Deschamps, having been dropped for a friendly with the Netherlands in March.
His prediction was proven correct on Tuesday as Deschamps announced a 23-man party, plus seven reserve players, containing few surprises.

Market: Bradford City draw no bet
Odds: 21/20 @
Looking to extend on their recent purple patch in midweek, a high-flying Bradford will travel to Walsall on Tuesday night.
Starting with the hosts, while Walsall might have opened 2023 enjoying what was a hugely impressive run of form, the Saddlers have come crashing back down to earth in recent times. Last seen over the weekend putting in another downbeat display on home soil as they slumped to a 1-0 loss at home against Barrow, Michael Flynn s men find themselves sat in League Two limbo. In fact, the Midlands-based outfit have failed to win any of their last 10 straight matchups across all formats a run that stems all the way back to January 8th. Facing what should be another stern test on Tuesday night, the one-…
Former Sevilla midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak looks set to return to Spain following a largely disappointing loan spell at WBA.
The 27-year-old Polish international moved to the Premier League in August 2017 on a season-long loan deal from French heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain.
But just like in Paris, Krychowiak failed to live up to the expectations at the Hawthorns and is currently looking towards the exit door following not more than eight Premier League appearances for the Baggies.
Polish media have picked up on a rumour being spread by the Spanish news outlet Diario AS, claiming that Krychowiak himself is hoping to return to La Liga where he enjoyed his best football with Sevilla and that Getafe are keen to capitalize on his desire.
The Polish inte…

Simeone told a news conference: We have a very clear situation: we need to win and then wait to see what Barcelona do.
What we can affect is beating Granada.
Simeone was not getting over-excited by Atletico s title push, however, and urged his players to focus ahead of the game at the Vicente Calderon.
We live day to day, and can see the situation is changing a lot, he added. We don t think beyond that but the team is strong and i…
