  "account": "Nottingham Forest manager Oliver Glasner explained his decision to deploy Super Eagles defender Ola Aina as a centre-back in the club's 2-1 victory against Aston Villa at Villa Park. Glasner revealed that he posed the question to Aina and fellow defender Ousmane Diomande, asking them if they believed they could adapt to the unfamiliar role. Aina confidently responded that he could, which reassured Glasner that Aina was capable of handling the position. Aina's performance in the unfamiliar role was impressive, as he contributed with three tackles, one interception, four clearances, and two recoveries during the match. Forest's first Premier League win of the season under Glasner has boosted their momentum, and the team is now eager to build on this success and maintain their improved form under the new manager.",
