Aston Villa midfielder Mile Jedinak: Playoff final is "crossroads" moment

Aston Villa midfielder Mile Jedinak describes the Championship playoff final with Fulham as a "crossroads moments" for both clubs.

Aston Villa midfielder Mile Jedinak has suggested that he is carrying no nerves ahead of the Championship playoff final with Fulham.

On Saturday evening, the two clubs will meet in a game regarded as the most lucrative showdown in football, with a reported £170m on offer for the winners.

However, Jedinak has indicated that he is only "motivated" to make an impact in the clash at Wembley Stadium, rather than being concerned about the future of the losers.

The 33-year-old is quoted by the Daily Mail as saying: "It is a crossroads moment in every aspect. Sliding doors, it can go one of two ways.

"I can't speak for everybody but that motivates me. I use that on the field to make sure I'm doing everything I possibly can. You are going to have to see everybody's last drop of sweat. It's a bigger stake but that makes it even more exciting."

Jedinak has made 27 appearances for Villa during the current campaign.
