Meanwhile Kyle Walker, on loan from Tottenham, received his first call-up to the senior squad.<\/p>\n<p>The game seemed to liberate the trio, giving them a chance to get away from their Premier League troubles in which Aston Villa are languishing above the relegation zone.<\/p>\n<p>And Bent is hoping to use this good form when he returns to Premier League football.<\/p>\n<p>He told <em>Sky Sports: <\/em>&#8220;It is difficult. Our club form obviously takes priority in a lot of ways because it is the way you earn your living.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But these international breaks are nice to go away and try and get some confidence and play well here and then take it back to Villa.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is myself, Stu Stewart Downing, Ashley Young and Kyle Walker. If us four can fire and play really well for England, hopefully we can take it back to Villa.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although Villa are perilously close to the drop zone Bent is confident that his team will stay in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think sometimes it happens like that. I am sure Villa won&#8217;t be the first club in a relegation battle,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But we are more than confident of getting out of it. It is always at the back of your mind and you are thinking &#8216;the Villa form, the Villa form&#8217; but when you are out there, international football is hard and you just need to stay focused.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we play well at Everton next weekend and get something out of it, I am sure we can kick forward and move on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>        <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/c54ed2f6127082_news.jpg-150x150.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Continued here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/2896\/premier-league\/2011\/03\/28\/2415403\/darren-bent-hopes-impressive-england-form-of-aston-villa\" title=\"Darren Bent hopes impressive England form of Aston Villa team-mates will aid Premier League survival push\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Darren Bent hopes impressive England form of Aston Villa team-mates will aid Premier League survival push<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Mark Fordham 28 Mar 2011 18:16:00 Darren Bent celebrates scoring for England against Wales (Getty Images) Related Links Teams Players Aston Villa striker Darren Bent believes the good form shown by he and his Villa team-mates while on international duty with England will help his team stay in the league. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-345200","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-business"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
