Unai Emery was discussing Aston Villa’s performance in their Champions League win against RB Leipzig.
Unai Emery said “I try to enjoy and always we want to improve and sometimes it is hard but today the team were performing well, playing seriously and I was enjoying it.”
He continued to reflect on the challenges and strategies during the match.
Unai Emery said “More or less we were playing consistently. One mistake and they score but then we played very well. Champions League is very difficult and we have to expect that every team playing at home are feeling strong. We played with consistency and domination. The last 10 minutes you have to be positive and try and use the players you have and the subs to try and get the victory.”
Unai Emery was also expressing optimism about their standing in the league.
Unai Emery said “Today we were thinking if we won we could be a contender in the last two matches to be in the top eight. We achieved this option and we are going to try and get top eight. We are happy because we are in the top 24.”
He spoke about the substitutions and specific performances in the game.
Unai Emery said “The idea when we prepare the game the plan is also for the subs to help if we needed it. Watkins had a small injury and Duran scores. Buendia and Barkley scoring the third goal. This is what any coach would want.”
Unai Emery discussed Jhon Duran’s attributes and performance.
Unai Emery said “Sometimes he is very impatient and we have to try and keep balanced with him. He scored a great goal and he works and we are trying to get the team strong with a tactical approach. His potential is massive.”
