Unai Emery discusses his stellar success at Aston Villa

Tom Dunstan
Gaining a string of plaudits since arriving at Aston Villa last year, Unai Emery has briefly discussed his remarkable success in the Midlands.  

Consistency is key for Emery and Villa

While Aston Villa might have watched their Premier League purple patch come to an abrupt end away at Nottingham Forest last weekend as they fell to a 2-0 loss, the mood in Emery’s camp should still be at a red-hot high. Really flying out of the traps since opening up the new campaign, some have even tipped Villa as a potential top-four contender this season. Gaining a fearsome reputation for their continued success in the Midlands, the former Arsenal boss has only been filled with praise for his squad’s approach this season. Securing a Europa Conference League ticket last season and really impressing on the European stage, Villa will be relishing a return to domestic action on Sunday afternoon. Ahead of a meeting against Fulham this weekend, Emery has been discussing why he strives for consistency in the Midlands and his approach behind the scenes.

“I am always trying to be consistent with my plan and trying to be better today than yesterday, and tomorrow better than today.”

Aston Villa make European history

While Aston Villa might have watched their Premier League flurry come to an end away at Nottingham Forest last weekend, Emery’s men certainly claimed an immediate response on the European stage in midweek. Mounting a second-half comeback at home against Dutch outfit AZ Alkmaar on Thursday night as they eventually secured a 2-1 victory, Emery’s side are now sat in pole position to punch their knockout stage ticket. With many feeling that Villa have a golden chance to mount a genuine Europa Conference League charge this season, Thursday’s 2-1 win also writes them into the history books. Riding what has been a famous wave of momentum in the Midlands, Villa have been installed as a runaway contender with the bookmakers.
