Unai Emery confesses to’mistake’ and promises Aston Villa ahead of…

 

Aston Villa news from BirminghamLive as Unai Emery acknowledges he made a tactical blunder during the team’s loss to Legia Warsaw. Unai Emery owns up to “mistake” and makes a commitment to the team ahead of the Chelsea match.

Unai Emery has acknowledged that his team’s loss against Legia Warsaw on Thursday night was the result of a tactical error.

When Legia scored their third goal early in the second half, Villa, which had twice come back from deficits in the first half, was unable to answer. After Villa fell behind in the first few minutes of the game, Jhon Duran scored his fourth goal of the year to tie the score in the sixth minute. Lucas Digne then tallied the game’s last goal before halftime after Ernest Muci scored his first goal of the evening.

Legia had a legitimate threat in Muci, who scored twice to give his team a merited lead after the break. After experiencing loss in Warsaw, Villa missed several opportunities to gain something from the game and returned to Birmingham on Thursday night empty-handed.

Emery was questioned about his thoughts on Thursday night’s loss ahead of the team’s Premier League matchup with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Of course, I’m drawing on my experiences in Europe, and I play a lot of games during the week, he remarked. The team is currently being formed.

 

Losing was not what we wanted, but it was a possibility. Lenglet and other players who have recently joined us are examples of people who we need to grow with and attempt to acquire results from. They’ll assist us, but they’ll also have to play and work beyond the required 11, 12, and 15 hours. 20, 22, and 25 players are required. Tyrone Mings, Emi Buendia, and Diego Carlos have all suffered injuries, along with other people.

We made some mistakes, not typically tactical ones, but I chatted with the players and it was a minor accident, said Emery. We will review yesterday’s errors and take appropriate action to correct them.

The players are also very eager for the Conference League, in which we will play five more games. All of yesterday’s events served as opportunities for learning and team building. There was a little tactical error, and it is up to me to fix it.
