Aston Valley head coach Unai Emery has outlined the team’s priorities for the remainder of the season. After beating Fenerbahçe (1:0) in Istanbul, Spain’s Fajavet admitted that he expects a win in Liza Europe with a more realistic path to the Champions League, with a lower finish in the top 4 of the English Premier League.

After the recent defeat to Everton, Emery realistically assessed his team’s chances on the home stage, noting that Villa will not make it into the top five bottom teams in England. The emphasis is mainly on competing for the European Cup.

“We have clear goals in this business: to be contenders for the trophy. We want to overcome because we need this trophy to play in the Champions League. It is even difficult for our league. I am eager to be here and achieve trophies, and Europe is one of our goals for this life,” said Emery, for which the match in Turecchyna became the anniversary, the 100th in this tournament.

The hero of the match in Istanbul was Jadon Sancho. The Manchester United winger scored the only goal against the team. This victory became the first for footballer Willie in his 19th game for the club. “Welcome to the manager’s mother, who encourages and trusts you,” the 25-year-old man responded to his success.

Peremoga ensured that the Birmingham side could guarantee a place against all the top teams in the competition stage, allowing them to avoid the most important stick matches against the fiercest. This is an important factor for the team, since the chest has already spent 12 games on the butt.

Emeri also informed about personnel news: Tyrone Mings was brought back from the fall at the start and Amadou Onana returned to the field after an injury. The mentor also encouraged activity during the remaining days of the transfer window to ensure the warehouse was sufficiently stocked for the final months of the season.

Una Emeri was in the mood for football during the Europa League match and was responsible for an emotional altercation with Yuri Tielemans. The Spanish mentor pushed the Belgian loser away, completely depriving him of the field.

The incident added an hour to the match against Turkish side Fenerbahce, which ended with a 1-0 defeat of Aston Valley. This result allowed the Birmingham team to guarantee their place in the 1/8 finals of the tournament. The only goal of the match was scored by Jadon Sancho. As the referee reaches the final hour, Emeri decides to replace Tielemans with 18-year-old academy graduate George Gemmings.

Tielemans walked straight to the line to bring in a substitute, but this seemed to anger the coach. Emeri obviously wants to be put on for an hour and walk more. As the Belgian approached the technical zone, Emery nodded emotionally and pushed the gravel towards the back of the reserves.

This scene raised eyebrows among experts and patients. Colleagues Martin Keown and Joleon Lescott called the coach’s behavior strange and in such a way that it looks unpleasant.

After the match, Unai Emeri tried to smooth over the situation by telling reporters: “You are my son.” The coach also spoke about the importance of victory and exit for the next round, without further explaining his behavior.

Then Aston Villa is in another place in the bottom rankings of the European League and loses to Lyon.

Roma defeated the Danish Midtjylland (2:1) in the match of the fifth round of the main stage of the European League.

Gian Piero Gasperina’s side won the match in seven minutes thanks to the efforts of Nil El-Ainaoui, before Wolves scored a goal from Stefan El-Shaarawi in the 83rd match.

Three days later, the dancers scored one goal, the author of which was Paulin.
