Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has come out to appreciate the club’s loyal supporters. He recently had his say after Villa won the UEFA Europa League following a 3 – 0 victory against Freiburg.
Appreciating the fans for their constant support over the years, Emery stated that he has been able to achieve so much success in the UEL because of the great players at his disposal.
Unai added that rather than feeling like the king of the Europa League, he feels grateful for the opportunity to work with quality footballers.
His words, “I am thankful to [co-owners] Nassef [Sawiris] and Wes [Edens]… they are supporting always. I am thankful to the supporters and I am thankful for the players.
All the times I am successful in this competition I needed good players. Now I am so thankful for the players, they are following our ambitions.
They are protagonists on the field. This is the reason I am not feeling the king in this competition. I am feeling really thankful – we are the kings together.
After 1982 the club won the European Cup, it was something they were missing – the supporters – a trophy. Achieving this one is making us so, so happy but we are not going to stop.”
WOW.
