The Villarreal head coach underlined that the team will try and build on the win at the Estadio de la Cerámica in London
Villarreal head coach Unai Emery appeared remotely in front of the media to analyse the Yellows’ win over Arsenal FC (2-1). The head coach was positive about the win against the Gunners: “We need to be positive and be excited. We’ve beaten a good opponent. From tomorrow, we will try and build on the game ahead of next Thursday.”
The Basque manager hailed the work of his team and underlined his view that the referee influenced the game: “We’re still excited, we know it is difficult to get into the semi-finals and we’ve managed to do that. In a game, a lot of things can happen. We knew how to get into dangerous positions. They’re circumstances that you need to experience. They penalty wasn’t a penalty and VAR didn’t do what it should. There were small details that didn’t depend on us. I think VAR needs to step in.”
Finally, Emery underlined that the team will now focus on the upcoming game against Getafe CF: “We’re going to focus on Sunday’s game, although it’s between two important matches. After this tight win, we want to perform like this in the next match. We’re going to continue trying to be at our best.”
