Senior coach Unai Emery of Aston Villa was still basking in their away win over Brentford when he gave a revealing statement ahead of Aston Villa’s match with Sheffield United recently.

Men from Aston Villa thrashed those from Brentford with a memorable 1-2 defeat, but Unai Emery is not prepared to let his squad loosen their belts.

Speaking to Aston Villa’s press following the shiny exploit, Emery said the following:

‘Let’s keep going. Even when we lost in Nottingham Forest we were trying to send the same message: keep going, move on.

‘When we were drawing in Bournemouth it was a very good point but it was not enough to be 100% comfortable. Today we won and we’re happy we completed the match winning those three points.

‘We are moving on because on Friday we will face Sheffield at home and it’s a new challenge. We have to try to keep consistent across 38 matches.

‘We are in day 17 with two matches before we complete the first half of the season. We have to be consistent.

‘I’m very happy. It’s really very difficult to win away and a lot of things happened in 90 minutes.

‘After the first half when we were losing, in the dressing room we were speaking about how we could improve some things we didn’t do well in the first half.

‘Overall, we were controlling the game, getting into their box and creating some chances. We conceded two or three chances to them and we needed to avoid it.

‘In the second half, we were progressively controlling the game and when they received the red card we pushed a little more. We came back and got the result, and I think we deserved it.’

Aston Villa clashes with men from Sheffield United on the December 22 in what is expected to be a hot competition. Unai Emery’s mentality, if adopted by others, could see them win with flying colours.
