Aston Valley head coach Unai Emery commented on his team’s defeat in the first European League semi-final match against Nottingham Forest (0:1).

" Two years ago we also played in the semifinals of the Conference League against Olympiakos and lost, and last year we reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and this fate is played in the semifinals of the League.

To come for such encouragement is truly fantastic, but the game faces difficulties. Overcoming the final stage is not easy at all. Two fates with Olympiakos, whose fate with Nottingham, and everything that was on the field for 90 rubles, which I got.

Of course,? We could have won, we could have drawn, but the match would have been tense. We played as we planned, and we had little chance of winning. Lost 90 khvilins, another 90 khvilins, and there may be an additional hour and a series of penalties.

I am with Rivnovaz - with good Rivnovaz with the result, the match, the reaction of the players, as well as the encouragement that helps us. Now we can look with optimism at the atmosphere that we can create at Villa Park with our fans together, and hold the match, emanating from the new satisfaction.

It is necessary to enjoy the moment in which we know ourselves, the final stage that we have, and the possibility that presents itself to us in the coming life. Of course, if we don’t win the match, we don’t qualify for the final. “I’m full of motivation and enthusiasm, and I’m in a good mood to play the match at home and try to stick to our game plan,” says Emeri, the club’s press service..
