"When you see how the team is playing, you clearly see how they want to play, what they want to do in possession, what they want to do out of possession, how quick they are in transition with their players in offence there is a clear structure in their game, over 100 minutes, always. And this is the responsibility of Unai Emery.

"It's not just that he shows it now at Villa, he showed it in all the clubs before. I don't know how often he won the Europa League, he was in the semi-finals with Villarreal in the Champions League.

"He is a great manager and he does an excellent, outstanding job at Villa.

"When they go from 17th to 4th we are now 12th, so we should be better than first! We will make the same steps I expect us winning the Premier League next season, definitely!!"
