@FreddyLA7 Go to a UPS store and ship some stuff back home so you don’t have to carry it around. 🫡

🎙️ “You’ve succeeded in Spain, France, and now in the Premier League with Aston Villa. How do you manage to achieve that?”

🗣️ “Above all, I have been fortunate enough to work in places where I was able to learn.”

[Talks about Valencia, Sevilla and Villarreal]

(At 1:05)
“In England, I’ve been at a historic club like Aston Villa, which had gone many years without success —since they were European Cup winners in 1982, the modern Champions League— and had barely played in Europe or won trophies since then.”

“Being able to combine my own experience and coaching process to bring out maximum competitiveness at Aston Villa has been made possible thanks to a magnificent team, a brilliant project and full support.”

“And then, there is a city [Birmingham] full of hunger and ambition. So, above all, I am grateful to all the clubs where they made me a winner; I tried to contribute my own small part.”

West Virginia’s crowd is insane…

There’s literally more people outside the stadium than inside today.

Take it all in, West Virginia 💛

For the first time ever, those country roads lead straight to Omaha‼️

[Trey Wallace @TreyWallace]

I know we get lost in the chaos of NIL and the transfer portal

But, listening to West Virginia’s Armani Guzman, a young man from New York, singing ‘Country Roads’ is so darn wholesome.

When Unai Emery took over at Aston Villa in November of 2022, they were 14th and just 3 points above the relegation zone.

They won 15 of their remaining league games to finish 7th & qualify for the UEFA Conference, from there they finished 4th in the 2023/24 season, making it into the Champions League whilst simultaneously reaching the Conference League semi-finals.

Last season, they made it to a Champions League quarter-final where they were pitted against Luis Enrique’s eventual winners PSG, only losing 5-4 on aggregate after a 3-2 second leg victory at Villa Park. They finished 6th in the Premier League, missing out on Champions League football on goal difference alone, whilst also making it to an FA Cup semi-final where they were beaten by eventual winners Crystal Palace.

This season, they are sat 4th in the Premier League with one game still to play, having guaranteed their place in next season’s Champions League with a win over Liverpool prior to the final weekend. They’ve also won the Europa League with a dominant performance over Freiburg in the final, making it five Europa Leagues triumphs for Unai Emery in just 12 years at three different clubs.

The journey he has taken them on across his 3.5 years in charge is ridiculous.
