Tuesday evening, Paris Saint-Germain will have to validate its place in the semi-finals against Aston Villa, in its own stadium. The Parisians, victorious 3-1 at the Parc des Princes, have every chance of seeking qualification, but the Villans do not want to be put down. In front of their audience, Unai Emery's team will have to achieve a hell of a feat to overthrow one of the favorites for the final coronation in the Champions League, and the Spanish coach dreams of bringing down his old club.
“Our goal is to play with a solid plan, to be consistent and to understand how the match takes place in 90 minutes. When we won in Bruges, we were ready to play extensions. Our plan is that if we have an extension and a penalty shootout, then it's fantastic. Of course, the fact that they won 3-1 changes something. But a lot? No. For what ? Because we have to win. But now we have to win with one more goal ”he first let go of the media.
Unai Emery believes in La Rontada
Faced with his former club, with which he also suffered the terrible disillusionment against FC Barcelona at Camp Nou (6-1) in 2017, the 53-year-old technician counts on public support: “PSG has a great experience in matches outside. They play in France and Europe, and we too. More or less, if we do good things in the field, tactically and individually, supporters will increase our energy and help us a lot. They will always transmit this energy to our players ”he then added.
Before returning to this raising that he lived with the Parisians: “I have the experience of returning matches. Positive and negative. Now it's different. We want to write the story of Aston Villa. Last year in Conference League, this year in the Champions League and, I hope, for the coming years in Europe. We are going to train this afternoon and it is important to see where all the players are ”. Parisians are therefore warned, because the qualification is not yet assured.
