Aston Villa Boss Unai Emery Talks About Europa League

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery says not winning the Europa League is not a failure.

Aston Villa were expected to win the Europa League, but they are struggling against Nottingham Forest, losing 1-0 in the first leg.

There may be changes at Villa Park this summer, and some think this is the end for the current team.

Emery says his team can still do more, and one game will not define their season.

Emery said, 'We are improving, and I am improving too.' 'We are getting better with the club and players.'

Emery said, 'We will set new challenges after tomorrow.' 'Tomorrow is not our last chance.'

Emery said, 'The players enjoy the process and know football is difficult.' 'We have had great moments at Aston Villa and can be proud.'

Emery said, 'We are demanding and consistent.' 'One game will not change our thinking or process.'

Emery said, 'Reaching the semifinal is a big achievement.' 'Winning a trophy is very difficult.' 'Not winning is not a defeat.' 'It is very, very difficult to win a trophy.'

Emery said, 'We must keep going and improving.' 'Only one team can win, and we have an opportunity now.'

Emery said, 'Before the first leg, we had a 25% chance of winning.' 'Now it is less because we lost.'

Emery said, 'We have a 50% chance of playing in the final.' 'We must respect all teams in Europe.'

Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in 10 games and have a 1-0 lead after Chris Wood's penalty.

Emery thinks Nottingham Forest are the favorites.

Emery said, 'Tomorrow's game is special and different.' 'We are playing at home, but they have the advantage.' 'For this reason, they are the favorites.' 'We are playing in Villa Park.' 'They have the advantage.' 'This is why they are the favorites.'

Emery said, 'We have a big chance to enjoy competing and the momentum.'

Aston Villa were booed after losing to Tottenham, where Emery made many changes for Thursday's game.

John McGinn missed the Tottenham game but will be available for Thursday.

Emery said, 'John McGinn trained normally and will be available if nothing changes.'

Amadou Onana is hurt from the first leg, and Ross Barkley and Alysson cannot play.
