Emery on Onana, 'a new era' and 'positive' pressure
Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's Europa League final against Freiburg in Istanbul (kick-off 20:00 BST). Here are the key lines from his news conference: A decision on Amadou Onana's fitness will be made on Wednesday. Emery confirmed the midfielder trained on Monday and is expected to train later on Tuesday.
Emery said this is "a new moment and hopefully, a new era" for the club. On managing the pressure: "We must try to understand the pressure as something positive not negative and the pressure is when you are playing for something important. " He believes they "have played enough matches in Europe" to take the final step and win a European trophy as "those experiences are very important".
More on the possibility of winning: "This is a new challenge we have together. We are confident. The players are here because they deserve it.
" He wants his side "to play with personality and with confidence" and to do that they "have to play with intensity". On their difficult Premier League start and now finishing on a high: "We started so poor at the beginning of the season for different reasons, but how the players responded in difficult moments was amazing. I was very worried – trying to find solutions.
" He said they overcame that by being "mature, responsible and professional" and said "this is the consequence" of their hard work and sticking together.
