Unai Emery and Aston Villa: Inside a stunning transformation

New York Times  

In the refurbished gym at Aston Villa’s training ground, players are regularly put through their paces, spend time building up their strength and flexibility and develop the team bond that is such a key part of their incredible current form. This is how Villa turned their form and fortunes around, including how: Emery warned players to never make the same mistakes after previous Arsenal defeat He compiled a dossier on each player before joining, calling on his backroom staff to put together clips Players noted a transformation between training under previous boss Steven Gerrard and Emery The squad were pushed through pain barriers in pre-season A ‘best-in-class’ mentality has emerged throughout the club Co-owner Nassef Sawiris was recently pitchside and clapped every player off the pitch Emery takes training ground staff out for meals Villa’s overall infrastructure has been improved. Seconds away from becoming the only manager in Villa’s 149-year history to win 15 successive home league games, Emery raised both hands in the air and outwards, cranking the crowd’s volume even higher. This was also reflected in Villa’s recruitment, where Emery and Vidagany made concerted efforts not to be content with signing “second-rate” players for the sake of it. In January, Emery’s first window with the club, Villa wanted to give him the freedom to recruit and sanctioned the Spaniard’s priority target — experienced Real Betis full-back Alex Moreno.
