Eston Villa’s manager Uni Emri is recalling the possibility of taking Paris St.-Germen in the quarter-finals of the Champions League as the English pre-winners want to end the discovery of the French side for the continental glory. “Eston Villa is a historic club that won the European Cup in 1982 and is certainly very special in football,” Emery said on the first phase of the first phase at a press conference in Paris on Tuesday. “I knew this history when I reached the villa two-and-a-half years ago. Of course my challenge was to compete for trophies, and was to return to Europe. Being in the Champions League is really amazing but maintaining stability is the next challenge.
“Playing Champions League quarter-finals in Paris is actually special for everyone associated with Villa, but we want to do so continuously at this level.”
Villa reduced the previous club brue to reach the last eight, finishing an impressive eighth place during the league stage of the competition.
Facing a PSG side that excluded Liverpool on penalty in the final round promised to have a very difficult test for the villa.
“I think Liverpool was a favorite before playing PSG and PSG defeated him playing brilliant football,” Emery said, who coached the French champion from 2016 to 2018.
“Now perhaps Real Madrid, with Bayern Munich and Barcelona, PSG is favorite (to win the Champions League).
“This is a big challenge for me and the players, but we feel confident.”
Emery said that he felt Marcus rashford The pitch was rejoicing again and was playing with freedom after joining the villa on the loan from Manchester United in the winter transfer window.
The 27 -year -old Rashford has three goals and four assistance in 12 demonstrations for Villa and a lineage against PSG in European competition.
He created an important stoppage-time penalty by defeating PSG 3–1 in Parc Des Princes in 2019, so that he could win the final-16 tie on distant balls.
Rashford also hit a late winner in Paris when the Old Trafford Club won 2–1 in a group-step competition in 2020, played behind the closed doors during the epidemic.
“I think he is playing independently and feeling comfortable, and that’s most important thing,” Emery said.
“We see him smiling and this is the best news that we can have.”
Emri was also full of praise for her opposite number of Luis Enrich, as two Spanys renewed acquaintances in the competition.
“He is one of the best coaches in the world. I have faced him many times and it is always difficult,” Emery said.
Emri was in charge of PSG when he lost to Barcelona of Louis Enrique in the Champions League in 2017, going down 6–1 in return after winning 4–0 at home in the first phase.
