00:01Aston Villa's push for a strong finish to the season
00:04has suddenly come under greater scrutiny
00:07following their disappointing defeat at Molineux.
00:10For manager Unai Emre, the result was a reminder
00:13that momentum can quickly shift in the Premier League.
00:17Villa have been building a reputation
00:19as one of the league's most organised and difficult teams to beat,
00:23but the performance at Wolves lacked the control and cutting edge
00:27that has often defined Emre's tenure.
00:30Thankful for our supporters to be here with us in the Derby.
00:35And always here is very difficult.
00:37Every match we play here, we lost three times and we draw one.
00:43But even losing here the last three years,
00:47we achieved our objective.
00:49And of course we are frustrated, but can happen.
00:53How we played the first half was really fantastic.
00:57And we didn't score, but we created chances to score,
01:00enough chances to score.
01:01And we dominated, we didn't concede.
01:03And the second half, when they scored, the match changed completely.
01:08And we tried, but the rhythm was stopping always.
01:11And it was difficult to keep the rhythm and try to dominate again,
01:15to create chances.
01:16We did, because we had created one chance that Madhu Nane,
01:18and he didn't score for the draw.
01:21And at the end we lost.
01:23But now is the moment, the support and everybody be together.
01:28And we need them.
01:30And I am so motivated.
01:32I am so excited.
01:35There is little time to dwell on the setback.
01:37The closing stretch of the season now carries significant weight,
01:41particularly with rivals continuing to collect important results.
01:45Villa remain firmly in contention for a high finish,
01:48yet the margin for error is shrinking with each passing fixture.
01:52Great teams like Arsenal, Manchester City, now no.
01:57And Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool.
02:00Of course, they have a huge power and they need to be in our position.
02:08It's their target, clearly.
02:10But we are competing fantastic.
02:12We are being consistent.
02:13Even now, when we are losing today, we must react.
02:17And we must as well to tell our supporters,
02:21to say our supporters we need them.
02:23And we must be together.
02:24And we must achieve our objective,
02:27creating a great atmosphere in Villa Park,
02:29a great atmosphere here because they were here with us.
02:32What makes the situation more pressing is the expectation
02:36that Villa have raised around themselves this season.
02:39Strong performances, tactical clarity and an ability to compete
02:42with the league's top sides have positioned them
02:44as genuine contenders in the race for Europe.
02:47Maintaining that standard over the final run-in is now the challenge.
02:52Supporters will be looking for a swift response in the coming matches,
02:56both in performance and results.
02:59It's a very good thing.
02:59And when Iaría to be helping you.
03:00I'm not gonna be helping you.
03:00And I'll wait to see you seren신ix.
