00:00We'll work our way around as many people as possible in the room, taking questions in both Spanish and English.
00:08If you raise your hand, please, and when we come to you, just give us your name, in the name
00:14of the publication you work for, please.
00:29Good evening, coach in Switzerland.
00:32Sorry.
00:33Alain Horbach, Blue Sports TV, Switzerland.
00:36In our country, we have now a Manzombi mania since this summer with the World Cup.
00:44And yes, Villapark, after just a few months, already seems to love him just as much.
00:52Sorry.
00:52And you, Mr. Emery, what do you particularly appreciate about you and Manzombi?
00:59And in your opinion, which position on the pitch best suits his qualities?
01:06Good evening.
01:09Manzombi is a young talent, so how he's progressing, how he's adapting to us is really very good.
01:19He has qualities, skills, he has mentality.
01:27And his progression is being well.
01:31And now he's getting better understanding how we want to play.
01:38And he can play being versatile in different positions in attacking third.
01:47So now how he's playing, how he's showing his qualities is something we are building.
01:59And, of course, it's still a work to do to get more.
02:03Thank you very much.
02:33Good evening.
02:35Well, it's always a pleasure to come here to Barcelona to play against Barcelona or against Espanyol.
02:39That means that we are in the elite.
02:43So, Barcelona is the favorite for winning this competition.
02:48We can take five teams with the hand and one of them is Barcelona.
02:54How can you pass the previous phase to enter in the next eliminatoria?
03:00So, for that, between the eight firsts, it's a competition new in that sense.
03:06And you have to avoid surprises.
03:08So, there are moments in the season where you are creating, building, building, doing a path.
03:17but having clear that the second part of the season is where they have to decide the things.
03:25But if in the first part you leave some things, well, you don't arrive.
03:29So, that's what the teams favoritos for this competition are taking into account.
03:34So, Barcelona now has 6 points, another 9.
03:37They have lost a game against PSG.
03:40A level tactical, playing against PSG is what the PSG demand and what you are able to demand.
03:46At the end it was a team of two-to-to-to-to-to.
03:48And in that team of two-to-to-to-to, the two favorites, maybe the most favorites for this competition,
03:54well, he decided to go from the PSG, playing in the stadium, with that advantage that can also have the
04:03game in Paris.
04:05And against the Real Madrid, well, it was a different part.
04:09It was a different play.
04:10The tactical plan of the Real Madrid was different than the PSG.
04:14It was also here.
04:14So, we have to find our personality, and we have to be able to play with our plan of play,
04:20with our qualities,
04:22to get out of the maximum from the collective to the individual.
04:27We are a team that is organized, we are a team that is able to get out of our qualities
04:31within a generic context.
04:33And at the same time, the Barcelona will be able to exigir.
04:36And how many we can adapt and confront ourselves, then it is the game.
04:41But it's going to be different from PSG, from Real Madrid, and we have to do it our own.
04:50Good evening, John Townley from the Birmingham Mail.
04:53A question for John, please.
04:55Have you ever been to this stadium before?
04:59Once, and I actually checked yesterday because I used to go on my holidays in PortAventura, in Salou,
05:07and I was here for the stadium tour the day that Riccardo Caresma signed for Barcelona.
05:13So, I think I was eight years old, and I remember it as the day Caresma signed for Barcelona.
05:19So, I've never been since, but tomorrow night I'll be excited to represent Aston Villa on the biggest stage.
05:34Hi John, John Murray, BBC.
05:36When you came to speak to us just before the Super Cup, you were talking about how excited you were
05:41about what you called Villa 2.0, I think.
05:44How do you think it's going?
05:46Slightly better than what some people envisaged.
05:51But I've got to give credit to the new players.
05:54It was a very, very difficult start.
05:57A lot of change, a lot of information that they had to take in.
06:01But they've adapted well.
06:02I think they realise the structure that we've built in the four years that the manager's been here gives players
06:10the best possible chance to show their capacity.
06:15And I think we're seeing that with some of the new players playing with much more confidence, but most importantly,
06:20playing for the team.
06:22And our success over the past four years is no one player is bigger than the other.
06:27We play as a team, we defend as a team, and we attack as a team.
06:33The new players are taking a lot of information on board, and we're starting to gel as a team.
06:38It's very exciting, but we need to keep going.
06:41We have a demanding manager, demanding coaching staff who won't let us stop and be comfortable.
06:50A question for Unai, Charlie Wyatt from The Sun.
06:53Could you reflect on some of your experiences in games here in Barcelona,
06:58and are they of any use at all when you will talk to the players ahead of this game?
07:12Usually, in my experiences, they were giving me a lot of information to learn, to get better, to try to
07:25identify for the next matches I am facing.
07:31And with the players, we're speaking about our experiences together.
07:36So, we have our experiences in Europe, in the Champions League two years ago.
07:42This year, how we are playing as well in the Champions League.
07:46We played three matches and we won three matches, and we did our work fantastic.
07:50Tomorrow, we are facing one of the favorite teams to win this competition.
07:55So, the challenge is a huge challenge tomorrow.
07:59Maybe for this Champions League is the match more difficult we are going to face tomorrow against Barcelona here.
08:06But we are confident in how we are building the team, how we are competing, how we are getting our
08:14experiences,
08:15how we are facing teams like Barcelona in Premier League and in Champions League competition.
08:22Even in Europe League, you can play as well matches last year against teams like Barcelona.
08:28So, how we are here progressing, understanding our way, setting our demands, being competing in the level we are, to
08:38keep this level, this is the challenge we have.
08:41And tomorrow, the experience we are going to use collectively is our own experiences and try to get another experience
08:51tomorrow here.
08:52How they are going to feel the players on the field, how we are going to feel collectively comfortable more
08:59or less, confident more or less,
09:01with our capacity to respond in their demands, collectively and individually.
09:07So, it's a really excited match we will play tomorrow.
09:15It's Mike Taylor from BBC Midlands.
09:17John, for you and those of your teammates who were there in the Championship days,
09:23you've kind of had the same journey as a lot of the fans that I know you're very close to.
09:27They've got a tremendous excitement, not surprisingly, about coming to a place like this.
09:32Do you share that feeling with them?
09:38You would lie and say no.
09:40But of course, I'm 32 years old, but the trajectory of this club is allowing me to dream the same
09:48way I dreamed since I was 9, 10, 11.
09:51To play in front of the biggest crowds in the biggest arenas.
09:56And obviously, this is a very historic stadium.
10:00But what the club are trying to do now is make this normal, make this a yearly experience,
10:07and make Aston Villa compete with the best in England and the best in Europe.
10:11So, it's a pleasure to be on this journey with the supporters.
10:15I'm sure they'll enjoy tonight and tomorrow.
10:19But us as professionals, we'll only enjoy the experience if we have three points,
10:23and that's what we'll be trying to do tomorrow.
10:29Hello.
10:30Hello.
10:31I'm here, I'm here to your right.
10:32I'm of Catalonia Radio.
10:34You said that you have a favorite part of the Barça,
10:36but how have you seen its evolution since the first day of the Flick team?
10:40It's true that it has lots of lows behind, that you have suffered behind the last part of the past.
10:45Do you see a team, between that and the lows, more vulnerable than the beginning of the season?
10:49Thank you very much.
11:19So, the favoritism of Barcelona is for the present and for the fact in this last decade.
11:26So, now, how can they confirm that favoritism?
11:31It's playing in their best version.
11:33Playing in their best version, they are capable of batting a cualquier team.
11:40Now, how are they enfrenting a rival of that high level that they will have to face to win this
11:47competition?
11:48Well, we are talking about those examples, that one is PSG, playing in their field.
11:54It was a game that, at the moment, is equal, very open, playing in Paris.
12:00So, always, the side of the game with your public, well, perhaps, decant the balance to do something more and
12:08be able to have more winners or more winners or more winners than the porter.
12:12But it was a game that was a very high level of Barcelona and PSG.
12:18And the game against Real Madrid was also a game that was a different, different, against Real Madrid.
12:23It was also a game that was a game that was a game that was a game that was a
12:30game that was a game that will be played in Paris.
12:36and this Barcelona will play as well, and will have the players individually of that level to mark differences.
12:42The fichage of Rodri comes to that direction.
12:44We can talk about the best centrocampist in the world.
12:48And, joining with Pedri, joining with Fermín, with Olme,
12:51they have a centrocampo that is very difficult to equal.
12:55And then, at the point of attack, there are three players
12:59that have few teams that have that level in the attack.
13:03Also, from the porteria, how they are capable of building the team,
13:07how they are capable of playing a duel in the whole field,
13:12and keeping the line high and being able to raise the value to that,
13:16that is something that is the flag of Flick.
13:18But these years they have done it.
13:20So, we are a team that we are trying to find a way,
13:27a way consistent to Europe, to Champions League.
13:32Four years that we have together there, we have played Champions League,
13:36we are capable of playing octavos, no, cuartos,
13:39sorry, against the PSG hace two years.
13:41Well, we are constantly looking for new retos
13:45and how we are capable of responding to the teams like Barcelona tomorrow.
13:49So, tomorrow we will see how we are capable of facing them
13:52and see what distance we are.
13:54Now, they are favourites, and that we understand,
13:57and from there, we do our way.
14:00But the Barcelona, lógicamente,
14:01everything that no is going to win,
14:03for them is something that will always make them daño,
14:07like to all of them,
14:07but maybe they, being favourites for winning the league
14:10or being favourites for winning the Champions
14:11with other four teams,
14:13they, lógicamente, have that greater need.
14:15And there are many players here,
14:16they, the fans,
14:16and they do not have any kind of players.
14:17If not, they are not that.
14:19Well, we do not have to win all the games.
14:21So, you want to win all the games,
14:30you think it,
14:31you're going to win,
14:31and you're going to win all the games
14:33And you're looking for the end,
14:37you are going to win for the game.
14:40And then, you go to the limit,
14:42you will never miss out to win.
14:43You're going to win the game.
14:43If not, you will be a winner of the game,
14:43the game is going to be.
14:44Because you are going to win.
14:45where you can find the maximum point of what it is to be the best player in the world.
14:52You need details, but it leads to that direction.
14:55But then he has a very complete team, with young players,
14:58who have a tremendous potential and will have to have to accumulate experiences
15:02to be able to be consagrated, but that are already made and played to this level.
15:10And then he has players who give a great personality to this team.
15:13I would like to talk about Rodri and Rafinha.
15:17His base is very strong.
15:19Then Cancelo is playing a very high level.
15:22The Porto has been consagrated in the porterhouse.
15:24They have Gordon, who gives a tremendous speed and a lot of work on the left side.
15:29They have a player of enlaces like Pedri, Fermín,
15:35for different things, too, from high level.
15:38So, I see that Barcelona and I see that here has been a Barcelona
15:43of Guardiola, of Luis Enrique, of Messi, of Neymar and Suárez.
15:49But now they are in the process, even with the stadium.
15:52The stadium will also be a new stadium, in the same place,
15:56that will give another plus more to this Barcelona,
15:59that it has already been in the same place.
16:01So, what's the name?
16:01Thank you very much.
16:02Thank you very much.
16:06Thank you very much.
16:07Thank you very much.
16:07I would like to ask, in the line of what he said...
16:10Yes.
16:12How much?
16:12In the line of what he said,
16:36We haven't actually been talking about anyone in particular, they have world class players and they're starting to live in
16:44world class.
16:47We have played against Cancelo, Rafinha, Anthony Gordon, Rodri in the Premier League and we experienced their qualities. Not only
16:58do they possess amazing ability, the thing that impressed me most with all players was their humility to work for
17:07the team.
17:07And I think that's the biggest credit when we watch Barcelona, they all work hard for the team. They seem
17:15to have maybe more togetherness than what they've had maybe some years ago.
17:24But we haven't had the time to speak about this match. We were focusing on a busy schedule and we
17:32recovered Sunday and we travelled today.
17:34So we'll respect the players they have, players who can hurt us from anywhere on the pitch, world class players.
17:41But we have our own players who can cause damage to Barcelona as well.
17:48Thank you, everyone.
17:50Oh, on you go, John.
17:55Hi, John Percy, Telegraph.
17:57It's a question for Unai.
17:58Unai, you've obviously managed for over a thousand games, enjoyed so much success in your career.
18:02Can you ever remember a game like the one here ten years ago in La Rammantada?
18:07I mean, it was a remarkable game.
18:09What are your memories of that and what did you take from that as a manager?
18:13One more.
18:15One more.
18:16One much more.
18:18Everything happening in that match, we know.
18:23I learned in my career, I am coaching.
18:28I started in 2006, 20 years, no, 2004, 22 years in a row.
18:37I'm playing in Europe 60 years in a row, different competition, Champions League, EuroLeague or Conference League.
18:47And I've learned in all the competition, in the matches.
18:51And in that match, I have learned so, so much.
18:54One, sports side.
18:55And another, not a sports side.
19:00The necessary B.A.R. for football in that moment.
19:04The necessary B.A.R.
19:07Thanks, everyone.
19:10See you tomorrow.
19:11Hasta mañana.
19:15See you tomorrow.
