Unai Emery review your stage in the PSG (2016-2018) in an interview published on Tuesday by the magazine France Football, in which I admitted that I missed the opportunity to be the best in the world. The coach, currently without a team, won seven titles in France, including a league and three cups, but failed “for details” in the Champions League.

“In Paris I was able to become the best coach in the world. I let out the occasion”, admitted Emery, who attributed to the arbitration the elimination of his team in the knockout stages of the Champions League in the two years that they enter the Parque de los Prncipes, against Barcelona and against Real Madrid.

The technician considered that in the first year, the first leg in Paris was “high level” and ended with a 4-0 in his favor. “On the return they eliminated us because there is no VAR still (6-1), they clearly eliminated us by arbitration decisions, “he said.” The second year, against Madrid, we lost against a team that signed a historic triplet and, even so, in the first leg we will have to talk about arbitration also “, he added.

“The requirement to win”

The coach said that going from Seville to PSG was “climbing a step or more” because I learned “the requirement to win obligatorily”. But he acknowledged that he had many problems to impose his speech on the squad, to which were added the injuries of some of his most important players like Neymar before the return against Madrid. “After ten minutes (of the second leg) I already realized that we were not qualifying”sure.

Emery claimed that It was he who convinced Neymar to sign for the PSG with the speech that they will make a team that will revolve around him. He indicated that the Brazilian needed time and “is now fully showing his true worth.” “He is an easy player to train. He loves football and has a good heart (…) If you are happy in Paris, if you work, if people understand you, you can be the best player in the world in the PSG“, indicated.

The technician criticized the attitude of Kylian Mbapp of facing his current coach, Thomas Tuchel, after being changed two weeks ago: “He's a good boy, but he's ambitious. That ego that comes out and shows publicly is not good for your image and shows that he does not control his emotions. “Emery was convinced that the PSG can win the Champions League this season but, if he does not succeed, he assures that the Catares owners” will not abandon “until they achieve it.
