Unai Emery only moderately appreciated Youri Tielemans’ reaction. When the coach of Aston Villa wanted to bring our compatriot to the side in minute 92, the latter failed. Much to the dismay of his coach. Emery gave Tielemans a firm push towards the bench. After the victory against Fenerbahçe, he covered the incident with the cloak of fatherly love.

What difference would a substitution make in minute 92?

Unai Emery wanted to sacrifice some time with a 0-1 lead against Fenerbahçe. The Aston Villa coach brought Youri Tielemans to the side. The Red Devil was not at all pleased with that.

Tielemans slumped, which his T1 did not appreciate. First he was verbally charged, then a big push towards the couch.

Is there a problem with the coach and his metronome? At the press conference, Emery covered the incident with the cloak of love. “He’s like a son to me,” he said with a smile.

Is this a thing of the past? In any case: the Premier League team took three points from Istanbul and is still co-leader in the Europa League.
