A biography for Unai Emeryhasn’t been written yet.
“I know how you can feel when you are playing under pressure.”
“My concentration with players is the next match, focus only to work for the next match and how we can win.”
“My first target is not to win: it's to develop young players with our work. That was my first idea when I started as a coach, because with this work come results.”
“I know my ambition and my passion and to know how I want to grow up with Arsenal.”
“Our demands are very high, very great, but I want to ask every player every day to give us more.”
“Every player has their challenge to help the team. They all have a challenge individually and collectively to improve.”
“PSG has got a solid project. Neymar wants to improve and grow with the club.”
“To become a good coach, you need to win a lot.”
“You need confidence to play under pressure.”
“I'm not the kind of coach who says, 'Let's do a few piggy-in-the-middle exercises and go home for lunch.'”
“We all need to give 100%, and that's what I'm looking for from every player and myself.”
“The Premier League is very difficult.”
“Success is to improve, grow up, build one team with personality, and then I want to win.”
“Arsenal was in a decline. We had to stop this and begin climbing.”
“Each player has this quality, this characteristic to help the team as a collective. For me, that is very important.”
“Before Wenger came, Arsenal celebrated 1-0 and were based on defensive solidity. With Arsene, joy came from attacking, with players of good standing. And the perfect combination was the Invincibles. But over time, only technical quality and offensive freedom were taken care of, losing the defensive structure.”
“My dad always said you have to value and respect the responsibility you've been given. When I coach, I take that responsibility seriously because I know people have trusted in me, and there are thousands of supporters whose emotions are bound up in what we do.”
“Fans want their emotions to come to the surface. How? By their team transmitting intensity, attacking, scoring goals, competing, winning. That awakens them.”
“I was a second-division B player, and I've had to work very hard. I tell the players, 'The moment we stop working hard on this, as soon as we stop dedicating hours to this, we'll fall.'”
“When I'm asked to define football, I always talk about emotions, the heart, love. It's something you feel deep down inside when you enter a stadium, raise your eyes, and look at the stands, the fans coming in.”
