Unai Emery

“When I was a player, all the pressures I felt created a lot of anxiety in me. I didn't know how to manage that on my own. I think I was missing someone - a manager, no doubt - who could teach me to control my emotions.”

“How do you develop? I think that's about battling for every title. That's something that is in Arsenal's history, and it's in my history as well. And I want that to continue.”

“I respect a lot the players: their hair and their hair colour.”

“I am very demanding of myself.”

“PSG signed me for my CV, for what I've achieved in the Europa League, how I've grown as a manager, and how I've made players grow. I'm essentially here because I have a winning record.”

“Arsenal is known and loved throughout the world for its style of play, its commitment to young players, the fantastic stadium, the way the club is run.”

“For every game we play, I might have spent 12 hours working on the video alone. In an hour, the players have to understand everything you have seen in 12 hours.”

“When I work with players, whether their level is higher or lower, for me the most important thing is to know the person, what is in their heart.”

“Implication is a cumulative process that generates union in the team and mutual respect. Either we all work, or let's just burst the ball.”

“I think, in football, you need to be competitive. You need quality. You need to be organised and to push.”

“I need to continue reading books, and I like to learn about different people in the world, different people with success in and outside of football.”

“Every coach wants to win, but it's not easy to do that.”

“There's a decision each match. I decide how we are going to play, and it depends on the opposition 30 per cent, their structure, and 70 per cent is for us.”

“Usually, I don't look behind; every day, I'm looking at the next matches - what's in front.”

“I like to make a tour round the pitch before games to look at the architecture, the colours in the stadium, the sky, to feel the atmosphere growing.”

“Wherever I've been, I've tried to soak up the essence of the club, the town, and to transmit that to the players.”

“We need to push. We need to have ambition. We need to have desire to improve every day.”

“In my career, I do not stop for news when it's not true.”

“My idea is to know every player and to know, also, the personality of the players.”
