Aston Villa Midfielder Impressed by Unai Emery’s Impact
Amadou Onana, a midfielder for Aston Villa, has been pleasantly surprised by the improvements in his game since joining the team under the guidance of Unai Emery. Despite a rocky start to his first season at Villa following a £50m transfer from Everton, Onana has shown promise with three goals in the club’s early away matches. However, injuries hindered his progress from November to March, but he has since bounced back and featured in all of Villa’s last eight league games.
Onana has started four times in this recent period, during which Emery’s side has won seven games and kept five clean sheets. After a tough loss to Manchester City, Villa responded with three consecutive victories against Fulham, Bournemouth, and Tottenham in their pursuit of a spot in the Champions League. Onana’s standout performance against Bournemouth earned him another start in place of the injured Youri Tielemans, showcasing his growing importance to the team.
The victory over Spurs propelled Villa into the Champions League positions, setting the stage for a crucial final weekend of the campaign. Onana remains focused on the task at hand, emphasizing the team’s hunger for success and the healthy competition within the squad. He praises Emery for his meticulous attention to detail and credits the manager for pushing him to new heights as a player. As Villa celebrates its 150th anniversary, fans can show their support with a new merch collection featuring commemorative items like shirts, hoodies, and books.
