Too soon for Villa to dream: Emery
The Straits Times|October 24, 2024
BIRMINGHAM - Three victories and three clean sheets into Aston Villa's first Champions League campaign in 41 years, the momentum continues to build for the Midlands club but, when asked if fans can start to dream big, manager Unai Emery cautioned not to get carried away.

His side beat Serie A side Bologna 2-0 at a raucous Villa Park on Oct 22, with second-half goals from John McGinn and Jhon Duran, to sit provisionally top of the table – a lofty position fans might not have foreseen when Europe's elite competition kicked off.

“In case we are keeping the same (winning) performance, and getting points through it, of course, we can change our objective and to be the top eight,” Emery said.

“But I want to feel it is like a natural way we are doing it, and not a surprise, because we are playing good… we are being consistent and we are getting points, and we are feeling comfortable.”
