THE UNDERRATED: UNAI EMERY PT 1.
This is the first of the series “THE UNDERRATED”.
Unai Emery was viewed as a mid-coach by many, but he has proven his class to the whole world. Yes, they did not qualify for the Champions League Finals, but he (Unai Emery) carried a small underrated Villarreal to the Champions League Semi Finals, knocking out Europe’s top clubs. This was something that has never been done in the history of the club.
Villarreal which was regarded as a small club in Spain, has shocked the world with their performance in two of Europe’s big competitions, thanks to the work of Unai Emery, who has built a very strong and well blended team.
They showed an out standing performance in the 2020/2021 Europa League Cup, knocking out the likes of Arsenal and other big clubs. They proceeded to the Europa League Final where they beat Manchester United in a penalty shootout to win the cup for the first time in the history of the club. They had a outstanding game records of:
Ø 15 games played
Ø 12 games won
Ø 3 games drawn
Ø 0 game lose
These records show how much work Unai Emery has done and is still doing in Villarreal CF.
Then they went up to the biggest stage in club football, which is known as the Champions League. They had a remarkable group stage performance with;
Ø 6 games played
Ø 3 games won
Ø 1 game drawn
Ø 2 games lose
Ø 2nd in final group stage position
They proceeded to the round of 16 (knockout stages), where They knocked out Italy’s giant and one of Europe’s biggest team, The Old Lady, Juventus. Juventus were knocked out by Villarreal with a aggregate score of, Juventus 1 – 4 Villarreal. This big win made them qualify for their 2nd ever Champions League Quarter Finals since they were knocked out in 2009 by Unais former club Arsenal.
Unais Villarreal proceeded to shock the whole football world by knocking out Bayern Munich, which is presently regarded as the best club in the world, with an aggregate score of Bayern 1 – 2 Villarreal. This win was a huge shock to many fans of football, because Bayern was a team with top players and they had a record of humiliating other teams with ridiculous score lines, Barcelona fans knows what I’m talking about🙄🤣. Villareal had no chance coming into that game but they proved their doubters wrong, and yeah, I was one of them.
Unai Emery led Villarreal into the Champions League semifinals, and this was something that had never been done in the club’s history. It was a huge surprise to the world of football.
They played Liverpool in the semifinal of the Champions League. The first leg which was played in Anfield Stadium, England, ended in a 2 : 0 defeat to Villarreal CF. The second leg which was played in the Estadio de la Ceramica, Spain, was a very entertaining game of football. Villarreal displayed an excellent early performance, which gave them a comfortable 2 – 0 lead over Liverpool, leveling the aggregate score to 2 – 2, but Liverpool soon put the fairy tale to a stop, winning the game by, Villarreal 2 – 3 Liverpool, destroying Villareal’s Champions League finals dream.
Unai Emery has proven himself to be a world class coach, he has turned Villarreal CF into a very strong and blended team, and a well-respected team across the world.

They told me if I killed myself now it would save the lives of countless others.
Saying the longer I wait to kill myself the more people will suffer.
They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years. I know there are many in prison that dont deserve to be there because of this. Your stay in prison will not be fun @battleaxe and friends. People are going to want you dead when they find out what you did. I hope you die a slow painful death. You sick mother fuckers.

Its a terrorist act on American soil while some say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic and foreign threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth?
Personally I think he is a good coach, he has had brilliant moments with modest teams but when he has reached big clubs he has fallen short as it happened to him at Arsenal and PSG, there are coaches who can never make the leap to a top level club and stand out for being very good coaches of modest teams. I think Emery is very good and has shown the world that he has the ability to return to a top team in Europe. I think that to consider him world class and put him on the same level as coaches like Ancelotti, Mourinho, Klopp or Pep would not be fair. I think he is a very good coach who has surprised all and sundry with Villareal's great performance in the Champions League, however in my opinion he still lacks one more step to be at the level of the true World Class. Regards !!
I sincerely don't know what else you have to say but I can't find it easy to believe that Emery can survive as a great manager in the bigger teams.
I wouldn't go as far as saying world class as he has failed at the bigger clubs. I do think teams fail against Villareal because they underestimate them and expect to win.

Rulli was at fault for almost all of liverpool's goals but Emery has been a fantastic gaffer over the years, beating the red devils to win the Europa league was a fantastic feat. The best is to come
Unai Emery is a good coach no doubt but i think he's not so great with league but Cup games. When you take good look at his teams position in the league or performance they've mostly been inconsistent. The team UCL progress this season has been the only positive thing they've been far too inconsistent in there league performance. Same thing happened last season.
He has been great as he achieved for Villarreal what they've never but with Villarreal he needs to stable the team and make them get consistent results, they have what it takes.
I feel like if you give this coach enough time, he will know what to do with his players and will form a very strong team. Unfortunately, the big teams do not have too much time as their "investments" are too expensive to not win anything.
