Unai Emery’s best kept secret

This has undoubtedly been one of the Premier League’s most fascinating seasons. that’s it City of Manchester the cake was shared a year with Arsenal and the other with him Liverpoolwith no one else to offer the match, makes the competition with the most followers unattractive but this season it has been given a new twist.

Between leadership changes or small day-to-day differences, Pep Guardiola met again Jurgen Klopp and Mikel Artetaalthough this time at the same time, and with another guest as unexpected as he was Unai Emerywhere no betting house will give even one euro at the start of the season.

He Aston Villa He slipped into the great ones. And this is not a coincidence, nor is it the reason for the pointless drawing. The English team is doing things well and this is the block leading all the stars. Although many eyes are on Ollie Watkinsthe top scorer, or the ‘Dibu’ Martínezthere is a third main element that stands out above the deck that holds a Emery strategist and ready to hit the table.

It is nothing but Douglas Luizan old acquaintance of LaLiga EA Sports and more specifically of Girona. He spent two full seasons there on loan from City of Manchesterwhich in 2019 decided to release the Aston Villa even though the Brazilian is very young. It is worth saying in Guardiola’s defense that it is not his goal to perform as he does this season, or even to the level he did in the second round of the previous one. He achieved international status in Brazil and it was no accident. He, from the midfield position, is the extension of Emery on the field and the key to the game of villains, more refined and more dangerous.

Douglas Luiz He is a player who handles both legs well and is a modern footballer, who has enough strength to endure in a league like the Premier League and has the quality to lead a team that competes for it. Sure yes Guardiola going back in time, thinking about bringing it up now, especially with what Kalvin Phillips has become.
