Unai Emery Refuses to Blame Plastic Pitch for Villa's Performance at Young Boys
Emery Insists Villa Can Adapt to Any Surface
Unai Emery has dismissed concerns that Aston Villa's performance at Young Boys could be affected by the plastic pitch at the Stade de Suisse. The Spaniard believes his team can adapt to any surface and is confident they can get a positive result in Bern.
Villa have never played on a plastic pitch before, but Emery is not worried. He said: "We have prepared for this game as we would any other. We know that the pitch will be different, but we are confident that we can adapt. We have a good team and we are ready for the challenge."
Villa Have a Good Record on Artificial Surfaces
Emery's confidence is based on Villa's good record on artificial surfaces. In their last five games on plastic pitches, they have won three and drawn two. Their only defeat came against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup last season.
Emery said: "We have a good record on artificial surfaces, so I am not worried about that. We know what to expect and we are confident that we can get a good result."
Young Boys Will Be a Tough Opponent
Young Boys will be a tough opponent, but Emery is confident that Villa can get a positive result. He said: "Young Boys are a good team, but we are confident that we can beat them. We have a good team and we are ready for the challenge."
Villa will be looking to build on their impressive start to the season. They have won their last two games in the Premier League and are now up to eighth in the table. A win in Bern would give them a great chance of qualifying for the knockout stages of the Europa Conference League.
Conclusion
Unai Emery is confident that Aston Villa can get a positive result against Young Boys, despite the fact that the game will be played on a plastic pitch. Villa have a good record on artificial surfaces and Emery believes his team can adapt to any surface. Young Boys will be a tough opponent, but Emery is confident that Villa can get the win.
